Han Ga-in reveals she told husband she wouldn't marry him two days before the wedding

Actor Han Ga-in has revealed for the first time that she told her husband Yeon Jung-hoon she could not go through with their wedding just two days before the ceremony.

On Wednesday, Han appeared on the YouTube channel "With Sean," where she opened up about her marriage after going for a run with host Sean. "I don't think I've ever talked about this anywhere, but two days before the wedding I said, 'I'm not doing it. I can't do this,'" she said. "My husband even came to my filming set."

Han explained that Yeon had grown up in the United States, so many of his friends had flown in for the wedding. "I was busy filming, and I saw my husband spending time with his friends and looking all over the place," she said. "I thought, 'If he's like this after we get married, that's going to be a problem.'"

"So I said, 'Then I can't get married. I can't do this,'" she added. When host Sean asked whether she had sent all the friends back to the United States, Han laughed and said, "They did attend the wedding."

Han also described the couple's different sleep schedules. "My husband is a night owl and I'm completely an early riser, so 2 or 3 a.m. isn't that late for him, but for me it's the dead of night," she said. "I just couldn't understand how anyone could stay up until 2 or 3 in the morning."

Han also shared the marriage plans she had imagined as a child. "When I was young, I had absolutely no intention of getting married before I turned 30. I wanted to marry someone much older than me," she said. "I had an absent father figure in my life, so I wanted someone who could hold me warmly and look after me the way a father would — I wanted to marry someone at least eight years older."

Han married Yeon, who is two years her senior, in 2005 when she was 24.

"We almost never fight. You might not believe it, but I can count the times on one hand," she said. "In 20 years, we've had maybe three or four big arguments."

Asked whether she had ever experienced a lull in the relationship, Han said marriage and dating feel different to her. "Rather than a lull, I think marriage just changes in temperature," she said. "After marriage, things become more comfortable — you can lean on each other and know the other person will always be there. That's what makes it different."

Han and Yeon are in their 21st year of marriage and have a son and a daughter.
