Actor Ahn Jae Hyun was recently featured in an interview with The New York Times (NYT). Ahn, who married actress Goo Hye Sun in 2016, ended his newlywed life with their divorce in 2020.

According to HB Entertainment on February 20, The New York Times published Ahn's interview on January 26 (local time) under the headline, "A Korean Star Is Growing His Jewelry Line." The interview, accompanied by photos, delves into his journey as an entrepreneur in the jewelry industry.

During the interview, Ahn explained his motivation for entering the fashion industry. "A model’s career is short-lived, but I wanted to continue working in fashion, so I started my jewelry business," he stated. He also shared insights into his jewelry collection, which is inspired by flowers. "I was drawn to the idea of people gifting flowers to their loved ones as a moment of happiness. Since I also love flowers, I wanted to create accessories that embody the beauty of flowers without wilting."

Journalist Kathleen Beckett, who conducted the interview, praised Ahn’s outlook and creativity. "Ahn Jae Hyun is not only engaged in various activities but also possesses a forward-thinking and unique perspective. This interview highlights him as a contemplative and reflective individual who seeks the essence of life and ponders what a meaningful existence entails."

In addition to his business endeavors, Ahn has remained active in the entertainment industry. Last year, he made notable appearances on MBC’s 'I Live Alone,' JTBC’s 'Last Love,' and the web variety show '1000/50.' More recently, he has been actively participating in tvN’s 'Handsome Guys.'
