Actor Jung Kyung-ho has recently garnered significant attention among fans for the ring on his left hand's ring finger disclosed during an interview. It holds a meaningful position that goes beyond a simple accessory. Speculation has emerged that he may be on the verge of marrying actress Choi Soo-young, with whom he has been publicly dating for 12 years.
During an interview aired on the YouTube channel "Now with Baek Ji-yeon" on Apr. 30, Jung Kyung-ho was spotted wearing a ring on his left hand's fourth finger while conversing with Baek Ji-yeon. The ring caught more attention as it resembled the character Kim Jun-wan he plays in the recently returned tvN drama "Someday, a Wise Medical Life."
Baek Ji-yeon was also curious about the ring. Upon seeing it, she asked, "Is that the ring?" In response, Jung Kyung-ho smiled and said, "It’s not the ring from the show. This is my personal ring." Fans responded with various opinions, saying things like, "If it's on that finger, it must mean something more," and "Could it be an impending marriage?" raising even engagement rumors.
Jung Kyung-ho jokingly said, "No one knows whose ring it is," but added, "In my gut, it's definitely Seulgi," naturally referencing the love line from the show. However, in reality, he has been quietly dating Choi Soo-young for 12 years, creating an atmosphere that links to the actual marriage rumors.
Netizens are expressing enthusiastic reactions, saying, "I hope they get married at this point," and "Such a lovely couple, I support them!"
The two became a representative long-standing couple in the entertainment industry after acknowledging their relationship in 2014, attending both domestic and international dates, as well as friends' plays and events together. Recently, they were spotted in a sweet moment at a theater.
Interest in the timing of their marriage has increased due to the recent ring controversy.
