I draw great inspiration from seeing the 97-year-old teacher Shin Young-kyun consistently exercising.

Shin Hyun-joon stated that he draws significant motivation from witnessing Shin Young-kyun's regular workouts. He emphasized that for actors, maintaining physical condition is not merely about appearance but a responsibility to deliver enduring performances and a promise to remain healthy for their children. Shin Hyun-joon affectionately added that he wants to be able to embrace his children, Min-jun, Ye-jun, and Min-seo, for a long time.

Managing one's body as an actor is natural, but for me, it's not just about appearance. It's a responsibility to show good acting for a long time, and a promise to stay healthy longer to be with my children as the father of three.

Shin Young-kyun, born in November 1928, is now 97 years old internationally and 99 by Korean age reckoning. A graduate of Seoul National University's School of Dentistry, he debuted in the 1960 film 'The Virtuous Woman.' He rose to prominence in the 1960s and 70s, portraying strong, masculine characters in films such as 'Prince Yeonsan' (1962), 'Red Muffler' (1964), 'Sadness in the Sky' (1965), and the 'Even If I Hate You' series.

I will embrace Min-jun, Ye-jun, and Min-seo for a long, long time.
