Musical actor Yoon Seung-woo announced his surprise marriage to a partner with whom he had nurtured a relationship for 11 years, drawing congratulations from the theater community and internet users.
Yoon Seung-woo announced the marriage on the 21st by posting a handwritten letter he wrote on his personal social media.
Coincidentally celebrating his birthday that day, he expressed gratitude for the surrounding congratulations and said, "Many people have congratulated me on my birthday, so I begin the day feeling very happy and grateful," he began. He continued, "And today I have something I want to tell you, so I am leaving this message," adding, "In 2015, in the hot summer when I was 26, I met one person and now I intend to promise a lifetime with that person," he said, surprisingly announcing his marriage to the girlfriend he had dated for 11 years.
Yoon Seung-woo expressed deep affection, saying, "We met when everything was clumsy and lacking, and we filled each other's gaps, laughed together and grew together. Looking back, even in the most brilliant moments and in ordinary days when nothing happened, we always stayed by each other's side. In fact, I am still a person with many shortcomings. Nevertheless, thanks to the person who always stayed by my side and loved me as I am, I was able to become a slightly better person. Above all, spending time with that person made me laugh a lot and made me very happy," which added a touching note.
He also said, "I have always said that I cannot talk about my work without mentioning the word 'love.' Looking back, my life was also filled with time spent loving and building a life with one person. In the future, I want to continue to wrestle more with the stages I love, express more sincerely and live diligently," adding, "As a husband to one person and as an actor who loves the stage, I will become a stronger person." Colleagues congratulated Yoon Seung-woo on his confession. Senior actor Kim Sooro, who presents works in Daehangno, left a comment saying, "Congratulations, Seung-woo," and Anupam Tripathi, the Indian actor who became known for the Netflix original series Squid Game Season, also congratulated Yoon Seung-woo on his marriage, saying, "Congratulations brother."
