Actors Jang Dong-yoon and Kim Seung-yoon to Marry in October
Actors Jang Dong-yoon and Kim Seung-yoon will marry in October in a small family wedding after years of private dating, according to BH Entertainment. The couple, who share a five-year age gap, first met when Jang directed Kim in his 2023 short film debut and subsequently cast her in his first feature film.
The Surprise Announcement and Private Romance
BH Entertainment announced that the actors would tie the knot in October during a small Christian ceremony attended only by family. The announcement caught fans off guard because the couple had maintained a strictly private relationship throughout their long courtship. To address his supporters directly, the 34-year-old Jang posted a handwritten letter on social media.
“We have spent a lot of time together, getting to know each other’s different sides,” Jang wrote. “As we have come to understand and care for each other more, we decided to be by each other’s side and build a fun and happy life together.” He added that he intends to remain focused on his professional career, promising to “continue working to show my best as an actor and to become a more mature person.”
Collaboration Behind the Camera and On Screen
The professional partnership between the two performers predates their public romance. Jang and Kim first crossed paths as director and actor on the 2023 short film “Please Be My Ear,” which marked Jang’s directorial debut. Kim subsequently took on the lead role in “The Yeast,” marking Jang’s feature-length directorial debut in April.
Their artistic trajectories run parallel in television and film. Jang first drew public attention in 2015 when news outlets reported on his intervention to nab a robbery suspect at a convenience store in Seoul. He transitioned to acting the following year in the web series “Game Development Girls” and built a resume featuring television dramas and films such as “School 2017,” “The Tale of Nokdu,” “Oasis,” “Daily Dose of Sunshine,” “Queen Mantis,” and “Beautiful Days.” Kim, 28, launched her acting career in 2019 by appearing alongside Jang in “The Tale of Nokdu” and later featured in the drama series “For Eagle Brothers” and director Hong Sang-soo’s film “In Water.”
Logistical Planning and Professional Industry Support
As the October wedding approaches, both actors continue to balance their personal milestones with established entertainment careers, transitioning from collaborative creative projects on indie sets to their upcoming life partnership.
