I must have a family in 10 years. I want to get married quickly and imagine myself with a child.
Huh's revelation surprised host Yoo Joo-young, who commented that she expected him to be focused on his career.

During the conversation, Huh also delved into his dating preferences. Responding to a question about whether he approaches people he likes or waits for them, he explained that his behavior varies depending on the situation, the person, and the depth of his feelings. He admitted that his approach to flirting is also influenced by the other person's perceived interest, becoming more proactive if he senses mutual attraction and more reserved if he feels otherwise.
It seems to vary depending on the time, the person, and the size of my feelings.
Huh further elaborated on his consideration for his partner's feelings, stating, "I try not to do things they dislike, even if I used to enjoy them." He provided an example: if his partner expressed discomfort with staying out all night at a friend's house, he would adjust his plans, drinking moderately and returning home earlier.
I try not to do things they dislike, even if I used to enjoy them.
