K-drama fans woke up to a sweet surprise on August 25 — The Tale of Nokdu star Jang Dong Yoon is tying the knot. The actor broke the news himself, choosing the most personal route possible: a handwritten letter posted straight to his Instagram.
What Jang Dong Yoon Said
In his note, Jang Dong Yoon shared that he’ll be marrying someone he has “been with for a long time” this coming October. He described a quiet ceremony in the form of a worship service, with both families gathered, and spoke warmly about choosing to build a life with someone he has come to understand and cherish over time. He closed by thanking fans for their long-standing support and asking them to embrace the news with warm hearts.
It’s the kind of announcement K-drama fans have grown used to from Korean stars — intimate, understated, and delivered directly rather than through a press release first.
Who Is the Bride-To-Be
Reports from Korean outlets identify his fiancée as actress Kim Seung Yoon, who made her debut in The Tale of Nokdu — the very drama that first paired her with Jang Dong Yoon back in 2019. Their connection deepened off-screen too: Kim Seung Yoon later starred in Please Be My Ear and The Yeast, both directed by Jang Dong Yoon himself.

A Love Story Years in the Making
Jang Dong Yoon and Kim Seung Yoon’s bond traces back to their on-screen chemistry in The Tale of Nokdu, a hit KBS2 period rom-com. Per its Wikipedia entry, the series starred Jang Dong Yoon alongside Kim So-hyun, Kang Tae-oh, and Jung Joon-ho, and aired for 32 episodes in late 2019. What began as a co-starring role for Kim Seung Yoon evidently grew into something lasting, culminating in Jang Dong Yoon casting her as his lead actress when he later stepped behind the camera as a director.
Jang Dong Yoon’s agency, BH Entertainment, confirmed the couple will hold a quiet October ceremony with immediate family present — a low-key approach that mirrors how several other K-drama stars have handled their own marriage announcements this year.
Fans React With Warmth
The comment sections under his Instagram post filled up quickly with congratulations, a common scene whenever a beloved actor shares major personal news. It’s a pattern K-drama watchers have seen play out again and again — for more on how Korean stars have announced their own engagements recently, check out our coverage of Yoon Park’s surprise marriage reveal and the ongoing curiosity around K-drama stars’ private lives.
