Koo Kyo-hwan, the actor, and Lee Ok-seop, the director, have been secretly married for four years. Despite being widely recognized as one of the most enduring couples in the Korean film industry, they remained unmarried until recently. In 2022, they legally married after registering their union. This revelation has surprised many, as they had consistently been described as a longtime couple rather than a married one.
Koo and Lee's relationship began in 2013, and they publicly acknowledged it in 2020. However, they only registered their marriage in private two years later, without any public announcement. Following their marriage, the couple chose not to hold a separate wedding ceremony and has no plans to do so in the future, according to sources.
Koo and Lee's bond extends beyond their personal lives. Both attended the Seoul Institute of the Arts and have collaborated on numerous projects in Korea's independent film scene. Together, they have worked on films such as "A Dangerous Woman," "Love Docu," "Fly to the Sky," and "Maggie." Additionally, they co-manage the production company 2X9HD.
