Actor Byun Yo-han and Girls' Generation alum Tiffany Young are reportedly dating with marriage in mind, and it has come to light that they had been signaling their relationship even before acknowledging it publicly.
On the 13th, Byun Yo-han's agency Team Hope issued an official statement saying, "(Byun Yo-han and Tiffany) are currently dating seriously with marriage in mind."
That day, one media outlet reported that the two are planning to hold their wedding next fall. According to the report, the two became a couple after the Disney+ original Uncle SamSik, released in May last year, and will bear the fruits of their love after about a year and a half.
Meanwhile, it was later revealed that Byun Yo-han and Tiffany's relationship had been openly known among fans. An overseas fan had been posting since May this year suspecting the two were dating. The fan claimed to have captured Tiffany taking a photo of Byun Yo-han in a picture posted on Byun Yo-han's Instagram and argued that a verification shot of Byun Yo-han taken in a foreign car was also taken in Tiffany's Porsche.
In addition, the fan drew attention by revealing various "couple items" of the two and showing that they wore matching couple rings of the same design in both public and private settings.
Checking actual news photos, Tiffany suddenly began wearing a ring on her right ring finger starting with a photo wall event in March this year. The change was especially noticeable because Tiffany did not usually wear rings. She appeared on stage at the photo wall event, at the screening of the film Pretty Crazy in which YoonA appeared, and at the 2025 Gangnam Festival Yeongdong-daero K-pop concert wearing a couple ring on her right ring finger.
The ring also appeared without fail in candid photos posted on Instagram. In birthday party photos with Girls' Generation members and in sponsored advertisement photos, Tiffany wore the same design ring on her right ring finger.
Byun Yo-han also drew attention by appearing wearing a ring of a design similar to Tiffany's at the October press screening of the film Junggankye, following the photo wall event held in March this year. Because he had long worn rings given to him by fans, the change in ring design was noticeable.
This change could also be seen in everyday posts on Instagram. Until as recently as January this year, he had worn a cherished ring he said "fans gave him as a birthday gift," but from February that place was taken by a couple ring. Like Tiffany, Byun Yo-han was seen never taking off his ring even when meeting acquaintances or taking advertisement photos.
Spotted by fans' "eagle eyes" and arousing suspicion, Byun Yo-han and Tiffany eventually became an official couple by directly acknowledging, "We are dating with marriage in mind." Regarding next fall's wedding rumors, the agencies said, "There is no specific schedule confirmed yet, but both actors said they would like to be the first to let fans know the moment the plans are decided," and asked, "Please bless them with grace and love, praying for the two people's future."
Tiffany Young, born in 1989 (36), debuted as a member of Girls' Generation in 2007 and, beginning with her 2011 appearance in the musical Fame, has continued to be active as an actress in musicals such as Chicago and in dramas such as Reborn Rich and Uncle SamSik.
Byun Yo-han, born in 1986 (39), began his acting career in 2011 with the short film Saturday Duty and gained recognition in the independent film scene before becoming known to the public through the drama Misaeng. Since then, he has demonstrated solid acting skills in various works including Yukryongi Narsha, Mr. Sunshine, Uncle SamSik, Death to Snow White, the films Socialphobia, Will You Be There?, The Book of Fish, Hansan: Rising Dragon, and Following. His next project, the film Pavane, is set to open, and he is currently filming Tazza: Song of Belzebub.
