The South Korean entertainment industry welcomed a surprising new celebrity couple when actor Kwak Si Yang and Lovelyz member turned actress Yoo Jiae announced their plans to marry.
On September 3, 2026, media outlets reported that the couple had been quietly dating for approximately one year away from the public eye.
Shortly after the initial reports emerged, Kwak Si Yang’s agency, 9Ato Entertainment, and Yoo Jiae’s agency, KPLUS, simultaneously confirmed the exciting news, revealing that the pair will tie the knot in a private ceremony on November 28, 2026.
In an official public statement addressing the marriage plans, 9Ato Entertainment shared,
“Actor Kwak Si Yang will be holding a wedding ceremony this coming November with singer and actress Yoo Jiae.
The two have promised to share their future together based on deep trust and love for one another.”
The agency added that out of respect for both families, the wedding will take place privately in Seoul, attended strictly by close relatives, family members, and personal acquaintances.
Handwritten Letters and Sincere Messages to Fans
Because the couple had kept their relationship entirely private without any prior public dating rumors, both stars took to their personal social media accounts to post heartfelt, handwritten letters to reassure their fans.
Kwak Si Yang expressed his deep gratitude to his supporters, writing,
“I’ve found someone precious with whom I want to spend the rest of my life.
Based on our trust and love for each other, we have promised to walk through the rest of our lives together.”
He assured followers that establishing a family would motivate him to become a more mature individual while continuing his active work as an actor.
Yoo Jiae similarly addressed her long-time fan base, acknowledging that the sudden wedding news might come as a surprise.
Reassuring those who have supported her career since her idol days, she wrote,
“I have met someone who cares about me and supports me, and someone I want to spend my future with.
We have promised to start a new journey together.”
She expressed a heavy heart that fans had to learn the news through media reports first, but asked her followers to warmly celebrate their new beginning while promising to remain dedicated to her career.
Celebrating Active Careers and New Beginnings
Born in 1987, Kwak Si Yang made his screen acting debut in the 2014 film Night Flight and subsequently built an impressive filmography through popular series such as Oh My Ghost, Lovers of the Red Sky, Flex X Cop, and Good Partner.
He is set to remain actively engaged in his acting projects, including starring in the upcoming television drama Other Than Romance.
Yoo Jiae, born in 1993, made her debut in 2014 as a member of the beloved K-pop girl group Lovelyz, gaining widespread recognition with hit singles like “Ah-Choo” and “Destiny”.
Following the completion of her group promotions, she successfully transitioned into acting, building her portfolio through roles in dramas such as The Third Marriage.
As the couple prepares for their private November 28 ceremony, fans and industry colleagues continue to send warm congratulations for their future together.
