Dad Crush Monday: Yeon Jung Hoon

By Samantha Jong
January 23, 2017

Actor Yeon Jung Hoon broke many men’s hearts when he married the impeccably gorgeous Han Ga In. The pair have been married for more than a decade and recently welcomed their little bub together.

With a relationship history that we have all heard before — meeting on set and falling in love before getting married — we thought it’d be time to learn more about Jung Hoon (also known as Jeff), who happens to be an excellent photographer and car enthusiast on top of it all.

He has since made it to Hollywood, starring alongside action superstar Jackie Chan, Chinese beauty Fan Bingbing, and actor Johnny Knoxville in Skiptrace, which was released in October 2016.

Back home, Jung Hoon, gave fans a treat with his latest Instagram post, announcing the upcoming production of Vampire Prosecutor The Movie. A bit of a backstory: Jung Hoon played the lead prosecutor in crime series Vampire Prosecutor and Vampire Prosecutor 2.

Judging by the comments left by fans, the announcement was a very welcome one.

When he’s not in front of the screen, Jung Hoon indulges in his passions, one of which is photography.

He was one of the lecturers for the Korean Air Travel Photo Contest back in 2015.

He also won first place in the ‘Innovative Sweden’ photo contest back in 2013 with his entry, ‘Full Moon’ where he shot Ga In as a subject. He won a trip to Sweden as well as the opportunity to participate in the Hasselblad Masters exhibition as well as the Innovative Sweden exhibition.

Of course, it’s no surprise that this man of many talents has a gallery of his own in Seoul.

The list of things he finds interesting never ceases to amaze us, such as learning about the inner workings of a Jaeger Le Couture watch.

He’s an avid collector of sneakers.

And of course, he is an absolute petrolhead! He hosted the first three seasons of Top Gear Korea and drives his dream car, a Ferrari 458 Spyder.

He is a fan of the original Top Gear, and must have been over the moon when he was chosen to be a host. Like most automobile and racing enthusiasts, he has a wide collection of helmets.

Which one for Shanghai??

However, we’re sure with the little princess (who they’ve adorably named Bolt after the Disney movie) around, there’s nothing more he’d like to do than lay in bed with her.

Judging from his images, Jung Hoon is clearly enamoured with his daughter. We can’t wait to see more pictures of this loving family in the near future.
