Actor Yoon Gi-won shared updates about his life after remarrying.

On the 27th, a video titled 'Legendary KBS Class of 7 Reunion Preliminary Meeting' was posted on the YouTube channel 'Jo Dongari'. The broadcast featured actors Yoon Gi-won and Choi Seung-kyung.

Yoon Gi-won, who tied the knot with a woman 11 years younger in 2023, said, "Try it twice, it's good," sharing his cheerful thoughts on marriage. He mentioned, "I met my wife through an introduction around February 2022. After meeting three or four times, I started to seriously consider marriage."

Yoon Gi-won recounted, "When we met three or four times, my wife mentioned that she had been divorced, and after a few more meetings, she revealed that she had a son." He added, "At that time, her son was in the 4th grade of elementary school. I was grateful that she shared such information honestly early on."

He continued, "If she had told me about it after meeting for more than six months, it could have been a problem. I expressed my gratitude for her telling me this early."

His wife's son currently lives with Yoon Gi-won. He said, "At that time, the child was at his mother-in-law's house, but I told her to bring him once we got married," adding, "We are currently in the process of a stepchild adoption. It is said that getting approval for a stepchild adoption is not easy. Changing the surname will be very easy once the adoption process is complete."

Meanwhile, Yoon Gi-won married actress Hwang Eun-jung in 2012 but divorced in 2017. He later remarried a woman 11 years younger.
