Model-turned-actress Choi Yeo-jin (41) is getting married to a non-celebrity who is 7 years older.
According to the entertainment industry on the 24th, Choi Yeo-jin will appear with her boyfriend on the SBS variety show "Same Bed, Different Dreams 2: You Are My Destiny" airing on the 31st, revealing details about their marriage process.
The fiancé is a sports entrepreneur who is 7 years older, and he briefly appeared as a water ski coach during Choi Yeo-jin's daily life reveal on tvN's "On and Off" in 2020. At that time, Choi Yeo-jin spent 5 days a week in Gapyeong, Gyeonggi Province, where she helped out at the house of the water ski coach couple.
Choi Yeo-jin confessed her relationship on SBS's "Walking Shoes: Divorce Man" last August. She introduced her boyfriend by saying, "He is someone who runs a seasonal sports-oriented fitness business."
She continued, "We met while exercising and had been friends for a long time. (My boyfriend) has one previous marriage experience. He is a divorcee. At first, he wasn’t my type. His looks are completely different, and he is shorter than me. However, as we spent time together, I realized he is really great. He is my nice guy."
Earlier in January, they appeared together on comedian Kim Suk's YouTube channel. When another guest asked, "I heard he is rumored to be wealthy. They say he is the son of some group. I heard half of the land in Gapyeong belongs to him," Choi Yeo-jin replied, "(Debt) wealthy."
Choi Yeo-jin debuted in 2001 through the SBS Supermodel Contest and began her acting career with the KBS 2TV drama "I'm Sorry, I Love You" in 2004. Since 2021, she has been a regular cast member on the SBS soccer variety program "Goal Digger Girls."
