Actor Dong-hyun Bae opened up about being known as Taeyang, the older brother of the group BIGBANG.

On the 16th, a video titled "I've Been Trapped for 20 Years" was released on the YouTube channel 'Nameless Actor Dong-hyun Bae'.

In the video, Dong-hyun Bae began by saying, "Even close friends introduce me as 'Taeyang's older brother' in private settings. I don't mind because it's true."

He continued, "Someone once asked, 'Is that really your friend?' and suggested I should say my name is actor Dong-hyun Bae. Even my maternal uncle refers to me as 'Taeyang's older brother.'"

Dong-hyun Bae expressed understanding of why people introduce him this way. He said, "I understand their intention. They do it so they can recognize me." However, he added, "Hearing that made me reflect on myself again."

He then remarked, "Unknowingly, I've lived within the 'Taeyang's older brother' frame, thinking 'I shouldn't do this' or 'I shouldn't do that.' But here, I want to be honest."

He also directly addressed whether he had ever received financial help from his family. Dong-hyun Bae stated, "Of course, I've received financial support from my parents. However, I have never asked my younger brother for help. After all, he is still my younger brother," drawing a clear line.

When asked why he continues acting, Dong-hyun Bae said, "To be honest, being known as 'Taeyang's older brother' has been the most famous thing so far. As for representative works, it might be something like 'Unexpected Boss.' There are many roles I want to play. I'd like to try romance and also villain roles." He added, "But right now, just acting itself is a blessing. I simply want to act. That brings me happiness."
