Actress the late Choi Jin-sil's daughter Choi Joon-hee has been swept up in wedding rumors for May, drawing intense interest in her older boyfriend, toward whom she has openly shown affection.
On the 15th, one outlet reported that Choi Joon-hee will hold her wedding on May 16 at a hotel in Gangnam, Seoul. According to the report, Choi Joon-hee's prospective groom is a company employee 11 years her senior with whom she has been dating for five years, and they have promised a lifetime together after building long-standing trust and affection.
In fact, Choi Joon-hee has been publicly dating for some time, regularly posting couple photos with her older boyfriend. In 2022, cohabitation rumors flared once, but she said, "It's not cohabitation; when he's on break he comes down and stays at my house," and added, "My boyfriend is a working adult. We're in a long-distance relationship between Seoul and Busan."
In particular, in 2024 she posted wedding-snap photos seemingly celebrating 1,000 days together with the caption "1000+" and wrote, "We fight and love every day. I like that oppa is older. While I get wrinkles, oppa will grow old and his eyes will get blurry, so he'll treat me like a princess for life~" A netizen then asked, "Are you getting married soon? Or engaged?" and Choi Joon-hee left the enigmatic reply, "No comment."
Choi Joon-hee has also expressed affection by calling her boyfriend "The Man from Nowhere." In January last year she posted proof pictures from a trip to New York with her boyfriend and wrote, "Looks great. With ajossi (The Man from Nowhere) and Jun-hee," and in response to a netizen asking, "Will you invite me to the wedding?" she left a comment saying, "Please give 2747382617294722 won as a congratulatory gift." Later, when an argument broke out during a date, she posted a photo of her boyfriend with the playful hashtag "Ajossi, calm down."
However, controversy has arisen in some quarters because it is presumed that Choi Joon-hee has been dating her current boyfriend since she was a minor. Born on March 2003, Choi Joon-hee is currently 22. If, as reported, they dated for about five years, she would have been 17 when she started dating the boyfriend 11 years her senior, meaning he would have been 28 at the time.
Despite these concerns, it is reported that Choi Joon-hee is preparing for marriage with strong support from those around her. Last August, Choi Joon-hee reportedly met Hong Jin Kyung, a close friend of the late Choi Jin-sil, and received permission to date her boyfriend. At that time she posted a photo including her boyfriend, her older brother Choi Hwan-hee and his girlfriend, saying, "We asked auntie for permission for our respective partners."
