"I received a best actor award for it and it helped me get married," he said during an Arirang News interview. The two have been married for almost a decade.

2. He helps around the house. Han Ga In says he's understanding of the demands her career places on her. While she was filming "The Moon Embracing the Sun" she could only go home once a week and had no time for housework.

" On the days I was able to go home, everything in the house from the laundry to the cleaning would be done," she said. "He also regularly took care of his own meals."

She is currently not working o a production as they are expecting their first child in early 2015.

"I own a Ferrari 458 Spider and I used to be a racer in Korea," he said in an interview with The Straits Times. "I don't know if that tells you how good a driver I am."

He also bought a Maserati and has in the past owned a Lamborghini.

5.     The actor is not sure why fans say he is so charming but he is most often told that he seems sweet and tender. He thinks that taking on and succeeding in challenging roles is more important than fame.

I don't need a lot of love from fans, he said modestly during the Arirang interview. Just an average amount.
