Actor Lee Jang-woo and Jo Hye-won are set to tie the knot on Nov. 23, with Jun Hyun-moo drawing attention as the officiant.
According to OSEN's coverage on the 21st, the couple has decided to hold a wedding ceremony after a long relationship and is preparing for the event at a location in Seoul.
In this regard, a representative from Lee Jang-woo's agency, Hunus Entertainment, also confirmed, "It is true that Lee Jang-woo and Jo Hye-won will have a wedding ceremony in November."
Lee Jang-woo and Jo Hye-won developed a relationship after co-starring in the KBS2 drama "My Only One" in 2019 and began dating publicly in June 2023.
The couple was also seen together, with Jo Hye-won visiting Lee Jang-woo's store to show her support, revealing their affection for each other. Having maintained a quiet yet deep relationship, the two have recently decided to marry and are preparing in earnest.
Lee Jang-woo has mentioned his thoughts on marriage several times through broadcasts. During the 2023 MBC Entertainment Awards, after winning the Best Award for "Home Alone," he jokingly said, "My girlfriend is working hard right now. I think we need to postpone the wedding a bit," and later hinted at getting married this fall through shows such as "Village Chief Lee Jang-woo" and "Jun Hyun-moo Plan 2."
In particular, during "Jun Hyun-moo Plan 2," he jokingly asked Jun Hyun-moo, "If you’re not the officiant, you should be the MC," to which Jun Hyun-moo replied, "I have never officiated before. I can sing at the wedding," raising more curiosity about the couple's wedding. People are also interested in whether Lee Jang-woo will actually appoint Jun Hyun-moo as the 'MC or officiant' for the ceremony.
Lee Jang-woo is set to appear on MBN's variety show "Do You Know Home Meal" in July and is actively participating in MBC's "Home Alone," where he is nicknamed 'Palm Oil Prince.' Due to the upcoming wedding, rumors of his departure from the show have also surfaced. In a trailer released on the 20th for "Home Alone," he bid an emotional farewell, stating, "It seems this is the last time for Palm Oil. I’m really sad and disappointed, but I’m sincerely grateful for the endless love that he has given me."
However, in relation to this, the production team stated through OSEN, "There has been no discussion about it," and confirmed that Lee Jang-woo is still scheduled to appear until the wedding. Furthermore, OSEN confirmed that the upcoming appearance in "Home Alone" will indeed be the last for the Palm Oil gathering, but he will not be leaving the show. Lee Jang-woo will continue to participate in "Home Alone" until his wedding.
Meanwhile, the wedding ceremony will be held privately with only family and close friends invited.
