The Wedding and love of two people

Don Lee and Yeong-hwa Jeong began their relationship publicly in 2016. The two met as seniors and juniors at the same agency, were impressed by each other, and began to become close after that.

In 2021, Don Lee and Jeong-hwa Ye registered their marriage and became legally married. Their marriage seemed to place more importance on promises and trust to each other than a fancy wedding, and as the corona virus pandemic made it difficult to hold a wedding, they only registered their marriage without holding a wedding.

Three years later, in 2024, Don Lee and Jeong-hwa Ye finally got married. The agency Big Punch Entertainment announced on the 8th that Don Lee and Yeong-hwa Ye will get married in Seoul sometime next month.
