Long-time heartthrob Song Seung Heon has been in the spotlight for his roles in numerous hit TV shows, but recently, his personal life has caught the public’s attention. During an appearance on Mom’s Diary episode 396, the 47-year-old actor opened up about his love life and the persistent question from his father: “When will you get married?”
1. A Father’s Persistent Question
At the age of 47, Song Seung Heon is often asked by his family, especially his father, about marriage. The actor revealed that his father has been asking him this question for the past three or four years. Song Seung Heon’s two older brothers are married with children, which puts more pressure on him as the only unmarried sibling.
“I have two older brothers. They are married and have children. Only I am not married. My mother never insisted on when I got married. Maybe because she was focused on her grandchildren. In contrast to my father who always asked when I was getting married. In fact, he once asked me, ‘Why don’t you get married?’,” Song Seung Heon shared.
It’s clear that his father’s inquiries stem from a place of concern and traditional expectations. Song’s fans can definitely relate to the familial pressure of settling down, especially in cultures where marriage is considered a significant milestone.
2. Always Three Years Away
Whenever asked about his marriage plans, Song Seung Heon consistently responds with, “In three years.” This has been his go-to answer for quite some time, even though he admits to renewing this resolution every three years. It’s almost become a running joke, both for him and his fans.
During the show, Seo Jang Hoon, one of the hosts and a fellow single, humorously invited Song Seung Heon to join him as a host on Mom’s Diary if he remains unmarried in the next three years. Song laughed and replied, “That’s okay too. But I’m worried that if hanging out with men is too fun, I won’t have the desire to get married.”
This lighthearted exchange highlights Song Seung Heon’s charming personality and his ability to handle personal questions with humor and grace.
3. First Love Memories
Adding to the intriguing revelations, Song Seung Heon shared a sweet story about his first love in high school during the show. He recalled how he auditioned to be a vocalist in a vocal group after being mesmerized by a female senior playing the piano. Although he didn’t pass the audition, the experience left a lasting impression on him.
“It was break time. For the first time, the vocal ensemble recruited new students. I was amazed when I saw a female senior playing the piano. She seemed to shine in my eyes. I immediately raised my hand and said I wanted to be a vocalist. It was in line with my dream when I was little,” he recounted.
Even though he didn’t make it through the audition, a touching moment followed when the senior asked him how he was after being eliminated, leaving him with a beautiful memory.
