Actor Park Jin-joo announces marriage news…Did Hangout With Yoo tarot prediction come true? Fans cheer even amid pregnancy speculation
Actor Park Jin-joo announced she will marry a non-celebrity fiancé on Nov. 30, prompting a flood of congratulatory messages from fans. In particular, a past scene from Hangout With Yoo has been reexamined, leading to speculation that the relationship has lasted less than two years.
On the 20th, agency Prain TPC said in an official statement, "Actor Park Jin-joo has promised to spend her life together with someone she has built deep trust with over a long period," and added that the wedding will be a private ceremony in a location in Seoul with only family from both sides and close acquaintances invited.
Park Jin-joo stepped down alongside Lee Mi-joo from Hangout With Yoo in May. The production team previously said the departure was decided after discussions with cast and staff since the start of the year due to changes in the program. The marriage news, revealed about five months later, came as an unexpected joy to fans.
What draws attention is that Park Jin-joo herself revealed a marriage goal on a past broadcast. In a New Year special of Hangout With Yoo in January last year, Park Jin-joo said, "I hope to spend time with someone I love and get married in the new year," publicly sharing her marriage plans. In the tarot segment, the "card of lust," the "conception card" and the "proposal card" even appeared, and she was told that her marriage fortune was strongly indicated.
At the time Park Jin-joo laughed and responded, "We should all be careful," but with her actual wedding approaching about 1 year and 9 months later, fans reacted that "the tarot prediction came true." Furthermore, because she appeared not to have a boyfriend then, netizens speculated, "It seems the relationship has lasted less than two years."
Some netizens have gone as far as to predict a possible pregnancy and have sent messages of support. Social media was filled with posts cheering for the marriage and a happy family, such as "I hope the double celebration happens with the wedding," "Did the tarot predict it in advance? Congratulations," and "I look forward to Park Jin-joo continuing her activities after marriage; live happily."
Park Jin-joo had previously said her idea of dating and ideal type was "someone whose conversation code matches well." Now she has achieved the goal of marriage and is opening a new second act in her life. Fans sincerely support her future as she shines even more as an actor and at the new starting point in her life.
Meanwhile, Park Jin-joo plans to continue active work as an actor after her marriage. She is currently preparing for performances of the musical And the Number as Seong-ju, and she has experience as a regular member on Hangout With Yoo. Especially having appeared on variety shows as the "Juju Sisters" formed with Lee Mi-joo, a former member of the girl group Lovelyz, fans have high expectations to see her balance marriage, acting and variety appearances.
