On November 1, 51k released an official statement announcing Ok Taecyeon’s marriage, saying, “We would like to share the news of our actor Ok Taecyeon’s marriage. Actor Ok Taecyeon has promised to spend his life with someone he has been in a long-term relationship with.”
They added, “The wedding ceremony will be held in the spring of next year at a venue in Seoul, attended only by the families of the bride and groom and a few close relatives and friends. The event will be private and not open to the public. Since the bride is a non-celebrity, we ask for your understanding that we cannot disclose further details.”
The agency also stated, “After marriage, actor Ok Taecyeon will continue to meet the public through good projects and various activities. We ask for your continued love and support.”
On the same day, Ok Taecyeon posted a handwritten letter to his fans on his personal account, saying, “I have promised to share my life with someone who has understood and believed in me for a long time. We will support each other and walk together through our future lives.”
It is worth noting that Ok Taecyeon officially acknowledged his relationship with his non-celebrity girlfriend in 2020 (according to an exclusive report by Xportsnews). It is said that his girlfriend is four years younger than him and works an ordinary job outside the entertainment industry.
After 12 years since his debut, Ok Taecyeon started his first public relationship and was seen on quiet dates with his girlfriend in the Apgujeong area of Seoul.
Last February, marriage rumors spread after photos taken of the couple in Paris in front of the Eiffel Tower were leaked, showing Ok Taecyeon kneeling on one knee and presenting a ring to his smiling girlfriend.
At that time, 51K denied the rumors, saying:
“Those photos were taken to celebrate his girlfriend’s birthday, not a marriage proposal.”
The company that posted the photos later explained that they did not know Ok Taecyeon was a Korean star and published the photos without any ill intent, issuing an official apology.
Although the marriage rumors at that time were considered a minor incident, the news of his real marriage just nine months later has once again drawn huge attention. Many Korean netizens believe that Taecyeon deserves happiness after his calm career, writing:
- “Ok Taecyeon has the face of someone who’s been in a long-term relationship.”
- “Wasn’t she that pretty and sweet woman from the show where he looked for his first love? She was really beautiful ㅋㅋㅋ.”
- “Ok Taecyeon’s first love was really beautiful..”
- “I don’t know who she is, but she’s lucky ㅋㅋㅋ. Ok Taecyeon is truly the model husband and father!!!”
- “The fruit of a long love. Taecyeon, congratulations~”
- “As long as he doesn’t act like Kim Jongkook, claiming privacy while showing off.”
- “When I was in middle school, the popularity of 2PM and 2AM was insane. Even ‘We Got Married’ was super famous back then.”
- “Everyone knew this was coming soon ㅋㅋㅋ, congrats.”
- “I’m from the same generation, we grew up together. Despite all the rumors, he served diligently in the military and seems like a decent person. I think he’ll live a happy life after marriage! Be happy!”
- “Congratulations to this upright young man on his marriage.”
However, some fans believe it’s still too early for him to announce his marriage: “You’re still young, think carefully…” Another added, “Celebrities shouldn’t get married, they have fans!”
What do you think?
