Not only famous and talented, Cha Tae Hyun is also admired for having a beautiful and stable love story for nearly 30 years with his wife.
In 2001, My Sassy Girl hit theaters and quickly became famous throughout Asia thanks to the wonderful chemistry of the couple Jeon Ji Hyun and Cha Tae Hyun. Taking on the role of a nerd boy who has a beautiful love affair with a sassy girl (played by Jeon Ji Hyun), Cha Tae Hyun made a strong impression on the audience.
Thanks to that, although he does not possess a handsome appearance like many actors of the same generation, the actor born in 1976 still rose to stardom and was loved by the public.
A talented actor
Cha Tae Hyun started his acting career after winning the top prize at the KBS talent audition in 1995. However, because of his lack of outstanding appearance, he faced many difficulties in the early years of his career. For 6 years in a row, the actor only received supporting roles despite working hard.
Since then, Cha Tae Hyun continuously received hit projects. After My Sassy Girl, he continued to participate in many popular projects such as Miracle Of Giving Fool, Scandal Makers, The Grand Heist, Along With The God…
In particular, “Scandal Makers” then was seen as another “lifetime” work of Cha Tae Hyun. The film created a box office craze in 2008 as it attracted more than 470 Korean audiences to theaters on the first day of its release.
In addition to acting, Cha Tae Hyun is also considered a multi-talented star. He can take on many jobs such as MC, DJ for radio shows, even singing. Thanks to that, the actor’s charm and influence is always maintained, helping him become a powerful star.
Cha Tae Hyun, a brilliant and compassionate man, made the decision to team up with his manager to found Blossom Entertainment. Many well-known actors are currently under Blossom Entertainment’s management, most notably Park Bo Gum.
A beautiful love story
Not only famous and talented, Cha Tae Hyun is also admired for having a beautiful and long-lasting love story with his wife. Cha Tae Hyun’s whole life was only for Choi Seok Eun, a woman who was not as beautiful and gorgeous as the actresses he had worked with. Choi Seok Eun is the only person Cha Tae Hyun wants to spend his life with.
Cha Tae Hyun and Choi Seok Eun first met when they were in their second year of high school. At first sight, the boy fell in love with the girl. But at that time, he only secretly loved her because she already had a boyfriend.
It was only when Seok Eun broke up with her ex-lover that Cha Tae Hyun had the opportunity to express his feelings. The actor once said, “Once while walking down the street, I couldn’t help but kiss her cheek. So Seok Eun immediately gave me a slap.”
After he was rejected many times, Cha Tae Hyun’s sincerity finally touched Seok Eun. But the couple also had many quarrels because they were too young at that time.
Cha Tae Hyun confided that after each breakup, Seok Eun had a new boyfriend, while during his youth he only loved her. Even his friends advised the actor to find someone else, but he just insisted, “Since the first time I met Seok Eun, I have been determined to marry this girl.”
During the years of love, Seok Eun always supported Cha Tae Hyun on his artistic path despite many failures. Thanks to the encouragement of his girlfriend, Tae Hyun has more confidence to continue striving. Luck smiled on the hardworking guy, as he was cast as the main actor of My Sassy Girl and became famous.
Seeing Cha Tae Hyun achieve his wish, Seok Eun burst into tears of happiness. “Those tears of hers make me remember forever. I understand that every aura fades away, only this girl will be with me even if I fail,” the actor expressed.
In 2006, after 13 years together, Cha Tae Hyun proposed to Seok Eun. Not long after, the couple’s wedding took place.
Happy life at the age of 46
As time goes by, Cha Tae Hyun and Seok Eun have been together for nearly 30 years, their love is still as passionate as it was at the beginning. Currently, the two have 3 children together, 2 girls, and 1 boy.
As a famous actor, he often interacts with many beautiful female co-stars such as Jeon Ji Hyun, Song Hye Kyo, Sung Yoo Ri… but Cha Tae Hyun has never been caught in love rumors because he is always single-minded towards his wife.
The ‘My Sassy Girl’ actor honestly said, “When I became famous, people thought I would change my mind and leave Seok Eun. However, in fact, I was the one who ran after her, worried and found all sorts of ways to ‘tie’ her with me.”
Thanks to his deep love for his wife and devotion to his family, Cha Tae Hyun is currently one of the male stars who have the happiest private life in Kbiz.
Currently, at the age of 40s, Cha Tae Hyun is still working hard by participating in a number of TV shows and entertainment game shows. In addition, not long ago, the actor confirmed that he would play the main role in the KBS drama Brain Cooperation, collaborating with actors Jung Yong Hwa, Kwak Sun Young and Ye Ji Won.
