Actor Shin Hyun-jun revealed his love story with his wife, who is 12 years younger than him.

On the 23rd episode of tvN's variety program 'You Quiz on the Block,' Shin Hyun-jun appeared as a guest.

That day, Shin Hyun-jun began by saying about his first meeting with his wife: "Until I met my wife, I had no thoughts of marriage. I wondered if I could meet someone and have a passionate and pure love like before. I thought it wouldn't happen."

He continued, "Kim Byung-man said he really wanted to eat mak-guksu (buckwheat noodles). Since there was no mak-guksu restaurant in our neighborhood, we searched and found one in a district I usually don't visit. When Byung-man bought the mak-guksu, he felt it would be a shame to just go home without drinking, so he asked me to buy some makgeolli (rice wine). It was my first time in that area, but after buying pajeon (scallion pancakes) and makgeolli for him, he suggested we go drink beer. On the way to get beer, I saw a woman standing on the street with a cello. Our eyes met as I passed by, and she seemed like someone I had known for a very long time. When I looked again, my wife was also staring at me continuously. As I walked past, my heart started pounding wildly." He recalled their first meeting.

Shin Hyun-jun explained, "My wife tried to get an autograph on her cello. She is an international student who studied the cello in the U.S. when she was young, and she said the last movie she saw was 'A Tree with Cello,' calling herself a fan. If I didn't feel anything, I would have signed it quickly, but since it felt like I had known her for a long time, I signed it with a trembling heart."

He added, "I wanted to ask for her contact information at least. She said she was a fan, so asking for her number seemed inappropriate and tacky. Fortunately, I had my business card in my pocket with my phone number, so I gave it to her. She asked why I would give it to her. Not knowing what to say, I asked if she had any religion. I told her I wanted to evangelize, which made everyone laugh."

After that, his wife contacted him, and their relationship developed further until they became a couple.

Meanwhile, Shin Hyun-jun married cellist Kim Kyung-mi, who is 12 years younger than him, in December 2013, and they have two sons and one daughter.
