5th May actor Kwon Yul, who married in secret in May, has attracted attention as news spread that his wife is the biological younger sister of actress Hwang Seung-eon.
On the 9th, one media outlet reported that Kwon Yul's wife is Hwang Seung-eon's biological younger sister. However, Kwon Yul's agency took a cautious stance.
That day, Kwon Yul's agency Team Hope told OSEN, "Actor Kwon Yul's wife is a non-celebrity, and we ask for your understanding that it is difficult to confirm specific matters related to the family," in an official statement.
Earlier, Kwon Yul held a wedding in May at a church in Seoul. The ceremony was held privately out of consideration for the non-celebrity bride and both families. At the time, Kwon Yul's wedding was widely publicized with less than a week left before the ceremony.
Moreover, the woman identified as the wife appeared with her older sister Hwang Seung-eon on T-cast's Follow Me 7 in 2015, drawing attention. The sisters received attention on the show for posing together in a photo shoot and being praised for their "superior genes." In particular, the younger sister received high praise for resembling actress Yu Yeo-bi, attracting public attention at the time.
Kwon Yul is also well known as the nephew of veteran actress Choi Myung-gil. He debuted in 2007 in the drama 달려라 고등어 and proved his acting skills by portraying various characters in films such as Beasty Boys, Ingtoogi, The Admiral: Roaring Currents, Anarchist from Colony, and The Policeman's Lineage. He also built his filmography by appearing in significant works such as the drama Whispers, the Voice series, Dali and the Cocky Prince, Myeoneuragi, and Longing for You.
He also appeared on variety shows such as Omniscient Interfering View, Europe Outside the Tent, and Hidden Gourmet Road, where he was loved for his down-to-earth charm and candid wit. Thanks to a solid career as an actor and a friendly image, he has high public favorability, and his private life is receiving strong attention because of this marriage.
The rumor that the spouse is Hwang Seung-eon's biological sibling has not been confirmed. However, suspicions raised alongside Kwon Yul's sudden marriage news became a hot topic among fans, and the agency maintains a cautious stance, prioritizing the protection of the family's privacy.
