Actor Jang Dong-yoon (34) is tying the knot with fellow actor Kim Seung-yoon (29), who is five years his junior.
On August 25, Jang's agency BH Entertainment announced, "Jang Dong-yoon and Kim Seung-yoon will get married this coming October."
The two have been in a long-term relationship, and their wedding will be held as a small private worship ceremony with only immediate family members in attendance.
Earlier that day, Jang posted a handwritten letter on his social media to share the news directly with his fans, writing, "This coming October, I am getting married to a person I have been with for a long time."
In the letter, Jang said, "I had a lot of thoughts and concerns before deciding to get married. Spending a lot of time together, we came to learn various sides of each other, which made us understand and cherish one another even more. We have decided to become each other's closest companion and live a fun and happy life together."
He added, "You might be surprised by the sudden news, but I would be grateful if you could watch over us with warm hearts. I will strive to show good sides as an actor in the future and live more maturely as an individual as well."
Jang first gained public attention in 2015 when he appeared on SBS News as a "handsome college student" who helped catch a convenience store robber in Seoul, and officially debuted as an actor the following year in the web drama "Women at a Game Company." Since then, he has starred in various works, including the dramas "The Tale of Nokdu," "Oasis," "Daily Dose of Sunshine," "Like Flowers in Sand," and "Mantis," as well as the films "Beautiful Days," "Run Boy Run," and "Project Wolf Hunting."
Kim Seung-yoon debuted in 2019 through "The Tale of Nokdu," in which Jang Dong-yoon played the lead role, and later appeared in "Please Take Care of the Five Eagle Brothers!" and director Hong Sang-soo's film "in water." Notably, Jang directed the 2019 short film "Be My Ears" and his first feature film "Nuruk" this year, with Kim starring in both projects.
