Actor Choi Yeo-jin has overcome various rumors and tied the knot with her 7-year-older partner.
Choi Yeo-jin held her wedding ceremony with sports entrepreneur Kim Jae-wook on the 1st in Gapyeong, Gyeonggi Province. The day before the wedding, Choi Yeo-jin excitedly posted on social media, "Are you ready? D-1" along with wedding photos. The couple, who had already completed their marriage registration, took their first step as a married couple with a meaningful outdoor wedding.
Earlier, Choi Yeo-jin appeared on MBC's "Radio Star" and candidly shared her romance story with her fiancé, along with the various rumors that arose after the marriage announcement. She noted, "There were stories that grew too large to just laugh off," and addressed the rumors of infidelity, wealth status, and cult allegations directly.
Regarding the infidelity rumors, she stated, "Learning water sports with my husband and appearing together on entertainment shows led to misunderstandings," and she expressed her frustration over allegations mentioned during a past broadcast of tvN's "On and Off" where her husband appeared with his ex-wife. She directly refuted accusations concerning matching couple outfits and sunglasses, declaring them "completely unfounded."
Notably, on SBS's "Same Bed, Different Dreams 2," Kim Jae-wook's ex-wife appeared via video call and stated, "I am a witness. If it's not me, why is there so much talk?" effectively countering the rumors. In response, Choi Yeo-jin expressed, "The person I feel most sorry for is the ex-wife. She is someone who is reluctant to be exposed, and my heart hurt to see her mentioned unnecessarily. I am very grateful and sorry."
She continued, "I mentioned in an entertainment program that 'I take good care of him like mom and dad,' but they even connected that to cult markings," revealing her astonishment at the speculation. When rumors spread that her husband's business site name, 'Eden,' was related to religion, the legal team of the corresponding foundation even requested clarification. Choi Yeo-jin said, "As things grew bigger, I also felt that further explanations were pointless. But in the end, the truth will come out," expressing her conviction.
After overcoming many rumors and speculation, Choi Yeo-jin finally completed her wedding ceremony. Many blessed the couple as they embarked on their journey as a married couple.
Meanwhile, Choi Yeo-jin debuted through the 2001 Supermodel Selection Contest and has been active in various works starting with the drama "I'm Sorry, I Love You," as well as in productions like "Surgeon Bong Dal-hee," "Vogue Mom," and "Miss Monte Cristo."
