Bae Yong Joon is one of the actors associated with the golden age of the Hallyu wave. With the main role in "Winter Sonata", the Korean actor was once one of the most famous male gods in Asia.
After many years away from the screen, his current life makes many people curious.
In the movie "Winter Sonata" in 2002, the image of the calm and gentle young man Kang Joon Sang helped Bae Yong Joon become an icon of the first generation of Hallyu, especially famous in Japan, China and many Southeast Asian countries.
When he was at the peak of his career, Bae Yong Joon gradually withdrew from the screen and switched to business. He founded KeyEast entertainment company, which used to manage many famous artists, including Kim Soo Hyun.
In 2018, he sold KeyEast shares to SM Entertainment, almost withdrawing from the entertainment business.
After the movie "Dream High" in 2011, Bae Yong Joon did not participate in any more film projects. From a top star, he completely switched to a private life.
His career is favorable, and Bae Yong Joon's love life is also fulfilled. In 2015, he married Park Soo Jin, a former member of the group Sugar, 13 years younger than him. The two had a boss-artist relationship before developing feelings for each other and only dated for about 3 months before deciding to get married.
After getting married, Park Soo Jin also gradually withdrew from the entertainment industry, spending most of her time taking care of her family. The two have a son and a daughter. The family of 4 moved to Honolulu, Hawaii (USA) in 2022 to have a private life, away from media attention.
Recently, images of Bae Yong Joon with his wife and two children traveling in Singapore were suddenly shared on social networks. His family went with actress Park Shin Hye and her husband. This is one of the rare times the actor has appeared publicly after many years.
At the age of 54, Bae Yong Joon no longer has the handsome appearance he had when he was young. He has long hair and is very gray, not trying to hide age signs. However, the actor still maintains a healthy figure and calm demeanor. During the trip, he constantly cared about his wife and children, especially paying attention to the two children.
From a male god who was once hunted by millions of Asian audiences, Bae Yong Joon has switched to being a businessman and then become a secretive husband and father. He left showbiz when he was at his peak and chose to live simply with his family.
At the age of 54, Bae Yong Joon currently has a fairly peaceful life abroad. No longer appearing frequently in the media. For many fans of the first generation of Hallyu, this is probably also one of the beautiful endings for the male god who once captivated all of Asia.
