Cha Hyun-woo, the husband of actress Hwang Bo-ra and son of veteran actor Kim Yong-gun, has spoken out about the pressures of living under the shadow of his famous family.

A video uploaded on October 16th to Hwang Bo-ra's YouTube channel, 'Hwang Bo-ra Variety,' titled 'Husband's Real Reaction After Shocking Anniversary Declaration,' featured Cha Hyun-woo candidly discussing his experiences.

During a dinner outing to celebrate their wedding anniversary, Cha Hyun-woo, who usually avoids the spotlight, revealed the reasons behind his reluctance to show his face on camera.

He shared, 'Since I was young, I've lived as 'so-and-so's son.' You wouldn't know the restrictions that come with it unless you've experienced it yourself. I've always had to be cautious with every single action I take,' he admitted frankly.

Hwang Bo-ra, listening to her husband's heartfelt confession, expressed her understanding, saying, 'You've always been known as 'so-and-so's son,' then 'so-and-so's brother,' and now even 'so-and-so's husband.' I truly understand how you feel, constantly having to carry labels associated with others.'

Netizens watching the video commented with empathy, such as, 'You must have gone through a lot,' 'Cha Hyun-woo, I hope you can now do what you want and be happy!' and 'Wishing you and Hwang Bo-ra a long and happy marriage!'
