South Korean actor Jang Dong-yoon announces he will marry actor Kim Seung-yoon in October. In a message posted on social media, Jang shares the news in a handwritten letter, saying he has been with Kim “for a long time” and that they plan to build a life together.

Both outlets describe the couple’s relationship as private and long-running, with the announcement coming as a surprise to fans. Jang says they are considering a quiet Christian wedding attended by their families, and he thanks followers for their support. The reports also note how the two met through their work: Jang directed and Kim acted in the 2023 short film “Please Be My Ear,” marking their first collaboration as director and actor.

The Times of India frames the announcement as an intimate, family-only event and highlights the couple’s shared happiness. The Korea Times adds additional detail from the letter, including Jang’s reasons for making the decision and his reference to the couple “cherishing” one another through time.
