In her personal life, Jae-Won has her beloved husband Heo Soon-young (Son Ho-jun) and their lovely child. Soon-young works as a freelancer designer and a professor in industrial design. He is a warm-hearted person who hardly ever bursts out in anger. After their marriage, Soon-Young prioritizes his family over everything else.
