Korean Celebrity Marriage Announcements in 2025 That Left Fans Completely Surprised

1. Kim Jong Kook

Leading the list with 61% of the votes is Kim Jong Kook’s wedding news. For years, he carried the title of Korea’s most eligible bachelor, so when he revealed plans to marry a non-celebrity this year, fans were stunned. His private wedding with close family and friends in Seoul is already one of the most talked-about events of 2025.

2. Kim Seul Gi & HIGHLIGHT’s Yoon Doo Joon

In second place are actress Kim Seul Gi and idol Yoon Doo Joon, who surprised fans with their August 7 announcement. They shared wedding photos captioned: “Wedding D-10. We first met 10 years ago, and now we’re ready to walk the days ahead together.” With 10% of the votes, this idol-actress marriage quickly became a favorite story of the summer.

3. Irene

Supermodel Irene’s wedding announcement in January also made waves. She revealed her marriage to a non-celebrity, with the wedding taking place on May 23. Known for keeping her private life out of the spotlight, Irene still managed to draw attention with her elegant yet low-key celebration. Fans gave her 8% of the votes.

4. Ailee & Choi Si Hun

Coming in fourth are Ailee and Single’s Inferno star Choi Si Hun. Ailee revealed her marriage plans in late 2024, and the couple tied the knot in April this year. Their union — between a powerhouse soloist and a reality TV star — had fans talking for weeks. They scored 5% of the votes.

5. Girl’s Day’s Minah & On Ju Wan

Rounding out the list are Girl’s Day’s Minah and actor On Ju Wan. Their wedding is set for November, and the announcement in July caught fans completely by surprise. Even though they received just 4% of the votes, the pairing was still one of the year’s most unexpected pieces of news.
