Actor Yoon Kye-sang mentioned the fact that he underwent surgery for a brain aneurysm three years ago and his plans for a second child.
Yoon Kye-sang appeared on JTBC's 'Newsroom', which aired on the 10th.
On this day's broadcast, Yoon Kye-sang said that these days, many of his friends recognize him as Jang Chen, not as a member of the group god. He confessed, “I think you all know me as Jang Chen. I don’t think they know that I was an idol or a singer.”
Yoon Kye-sang married a businessman five years younger than her last year after registering her marriage in 2021. He explained, "I'm not alone. I have a great sense of security. I feel like I have a much greater sense of comfort. I feel confident because I know that no matter what I do, I have my family behind me."
Yoon Kye-sang debuted with god in 1999. This year marks his 25th debut anniversary and 20th anniversary as an actor. Yoon Kye-sang said, "I didn't know I would be active for this long. I didn't even know I would become an actor. At the time, I just started with the mindset of wanting to sing 'To Mother' perfectly well, but now I think I've come this far."
god was given the modifier ‘national group’. Regarding this, Yoon Kye-sang said, "Thank you. When you look at me, some people think of me as Jang Chen, and some people think of me as god. I think it would be nice if there were more of them. I'm Yoon Kye-sang, and in some ways, “Looking at it this way, I think it’s such a fun life.”
There was a difficult time because of having to act like an actor. Yoon Kye-sang said, "It was definitely there. I thought that if that bright feeling and that kind of image from back then were imprinted on the public, I wouldn't be able to play various roles. I don't know why, but I wanted to erase it a lot at that age, and in order to do that, I had to be a little more serious. “I think I had the idea that I shouldn’t smile that much, but that’s the way it should be,” he said.
Kye-Sang Yoon mentioned the criteria for selecting works. He said, "I think I focus on the story that I am most interested in at the time. Because there is a certain social issue, it is not to show something using this, but just my thoughts at the time and the consensus that the public receives when I tell this story. “It seems like he really thinks about the emotions that are forming.”
Yoon Kye-sang will appear in the drama 'Kidnapping Day', which will premiere on the 13th. He explained, "The story about family really touched me. So, I can define it as a story about the parents' perspective, their attitude toward their children, and the love between husband and wife and family. It's just a very warm story."
Yoon Kye-sang, who took on the role of a father for the first time through 'Kidnapping Day', said, "I felt that emotion in my own way. As I was doing it, I had a friend named Yuna, who I played the role with, and I really wanted to have a daughter." He said, “It doesn’t matter (son or daughter) because it’s not something we can do as we please.”
In addition, Yoon Kye-sang talked about the fact that he underwent surgery for a brain aneurysm three years ago. He said, "I was lying on the operating table, but I thought that this could be the last time, so I thought that if I came to my senses again, it would be a bonus and I would live a good life. I think I thought I should live a good life."
Yoon Kye-sang said, "I think I should just live as I am. I think that if I make myself happy and decide to follow a certain path, they will support me and look at me like this. So, don't be swayed and let's go well." He said.
