Renowned actor Lee Seo Jin has made a surprising confession about his stance on marriage and having children, admitting that he has completely let go of the idea.
During a recent appearance on the YouTube channel Ttunddun, Lee Seo Jin sat down with Kim Kwang Gyu and Ji Seok Jin for a candid discussion. When asked about his personal life, he made it clear that he is perfectly content being single.
Do I look unhappy? I like being alone. I live my life feeling very grateful for what I have. I’ve enjoyed other kinds of happiness more than the happiness that comes from family, so I think it’s okay to give up on marriage. You can’t have everything in life.

Lee explained that while some people find happiness in family life, he has found fulfillment in other ways. The actor also touched on the idea of having children, acknowledging that many see it as life’s greatest joy.
I have the freedom to travel abroad all the time and enjoy myself, but I don’t have the happiness that comes from having a family. People say that the greatest happiness comes from having children. But I don’t think I’ll ever experience that in my lifetime.

I don’t have an ideal type. Honestly, I have no plans to get married at all. Maybe if something changes suddenly, but right now, I have no intention of getting married.
