Handam Bi got married to former national speed skating team member Lee Kyoo-hyuk at a hotel in Hannam-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul, in May 2022.
KBS N Sports announcer Lee Dong-keun officiated the ceremony, and the singers Psy, Jo Kwon, and Lim Seul-ong performed.
The bouquet was received by model Kang Seung-hyun, and it was reported that Seo Jang-hoon, Kim Ho-young, So Yi-hyun, In Gyo-jin, Kim Woo-ri, Baek Ji-young, An Young-mi, Park Na-rae, Lim Soo-hyang, Lee Joo-yeon, Kim Heung-guk, Shin Ae, and Kim Ki-ri attended.
While the wedding should have been filled only with congratulations and blessings, the absence of Handam Bi's entertainment industry friends Gong Hyo-jin, Jung Ryeo-won, Lim Soo-mi, and So Yi sparked rumors of 'cutting ties.' These individuals became close while collaborating on various dramas, representing close friends in the entertainment industry. However, they not only did not attend the wedding but also avoided mentioning Handam Bi's marriage on social media. Handam Bi expressed her gratitude by leaving comments on the social media posts of those who attended the wedding.
Earlier, speculation emerged that their relationship had soured due to the 'fake fisheries incident.' Lee Kyoo-hyuk provided significant support to Handam Bi, who was struggling due to this incident, and this led to their marriage. However, the friendship with her close friends became strained, and the confirmation of their absence from the wedding shifted the public sentiment from speculation of cutting ties to certainty.
Regarding the rumors of cutting ties, Handam Bi indirectly expressed her feelings in response to a fan's comment saying, 'I hope you won't be hurt by what others say,' by replying, 'Thank you so much. It's exactly how I feel.' However, her absence from Gong Hyo-jin's subsequent wedding, where her close friends attended, added weight to the rumors of cutting ties.
In December of that year, while preparing for a flea market, Handam Bi put up for sale the clothes she bought with her 'close friend' Jung Ryeo-won. She described the jacket as 'something I bought myself while visiting Dongmyo,' referring to the jacket they purchased together while appearing on MBC's 'I Live Alone,' as they set a dress code and held a concept party with friends. Handam Bi said, 'I want to send it off with memories.'
Handam Bi has grown distant from her close friends. Recently, through her YouTube channel, she once again indirectly acknowledged this. In a video titled 'Light and Shadow, Camellia Flower Blossom, Handam Bi's Acting Life,' she stated, 'Actually, in a way, I should be the most unhappy since I am not working at all. But that thought has completely changed. The most significant change has been in human relationships and my personality.'
Handam Bi said, 'I really worry a lot and am timid. But I think I've changed quite a bit since getting married. Nowadays, while taking breaks, I've realized that I should not rush and wait for the right moment. Life is truly unpredictable, but it feels like I can still look forward to a good life,' conveying her changed situation since marriage.
Meanwhile, Handam Bi is expected to give birth in April.
