Actor Ha Jung-woo has confirmed his romantic relationship with actress Cha Jung-won, who is 11 years his junior, drawing renewed attention to his past remarks about plans for having children. Ha Jung-woo appeared on the channel 'E' last year and spoke about his father Kim Yong-gun's late fatherhood. Kim Yong-gun made headlines for becoming a father at the age of 75. Ha Jung-woo said, "He maintains incredible youth and energy, which I think is the strength behind having a late child."

While considering his father's late fatherhood a blessing, Ha Jung-woo also admitted, "On the other hand, I felt pressure. It comes down to 'So what are you going to do?'" He also mentioned the news of his younger brother Cha Young-hoon, who married actress Hwang Bo-ra, having a son, laughing, "It's the atmosphere of having children. Now I'm the only one left to have one."

Regarding his plans for children, Ha Jung-woo revealed, "I want three sons and three daughters or two sons and two daughters." He added, "If they just give me that, I'm confident I'll take good care of them. Once I get married, I plan to have children right away." These remarks have come back into the spotlight as Ha Jung-woo confirmed his relationship with Cha Jung-won.
