SEOUL – Tiffany Young, a Korean-American member of K-pop band Girls’ Generation, married South Korean actor Byun Yo-han on Feb 27, Byun’s agency Teamhope said.
The two legally registered their marriage “based on their deep trust and love for each other”, and wedding plans are still in the making, announced the agency.
“They are carefully considering a simple wedding ceremony in the form of a church service where they share their gratitude with family members,” it said. “As they start a new journey of life, they plan to remember the support and love sent to them until now and repay it by showing a more mature side of themselves.”
Since debuting in 2011, Byun, 39, has starred in various hit TV dramas and movies, including Misaeng: Incomplete Life (2014) and Mr Sunshine (2018).
Young, 36, rose to global fame as a member of Girls’ Generation. She ended her contract with SM Entertainment in 2017 and expanded her career with acting roles in Reborn Rich (2022) and Disney+’s Korean original series Uncle Samsik (2024).
The two reportedly became close while working together on Uncle Samsik and publicly disclosed their relationship on Dec 13, 2025. They both posted handwritten letters to their Instagram accounts on the same day announcing that they were in meaningful relationships.
In his letter, Byun described Young as “someone who makes me want to become a better person, someone whose smile gently warms my heart when I am tired – someone I truly love”.
Teamhope subsequently confirmed their relationship, stating that they were dating with the intention of marriage. THE KOREA HERALD/ASIA NEWS NETWORK
