Actress From Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo Announces Wedding Plans Two Years After Split With Actor
Kim Yu Ji is making headlines with her upcoming marriage announcement — bringing her past breakup with actor-turned-businessman Jung Joon back into the spotlight.
On February 13, 2026 (KST), Kim Yu Ji shared on Instagram that she will be a bride in May. She posted wedding photos showing her in a white gown and her fiancé in a tuxedo. Her bright smile and the groom’s strong build caught fans’ eyes.
“I’m becoming a May bride.
Yes… I’m getting married!
He’s someone who’s always fun and easy to be with, even if we’re together all week long. He’s stayed faithfully by my side, and he’s a warm and kind person who always takes my side first, no matter what.
After laughing together, enduring life together, and loving each other, I’ve decided to spend the rest of my life with the person who’s become my closest friend in the world.
People often say we look alike—and they say couples who resemble each other live well together, right? Just like that saying, we’ll live happily ever after

The new announcement revives attention on her former relationship with Jung Joon. The two had publicly dated after meeting on Taste of Love Season 3, a dating reality show that sparked buzz for their 13-year age gap.
In a 2024 interview with OSEN, Kim Yu Ji spoke about their breakup, which reportedly happened between late 2022 and early 2023.
“As we each focused on our own work, we naturally grew apart.”
“We didn’t break up on bad terms. We remain good senior and junior colleagues who support each other’s futures.”

Kim Yu Ji debuted in 2016 with a role in Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo. She’s currently prepping for new projects.
“I will work hard to see you all again in another good production.”
