Throughout his 18-year career, actor Choi Jin Hyuk has never publicly dated anyone. Until now, the actor of The Heirs has gradually opened up about his private life.
In the new episode of Four Men, MC Lee Sang Min pointed out that: "Jin Hyuk has a painful dating past. He suffered extreme pain from being cheated on by his girlfriend twice in a row." Choi Jin Hyuk admitted: "Yes, I was shocked at that time. Being betrayed again after the first time was difficult. She seemed so kind and sincere that I never thought she could treat me like that."
The actor born in 1986 continued: "She's always kind and polite wherever she goes. I can't believe it. We've been together for almost 2 years, so now I find it hard to trust others, especially when it comes to relationships."
MC Tak Jae Hoon sympathized with Choi Jin Hyuk: "I understand what you're thinking. But no one knows what the future holds. If you meet someone you truly love, those doubts will disappear. That's why people decide to get married. Those defensive thoughts and distrust can completely change."
On last year's My Little Old Boy, Choi Jin Hyuk first mentioned his ex-girlfriend: "I even considered getting married, but she cheated on me." The Heirs actor laughed bitterly: "This is the first time I've talked about this on TV. She betrayed me. Since then, I've found it difficult to date someone new. It turns out I was the one who came later, she already had a boyfriend. We dated for over a year. During that time, I wasn't her official boyfriend. It's unbelievable, right?"
Choi Jin Hyuk was born in 1986, and made an impression with the role of the divine beast Gu Wol Ryung in Gu Family Book, Kim Won - Kim Tan's brother (played by Lee Min Ho) in The Heirs, bodyguard Na Wang Sik in The Last Empress... In 2021, Choi Jin Hyuk was discovered violating Covid-19 prevention regulations when he went to a bar. The management company explained that he was brought there by an acquaintance without knowing that the bar was illegally open during the period of social distancing. The explanation did not receive support from the audience.
After the incident, Choi Jin Hyuk announced that he would suspend his artistic activities for more than 2 years. Most recently, the actor was rumored to be dating Eunji (Apink). Accordingly, veteran actress Lee Jung Eun hinted about their relationship in a podcast. Specifically, Lee Jung Eun said she felt that there was something "unusual" between Eunji and Choi Jin Hyuk during the filming of Miss Night And Day: "I asked Choi Jin Hyuk what he thought about Eunji and he said that they were like siblings. I think he might be hiding his feelings. I hope their relationship will develop deeper after this collaboration."
Following Lee Jung Eun, MC Shin Dong Yup said that he also felt that Eunji and Choi Jin Hyuk "turned out to be a fake relationship". "I think Eunji and Choi Jin Hyuk have taken a big step forward in their relationship that we don't know about. I even wish that you two would kiss at the end of the show," MC Shin Dong Yup said.
