Actor Jo In Sung recently shared his thoughts on dating and marriage, revealing that his confidence has taken a hit.

On September 9, the YouTube channel "Sympathetic Hyung Shin Dong Yup" dropped a video where the actor got real about his feelings.

Jo In Sung admitted, “Right now, I’m happy. But it’s not because of marriage. Even if I start dating again, I think I’d still be happy. Saying ‘I’ll never marry’ or ‘I have to get married’ is just too extreme,” hinting that he’s not completely against the idea.

He also shared a personal story about his mom, saying, “I’m at the age where I should be married, and my mom keeps telling me, ‘You should at least have a kid.’”

He reflected on this by adding, “People think living a ‘normal’ life means getting married and raising kids, but I wonder how tough that life must be. I think those people are really mature. When things get hard, I turn to famous people or books for advice, but honestly, my parents have been the best teachers and guides for me.”

When asked about his dating life, Jo In Sung said, “It comes and goes, comes and goes.”

He also opened up about a conversation with fellow actor Bae Sung Woo earlier this year. Jo In Sung said, “I called him and told him, ‘Hyung, I’m losing confidence as a man.’ I felt like I had a better shot dating younger women than someone my age or older, and I wondered, ‘Do I even have any charm left?’”

Jo In Sung continued, “Sometimes I think, ‘I’m getting older little by little.’ Without my fame, I wonder, ‘Would younger women still like me?’ I mean, everyone from their 20s to their 60s is competition. So, I asked, ‘Am I still competitive?’ and Sung Woo hyung jokingly said, ‘Why are you doing this to me?’” His story brought some laughs.

Actress Kang Ye Won got emotional as she opened up about why she took a break from broadcasting and why she’s finally giving love a chance.

On the March 3 episode of tvN STORY’s Can I Love Now?, Kang Ye Won made her debut as a new participant looking for romance.

During the broadcast, she revealed that negative online comments had deeply affected her. "I used to cry all the time reading comments. I get hurt easily. What might be a small wound for others feels like a huge blow to me," she shared, expressing the stress she faced from malicious remarks.

She also admitted that at one point, she wanted to leave everything behind. "I kept thinking, ‘How long do I have to keep working this hard?’ and it became overwhelming."

She added, "At one point, I thought, ‘I should just quit everything and move to the countryside,’ and that idea actually gave me peace," she confessed.

When it came to dating, Kang Ye Won shared that she had always been content watching others fall in love.

"It never worked out for me. I wasn’t the type to ask for introductions either. I just found comfort in living as an observer. Maybe it’s my fate. I’m fearful, and I lack courage. If I feel like someone might hurt me, I block them out from the start," she admitted.

However, the actress revealed that she ultimately joined Can I Love Now? for her father. "My dad was born in 1943. He had me late in life, and his health isn’t great."

She added, "I realized that if I continue living alone like this, I won’t be able to give my parents any hope until the moment they pass away," she said with tears in her eyes. "My perspective on life has changed. I no longer think just about myself, but about my parents."

Kang Ye Won’s heartfelt confession touched many viewers, leaving fans rooting for her to find happiness.
