Actor Byun Yo-han has drawn attention by sharing the reasons behind his decision to marry Tiffany Young, a former member of Girls' Generation.


On September 3, Byun appeared on the YouTube channel 'Choo Sung-hoon' and discussed his marriage to Tiffany, from the reasons for their union to their newlywed life.


Byun stated, "This is the first time I’m sharing this. I always dated to protect my partner. But I met a woman who protects me, gives me courage, and helps me overcome challenges for the first time."


He continued, "I haven’t traveled for about ten years due to health issues. I was afraid of flying, so I started with short trips to Japan, which is just a two-hour flight, and gradually worked my way up to Southeast Asia, which takes over five hours. I never thought I could go beyond that, but Tiffany was the first to book a flight for me and said, 'Trust me. Just follow me.'"


Upon landing, he recalled feeling a new emotion, saying, "As soon as I got off the plane, I thought, 'What is this feeling?' I’ve been acting for a long time and I’m not young, but I felt something new."


Regarding his current married life, he expressed, "I’m really happy right now. However, I always try to maintain my composure. I want to love for a long time, so I’m managing my energy."


When asked by Choo Sung-hoon about what he enjoys doing with his wife, Byun replied, "After my schedule, I enjoy walking with our dogs and talking. Traveling is also wonderful."


He acknowledged that sometimes they feel their differences, saying, "I enjoy listening to my wife, but I realize, 'Wow, she’s a completely different person. Our rhythms are different.' Sometimes I get scolded during our conversations, but I find that the most fun part of our newlywed life."


Byun Yo-han and Tiffany Young developed their relationship after co-starring in the Disney+ series 'Uncle Sam-sik' and registered their marriage in February.
