65-Year-Old Actor Returns After 8-Year Hiatus, Unveiling His Young Spouse For The First Time
Kim Byung Se shocked fans by revealing his 15-year-younger wife on TV after a long hiatus.
The controversy began on the March 22, 2026 episode of SBS’s My Little Old Boy. The actor returned to Korean TV after 8 years, announcing he is married and showing his wife for the first time.
Known as the “Jang Dong Gun of senior actors,” Kim Byung Se was once a major bachelor icon. Nine years ago, he vanished from the public eye. Now, he’s back with a stunning life update.
He currently lives in the U.S. with his wife and flew back to Korea for this show. At the airport, fellow actors Im Won Hee and Kim Seung Soo greeted him with a banner:
“A Grand Welcome for the 60-Something Newlywed Groom.”
“This is my wife.”

Kim Byung Se said he met his wife through a mutual acquaintance during a 2018 U.S. trip. He fell hard, calling her aura “the aura of a fairy or an angel.” He quickly asked for her number.
Within three weeks, he returned to the States just to see her again. Less than 90 days after meeting, he proposed.
“If not now, then never.”
