On August 23, Ryu was spotted enjoying a family outing at a large kids café inside Seoul’s Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP). Accompanied by his Slovakian painter wife and their 5-year-old daughter Naeli, the sight of the reclusive star in such a relaxed and joyful setting caught visitors by surprise.
Dressed in an all-black ensemble, Ryu’s signature charisma remained intact, but it was his family dynamic that truly stood out. His wife, admired for her model-like figure and elegant presence, also drew attention—while their daughter, described by onlookers as having “star DNA,” delighted fans with her bright and striking appearance.
Initially letting his wife lead the play session, Ryu soon jumped into action, energetically playing with his daughter to give his wife a well-deserved break. His warm smile and attentive demeanor created a heartwarming atmosphere at the café, with fans commenting on his “total daughter-lover” aura. He even took time to greet fans and pose for photos, reinforcing his approachable and grounded charm.
In a previous Coupang Play interview for his series Family Plan, Ryu spoke about how becoming a father changed his energy and priorities:
“My wife trusts me more than 100 percent. Because she’s such a great mother and partner, I can focus on my work.”
“In the past, my child lifted me up, but now she grounds me.”
He also revealed that he takes extra steps to shield his family from his darker roles:
“When I finish filming and I’m covered in blood makeup, I walk around to shake it off. I don’t want to bring that cold energy home.”
Ryu married his wife in 2020 after three years of dating. That same year, they welcomed their daughter Naeli—a name that means “love.” The family now splits their time between Korea and Slovakia, balancing his acting career with a quieter, more private family life.


Netizens were quick to react to the rare sighting:
- “He seems softer now that he’s with his family.”
- “That smile says it all—total daughter-lover.”
- “His wife’s beauty is unreal, and their daughter is so cute!”
- “They really look like a perfect match.”
While Ryu continues to impress viewers with roles in Disney+’s Moving and tvN’s You Quiz on the Block, fans are equally enchanted by the evolving chapters of his personal life—a real-life script of love, growth, and grounded joy.
