The bells will be ringing for one of K-pop’s original heartthrobs. Ok Taecyeon, the beloved idol-turned-actor from the iconic group 2PM, is officially tying the knot. The surprise announcement confirmed that he will marry his long-term girlfriend in a private ceremony next spring, finally putting an end to months of speculation. His agency, 51K, released a statement confirming the lifelong commitment he has made to his partner, with whom he first went public back in 2020, according to a report by MK Sports.
A proposal in Paris
The whispers of wedding bells began earlier this year, fueled by a romantic scene straight out of a movie. Eagle-eyed fans spotted Taecyeon in Paris, the city of love, in what appeared to be a grand gesture. He was seen kneeling and presenting a ring to his girlfriend, immediately igniting engagement rumors that spread like wildfire across online communities. While his agency remained tight-lipped at the time, the romantic sighting was a clear sign that the star was ready for the next chapter of his life, away from the prying eyes of the public.
A private affair for a public figure
In a move to protect his partner’s privacy, the couple has opted for an intimate celebration. The wedding will be held at a private location in Seoul, attended only by close friends and family. The decision underscores the fact that his fiancee is not a celebrity, a detail the agency has asked fans to respect by refraining from revealing further information. This secrecy only adds to the public’s curiosity about the woman who has captured the star’s heart, but it also reflects Taecyeon’s desire to shield his personal life from the spotlight.
What’s next for the actor-idol?
Fans worried about his career can breathe a sigh of relief. Following his marriage, Taecyeon has no plans of slowing down. 51K assured the public that he will continue to pursue “good projects and a wide variety of activities,” building on his successful transition from a ‘beast-dol’ to a respected actor. His commitment to his craft remains as strong as ever, promising more exciting roles like his recent part in the drama ‘The First Night with the Duke’.
