South Korean actor and singer Ok Taecyeon, a member of the popular K-pop group 2PM, will marry his non-celebrity girlfriend in a private ceremony this April. The announcement was made by his agency, 51K, on February 27, 2025, ending weeks of public speculation following media reports about the couple’s plans.
Agency Confirms Private Ceremony
51K released an official statement confirming the upcoming marriage. The agency requested the public’s understanding and warm blessings for the couple, who wish to keep the details of their wedding private. The statement emphasized that the ceremony would be held privately with only family and close friends in attendance, in accordance with the couple’s wishes.
The agency did not disclose the exact date or location of the wedding, nor did it provide specific information about Taecyeon’s fiancée, respecting her status as a private citizen outside the entertainment industry. This approach is consistent with common practice among Korean celebrities seeking to protect the privacy of their non-famous partners.
Background and Career of Ok Taecyeon
Ok Taecyeon, 36, debuted as a member of the boy band 2PM under JYP Entertainment in 2008. The group achieved significant domestic and international success with hits like “Again & Again” and “My House.” In recent years, Taecyeon has focused primarily on his acting career, earning critical acclaim for roles in television dramas such as “Vincenzo,” “The Game: Towards Zero,” and “Heartbeat.”
He is currently represented by 51K, an agency founded by actor and close colleague Ju Ji-hoon. Taecyeon completed his mandatory military service as an active-duty soldier in the Korean Army’s special forces unit, finishing his service in 2019.
Industry and Fan Reactions
News of the wedding has generated widespread congratulations from fans and industry colleagues across social media platforms. The public response has largely been supportive, with many expressing happiness for the star as he begins this new chapter in his personal life.
Entertainment analysts note that such personal announcements from high-profile idols often mark a significant moment in their careers, reflecting a shift in public perception and the artist’s own life priorities. The respectful handling of the announcement by his agency is seen as a model for managing celebrity news while safeguarding personal privacy.
Expected Next Steps and Professional Schedule
Following the wedding, Ok Taecyeon is expected to resume his professional activities without significant interruption. He has several projects reportedly in development, though no official announcements have been made regarding specific films or dramas slated for release immediately after his marriage.
The agency’s statement concluded by asking for continued support for Taecyeon’s future endeavors both as an artist and in his personal life. Industry observers anticipate that the actor will likely address his marriage publicly in a limited capacity after the ceremony, potentially through a formal letter or statement to his fan community.
