Lee Jang-woo and Cho Hye-won Tie the Knot After 8 Years; Honeymoon Postponed to Next Year

Actor Lee Jang-woo and actress Cho Hye-won are officially tying the knot today, May 23rd, after an eight-year relationship.

The couple will hold their private wedding ceremony at a hotel in Songpa-gu, Seoul. Following the ceremony, they have decided to forgo their honeymoon this year, opting instead to focus on their respective careers and enjoy their newlywed life until the end of the year. Their much-anticipated honeymoon is expected to take place in the first half of next year or later.

The wedding is set to be a star-studded affair, with close friend Jun Hyun-moo officiating and Kian84 serving as the MC. Singer Hwang Woo-jin from Fly to the Sky, who is also Lee Jang-woo's cousin, will be serenading the couple with a congratulatory song. Many cast members from the popular MBC variety show 'I Live Alone,' including Park Na-rae, Key, Code Kunst, Lee Ju-seung, and Gu Sung-hwan, are expected to attend, showcasing their strong friendships. The event is anticipated to host approximately 1,000 guests, highlighting Lee Jang-woo's extensive network.

Lee Jang-woo (40) and Cho Hye-won (32), who share an 8-year age gap, first developed their relationship after starring together in the 2018 KBS 2TV weekend drama 'My Only One.' After postponing their wedding once last year, they are finally making their lifelong commitment.

Ahead of the wedding, Lee Jang-woo shared his excitement, stating, 'Cho Hye-won and I are so compatible. In our 8 years together, we've never fought once. I used to be quite argumentative in relationships, so it's fascinating that we've never fought.' He also revealed his aspirations for starting a family, confessing, 'Having children is the biggest reason for getting married. I really want to have a baby, and as many as possible. I have a simple dream of eating meals together, me cutting the food for them and saying, 'Isn't this delicious?''

Netizens have flooded social media with congratulatory messages, commenting, 'They look so good together! Congratulations on your wedding!' and 'An 8-year relationship feels like destiny! Wishing them a lifetime of happiness!' Others remarked, 'It's heartwarming to see the 'I Live Alone' cast showing such loyalty. Congratulations to the happy couple!'
