In 2009, he and his wife opened a restaurant called 「Jumong's Wangsomun Feast Noodles」. The business went well with the success of 'Dongi', but I drank with the customers every day. be drunk all week So I fought with my wife every two or three days. I feel sorry for my wife that I couldn't refuse (the offer of alcohol from customers who recognized it). That's what motivated me to close after two years.'

My mother and father were quite against it. When I saw my daughter, I chose my father's seat. Since I was a voice actor, my daughter died of fun when I played with her voice. I want to be a father who is always friendly to children" expressed affection.

My wife recommended a return to acting, but Soon Dong-woon was still hesitant.

The historical drama is interesting, but the snow frightens me."
