Actor Cha Jeong-won (36) is reported to have dated Ha Jung-woo (47) for a long time with marriage in mind, and attention is focused on whether Ha Jung-woo's father, Kim Yong-gun (79), will be able to welcome another actress daughter-in-law.
On the 4th, Ha Jung-woo's agency Walkhouse Company issued an official statement saying, "They are dating, but marriage has not been confirmed. Whether it will be in the summer is also undecided." After news that the girlfriend was actress Cha Jeong-won surfaced, Cha Jeong-won's agency Saram Entertainment also issued an official statement saying, "Actress Cha Jeong-won is currently dating actor Ha Jung-woo. However, the marriage rumors are groundless."
Both sides acknowledged that they are dating with good feelings but drew a cautious line regarding marriage plans. The two are understood to have been dating for a long time. Considering past rumors that centered on SNS, it is estimated that the dating period has lasted at least eight to nine years.
As marriage rumors about the two surfaced, attention is focused on whether Ha Jung-woo's father, Kim Yong-gun, will once again welcome an actress daughter-in-law. Earlier, in 2022, Kim Yong-gun's second son Kim Young-hoon married actress Hwang Bo-ra after 10 years of dating, drawing attention as a representative actor family in the entertainment industry. Kim Young-hoon formerly acted as an actor and now runs an entertainment agency. His wife Hwang Bo-ra and his elder brother Ha Jung-woo are signed to that agency.
In this situation, if Cha Jeong-won marries Ha Jung-woo, most family members would have acting experience. However, when Ha Jung-woo's marriage rumors surfaced, Kim Yong-gun told OSEN, "Not yet. He is not getting married."
Kim Yong-gun corrected the reports, saying, "When I was first contacted about the article I said, 'This is something I don't know about. If it is something to celebrate, I am grateful,' but it was published as if I had acknowledged Ha Jung-woo's marriage," and added with a smile, "If there is news of my son's marriage, I will announce it myself."
Born in 1978, Ha Jung-woo debuted in 2002 and received much love through films such as The Chaser, The Yellow Sea, Berlin, Assassination, Tunnel, and the Along with the Gods series. Since 2013 he has also participated in directing and producing, releasing films such as Rollercoaster, Aegis, Single Rider, PMC: The Bunker, Ashfall, Closet, Rebound, Lobby, and Neighbors Above.
Born in 1989, Cha Jeong-won debuted in 2012 with the film Horror Stories and has built a filmography by appearing in numerous works including dramas Please, Mom, She Was Pretty, While You Were Sleeping, Lawless Lawyer, Special Labor Supervisor Jo Jang-poong, Extraordinary!
