Actor Cha In-pyo confessed about experiencing panic disorder for the first time inside an airplane.

Cha In-pyo appeared on the interview segment "Your Life" of the YouTube channel "Shin Ae-ra Life," which was released on the 21st.

On that day, Cha In-pyo revealed that although he grew up between a well-studying older brother and younger sister, his parents never compared him to them. He recalled, "My brother and sister were good at studying, but I've never been told, 'Why can't you do as well as them?' While I was compared to my brother at school, at home my mother would say, 'You're different. Instead, you're good at basketball.'"

Shin Ae-ra also said, "Comparison is truly bad. If a child has nowhere to go, not even at home," adding, "Home must be the last fortress for children."

Cha In-pyo then shared the moment he first experienced panic while on a plane heading to Istanbul several years ago for a documentary shoot. While reading a script inside the aircraft, he felt as if he were suddenly submerged in water, unable to breathe and feeling like water was rising around him. "It was so suffocating that I thought I had to break out of my body to survive," he said. He added, "I felt like all my institutional investors needed to leave this body, this prison called Cha In-pyo, to live." Upon realizing he couldn't exit the plane, he reflected, "Even my bank balance, our home, my beloved wife, and my family could offer no help at all." He admitted, "I realized that when a person dies, this is exactly the feeling they experience. Completely left alone, I will go." About 30 minutes later, the symptoms subsided, but he found it difficult to fly alone afterward. Currently, he is gradually overcoming his fear by traveling long distances with his wife, who acts as his stabilizer.

Cha In-pyo recalled his mother's life after losing her parents at age 15 while looking at a childhood photo of himself being held in her arms. While helping with farm work on behalf of his aging mother, he thought, "I am my mother's guardian angel. Until she passes away, this will be my most glorious role." He then turned to Shin Ae-ra and said, "As soon as I thought of my guardian angel, it was you." He confessed, "Through meeting you, I have visited places I never would have gone and met people I never would have encountered. Thanks to you, I was able to embrace two daughters I couldn't have held before and live a completely different life. I realized that Shin Ae-ra was my guardian angel."

Cha In-pyo expressed his desire to tell his mother at her final moment, "I am truly honored to be able to care for you like this," adding that caring for a loved one until the very end is also "a very precious moment."

When asked if he would want to marry Shin Ae-ra again even if he were reborn, Cha In-pyo smiled and said, "I don't believe in being reborn." He then added, "If I were to be reborn and get married again, I would want to marry my wife. After all, what's the point of marrying someone else?" He affectionately remarked, "I always loved seeing your profile, but now seeing your face is even better."
