Kim Go Eun helped reveal the news.
Actress Kim Yong Ji has surprised fans after it was revealed that she quietly got married without any prior public dating rumors or wedding announcement.
On October 11, news of the actress’s marriage emerged after fellow celebrities Kim Go Eun and Bae Jung Nam shared glimpses of her wedding ceremony on social media.
The unexpected revelation attracted attention, particularly because Kim Yong Ji had never publicly announced that she was in a relationship, let alone preparing to walk down the aisle.
Actor and model Bae Jung Nam was among the first to share photos from the celebration. Taking to his Instagram account, he congratulated the newlywed actress with a short but affectionate congratulations. The photos showed Kim Yong Ji standing alongside her husband against the backdrop of a beautiful traditional Korean hanok.
The actress wore an elegant ivory wedding gown with an off-the-shoulder design, holding a striking red bouquet as she smiled beside her groom. Her husband, meanwhile, wore a dark-colored suit for the occasion.
Although the wedding photos offered fans their first glimpse of Kim Yong Ji’s husband, further details about him, including his name and profession, have not been publicly disclosed. The wedding venue also attracted attention for its distinctive atmosphere.
Rather than choosing a conventional luxury hotel wedding hall, the couple held their ceremony at a traditional Korean hanok, surrounded by tiled rooftops, wooden architecture, and elegant autumn-inspired floral arrangements.
The picturesque setting created a romantic atmosphere that complemented Kim Yong Ji’s understated bridal styling. Another notable guest was actress Kim Go Eun, who also shared moments from the wedding and publicly celebrated her longtime friend’s marriage. Kim Go Eun and Kim Yong Ji are known to have maintained a close friendship since their time at the Korea National University of Arts, where they were also acquainted with actor Lee Sang Yi.
Their friendship has continued throughout their respective acting careers, making Kim Go Eun’s presence at the ceremony particularly meaningful.
Kim Yong Ji first gained recognition through her appearances in popular Korean dramas, establishing herself with her distinctive visuals and memorable supporting roles. She appeared in the hit tvN drama Mr. Sunshine, followed by The King: Eternal Monarch and Tale of the Nine Tailed.
With no widely reported dating rumors or advance marriage announcement, the sudden appearance of wedding photos came as a surprise.
