Park Hae Joon plays the role of middle-aged IU's 'father': his personal life is like 'someone else's husband'

Since its official broadcast until now, "When Life Gives You a Tangerine" by IU and Park Bo Gum has become a topic of public interest as well as making the audience cry.

Besides IU and Park Bo Gum's increasingly improved acting, the audience is also impressed with the excellent transformation of Moon So Ri - Park Hae Joon. These are the 2 actors who take on the characters of IU and Park Bo Gum when they are middle-aged.

Right from the first scenes when he appeared, actor Park Hae Joon made the audience cry with his gentle and somewhat austere acting of a father who loves his wife, children and family very much.

Just like in "When Life Gives You Oranges", in real life, Park Hae Joon is also considered an exemplary husband and father, always loving and taking care of his small family.

Born in 1976, Park Hae Joon graduated from the Department of Theater at the Korea National University of Arts. Few people know that, while still in school, Park Hae Joon was a junior of male actors such as: Jang Dong Gu.n, Oh Ma Seok, Lee Sun Gyun... at the Korea National University of Arts.

After many years of working in both film and television, Park Hae Joon is still a name that is obscure. Even in the early days of his career, Park Hae Joon played supporting roles that only appeared for a few minutes on film. He took on supporting roles in many famous films but only recently had his first leading role in television with The World of the Married. Before that, he took on a number of supporting roles in film projects such as Hwayi A Monster Bo.y, Doctor Stranger, Misaeng. However, compared to other male actors in the industry, Park Hae Joon is quite secretive.

2018 marked a real turning point in Park Hae Joon's acting career when he played a drug trafficker in the movie Believer. It was from this role that the actor's name became more noticeable. Thanks to that, Park Hae Joon was nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the prestigious Buil Film Awards and Baeksang Art Awards.

It was not until The World of Marriage, at the ag.e of 44, that he first played the main role in a TV series, that Park Hae Joon's name really shined. This was also his first male lead role on TV. After his own efforts, this is the result that Park Hae Joon deserves to receive and continue to develop his career in the future.

Park Hae Joon is also quite secretive about his personal life. The actor rarely mentions his family and almost never gets involved in private scandals. The only rare time Park Hae Joon mentioned his two sons was when he participated in a TV show in 2022.

Here, Park Hae Joon couldn't help but proudly share that he is the father of two sons. The eldest son is now 13 years old, and the second is 9 years old. Talking about his first son, Park Hae Joon said: "Since birth, no one has ever criticized him for not being cute. Everyone around is surprised and compliments my son for being very handsome." Park Hae Joon humorously added: "There are even cases where people express surprise at my son's handsome appearance when they pass by."

Although he is an actor with a busy schedule, Park Hae Joon always arranges time to spend with his wife and children as much as possible. The actor once revealed that his weekend schedule is dedicated to his family. Specifically, on Friday nights, after putting the children to bed, Park Hae Joon and his wife will drink a can of beer and enjoy a movie at home, instead of going out.

Park Hae Joon said: "When I'm with my family, I try very hard. Every time I start a new project, my wife always understands and creates conditions for me to have space to rest and keep my distance from the children."

In real life, Park Hae Joon is an extremely loyal man. Accordingly, Park Hae Joon met his wife Oh Yoo Jin, 5 years younger than him, in 2003. His wife is his junior in the drama acting profession. After 7 years of dating, the couple officially got married in 2010. The couple welcomed their first son three years later. Up to now, Park Hae Joon and his wife have spent 17 passionate years together.

Unlike many other actors, instead of hiding his private life to help his career go more smoothly, Park Hae Joon chose to openly announce that he was married. Not only that, the actor of "The World of the Married" once praised his wife as more beautiful and attractive than any other woman in the world while holding his son in his arms.

After marrying his wife in 2010, Park Hae Joon paused his activities for about a year to spend time taking care of his house, family life, and supporting her work. Regarding the reason for making his marriage public, Park Hae Joon said: "I'm not young anymore. I don't want to hide my marriage."
