Bang Min-ah, Ham Eun-jung, and Ok Taecyeon have joined a broader wave of marriages among 2nd-generation idols. On the 1st, the outlet 51K announced that Ok Taecyeon had decided to spend his life with a longtime partner, confirming the couple’s plans to wed next spring in Seoul with only family, close relatives, and a small circle of close friends in attendance. The ceremony is to be private, given that the spouse is a non-celebrity.

Ok Taecyeon also shared the news in a handwritten letter on his social media, expressing gratitude and confirming his lifelong commitment to the person who has long supported him: “I promise to spend my life with one who has believed in me for a long time.” He had previously acknowledged dating a non-celebrity girlfriend in 2020.

The broader entertainment scene has seen a string of marriages among 2nd-generation idols. This year, Tiara’s Hyomin tied the knot, and Sojin of Girl’s Day, along with Eun-jung from Tiara, also announced marriage, signaling a continuing trend within the generation.
