Actor Cha In-pyo expressed deep gratitude toward his wife, Shin Ae-ra.

According to the interview segment "Your Life" on the YouTube channel "Shinaelife," which was released on the 7th, guest Cha In-pyo honestly reflected on his life as an actor, husband, and father.

Cha introduced himself as someone who enjoys stepping out of their comfort zone. After leaving corporate employment to pursue acting, he expanded his creative pursuits to include writing novels, and recently made his debut on a theater stage for the first time in 33 years since his debut.

Although he initially hesitated about appearing in theater productions, he found courage through the encouragement of Shin Ae-ra and his mother. He stated, "When I look back at the final moments of my life, I want to choose actions that allow me to think, 'I made the right choice.'" Regarding the young actors performing alongside him, he said, "Ultimately, it was the younger actors who launched my career as a theater performer." He added, "People seem to live by becoming each other's audience and offering support. The same applies to marriage."

While looking at old family photos, Cha became emotional recalling the moment he first met his daughter, Ye-eun. He reminisced, "It wasn't just that a small life joined our family; every perspective I had of the world changed." To Shin Ae-ra, who initially proposed adoption, he confessed, "I realized my wife could give me a daughter I never imagined having. Thanks to you, I made truly good choices and can now believe I've lived a meaningful life."

When asked about the most difficult moment in his life, Cha cited the separation from his younger sibling who passed away in 2013. He revealed that he left the SBS talk show "Thank You," which was then airing, to stay by his sibling's side during their battle with oral cancer. "I didn't even have time to process the grief of losing my sibling," he shared, describing how he had to prioritize caring for his parents who lost a child, his nephew who lost a father, and his sister-in-law who lost her husband. Regarding Shin Ae-ra, who held his hand and prayed with him during his sibling's final moments, Cha said, "It was one of the most grateful scenes I've experienced in life," adding, "Her presence provided immense comfort during that unbearable moment of parting."
