Gong Hyo-jin and Kevin Oh Confirm Upcoming Marriage
On 17 August 2022, Gong Hyo-jin’s agency, Management SOOP, shared news of her upcoming wedding. This statement responds to sudden reports of the actress’ marriage plans in the USA.
In their statement, Management SOOP confirmed that Gong Hyo-jin plans to hold a private ceremony with her soon-to-be husband. The couple only plans to invite their close relatives and loved ones to the meaningful celebration.
On the other hand, Gong Hyo-jin’s agency chose not to disclose further information on the wedding date and venue. They then closed their statement by asking people to support the couple on their new days ahead.

Meanwhile, Kevin Oh confirmed his upcoming marriage with Gong Hyo-jin on his Instagram account. He posted about his nuptials on the same day that Management SOOP released their statement.
In his post, Kevin shared a picture of sheet music and screenshots of his statement about the wedding. With this post, fans surmised that the couple plans to hold their wedding in New York, Kevin Oh’s hometown.
Furthermore, his statement detailed his love for Gong Hyo-jin. He intended to write the post in English to further relay his personal feelings. However, he also provided a Korean translation in the following pictures.
The Couple Kept Their Relationship a Secret
On 1 April 2022, Korean outlets reported that decorated actress Gong Hyo-jin is dating singer Kevin Oh. The news followed reports of Hyo-jin catching the bouquet at the wedding of Son Ye-jin and Hyun Bin.
We believe that outlets added news of the couple’s relationship to emphasise the superstition of who catches the bouquet at weddings. Since Hyo-jin allegedly caught Ye-jin’s flowers, she’ll be holding her wedding soon.
True enough, Gong Hyo-jin and Kevin Oh finally confirmed their plans of tying the knot a few months after the rumours. Like Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin, the celeb couple plans to hold a private ceremony.
Before confirming the news of their relationship, Gong Hyo-jin and Kevin Oh were reported to have been dating for 2 years. Kevin subtly confirmed this in his statement about the wedding.
“Two years ago, I met a girl,” stated Kevin Oh.
He then continued his post by detailing his love for the beloved South Korean actress.
“In her, I’ve met my best friend for life, my soulmate, and soon, I’ll be able to call her my wife,” he added.
Finally, he mentioned that he and Hyo-jin plan to hold their wedding during the fall season in his hometown. This seemingly confirms reports that their wedding will be in October in New York, USA.
Fans Compiled Hints of Their Romance
Before they confirmed their relationship, fans of the couple noticed some hints of their romance. They later compiled the signs and believed the claims that Gong Hyo-Jin and Kevin Oh dated for 2 years beforehand.
Both Gong Hyo-Jin and Kevin Oh use their social media accounts to promote their projects. They also occasionally share small tidbits of their trips and hobbies.
On her Instagram story, Gong Hyo-jin once posted one of Kevin Oh’s songs. She also reportedly posted a picture of her then-boyfriend by mistake before deleting it.
Meanwhile, Kevin Oh always invited Gong Hyo-jin to his concerts. He also extended the invite to her friends to subtly hide their romance. However, reporters claimed that their close friends knew about the couple’s relationship since they started dating.
