Do Sang-woo and Ji Hye Park Surprise Fans With Marriage Announcement: Why They’re Tying the Knot in February

A connection that began on the runway, now partners for life’s next chapter

Actor Do Sang-woo, 39, who has built a distinctive career spanning fashion and television, and world-renowned top model Ji Hye Park, 37, are set to marry after years of trust and companionship.

According to entertainment industry sources on the 6th, the couple will wed next February at a venue in Seoul. The private wedding will be held in a warm, intimate atmosphere, with only their families, relatives and a small group of close friends invited.

The two are said to have built a deep bond and affection through their shared experience as fashion models. During their long relationship, they supported each other and eventually decided to build a future together.

The groom, Do Sang-woo, entered the entertainment industry as a model in 2008 before making the transition to acting in 2011 with the tvN drama Flower Boy Ramen Shop. Known for his tall frame and steady voice, he has since demonstrated a wide acting range across genres in MBC’s My Daughter, Geum Sa-wol (2015), TV Chosun’s Selection: The War Between Women (2019), SBS’s Backstreet Rookie (2020) and tvN’s Alchemy of Souls: Light and Shadow (2022–2023). In Dear My Thief, which aired this year, he drew viewers’ attention with a compelling performance as a powerful villain.

The bride, Ji Hye Park, is a world-renowned top model representing South Korea. She burst onto the global scene in 2012 at New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2013, establishing herself internationally with runway appearances for leading luxury brands including Chanel, Louis Vuitton and Dior. In 2013, she earned praise from the global fashion community after being named one of New York magazine’s 10 up-and-coming models. She remains active in the industry, appearing on magazine covers and at major fashion shows.

Congratulations and support are pouring in from across the entertainment industry for the couple, who have each reached the top of their respective fields and are now embarking on a new chapter together.
