Actor and director Lee Yoo-jin (34) is tying the knot with actor Cha Kyung-eun (real name Kim Kyung-eun, 28) this November, joining the ranks of the married.

Lee's agency announced through an official statement on October 6, "Lee Yoo-jin will hold his wedding with actor Cha Kyung-eun at a location in Seoul on November 14." The wedding will be held privately, attended only by family members, relatives, and close acquaintances from both sides.

The two crossed paths through ENA's short-form drama "If You Can See the Road, Get Cast!", which marked Lee's debut as a director. Falling in love with Cha at first sight during the production preparation process, Lee actively pursued her after filming wrapped up by sincerely confessing his feelings. Cha reciprocated, and the couple has been dating with marriage in mind since June.

Having built firm confidence in each other, the couple shared their intentions with both families immediately after starting their relationship and received their blessing, swiftly reaching fruition through bold determination and drive.

Debuting in the 2013 MBC drama "Goddess of Fire", Lee Yoo-jin has starred in numerous works including "Age of Youth 2", "Familiar Wife", "Be Melodramatic", "Do You Like Brahms?", and "Three Bold Siblings". In May of this year, he finished as the runner-up on ENA's "Director's Arena", proving his capabilities as a director while also celebrating the joyous milestone of meeting his lifelong partner. Lee is also well-known as the son of veteran actor Lee Hyo-jung and the nephew of Lee Ki-young.

Bride-to-be Cha Kyung-eun debuted in the 2021 short film "Peach" and appeared in web dramas such as "Pick Go", U+ Mobile TV's "Future's Future", and sketch comedy series "Shortbox". She also gained public recognition as a fixed crew member on Coupang Play's "SNL Korea Reboot Season 7".

Following their marriage, the couple plans to continue their active careers as an actor and director in their respective fields.
