The marriage of popular South Korean actress Han Eun Jung, best known to many viewers for Full House, and her businessman husband has attracted considerable attention online in recent months. In May, the actress made headlines after announcing that she was expecting her first child at the age of 46, six years after getting married. She is expected to give birth later this month or in early October.
On the morning of September 22, Isplus reported that Han Eun Jung had unexpectedly received an extravagant gift shortly before welcoming her first child. An authorized dealer of global automobile brand BMW recently presented the actress with a BMW XM. The luxury SUV is reportedly priced at around 240 million won in South Korea.
Han Eun Jung expressed her excitement on social media after receiving the expensive gift just ahead of her due date. She wrote, “There isn’t much time left until the baby arrives, and the BMW dealership has once again given me an unforgettable memory. They congratulated me on the upcoming birth of my first child. They chose this BMW XM for me and said that the car suited my image very well. They also said they selected it because the trunk has plenty of space and can comfortably fit both a stroller and a baby car seat. Once again, I sincerely thank them for giving me such a wonderful memory. I will definitely drive safely.”
After announcing her first pregnancy, Han Eun Jung also surprised the public by revealing her businessman husband’s face for the first time after keeping his identity private for six years. During her June 3 appearance on The Return of Superman, the Full House actress brought her husband along with her. She allowed the program’s cameras to clearly capture his face, which was then shown to viewers on television.
Han Eun Jung’s husband is reportedly one year older than her and has a tall build. Throughout the filming, he was seen attentively and affectionately taking care of the actress, drawing warm reactions from viewers.
Recalling how she first met the man who would eventually become her husband, Han Eun Jung said, “At the time, I attended a gathering through an acquaintance. He came for a little while and then left early. Later, we happened to meet again, and that was the first time I felt as though there was some kind of aura shining from behind him. Even though he left rather coldly, I remember thinking at that moment, ‘Could this be fate?’ I was actually the one who proposed first. He would contact me inconsistently, which made me so impatient that I eventually thought, ‘If it’s going to be like this, we might as well just get married.’”
Han Eun Jung announced her marriage to the businessman, who is one year her senior, six years ago. The couple reportedly dated for about a year before deciding to tie the knot. At the time, her husband was described as a kind and thoughtful man who was considerate toward the people around him.
In January 2020, the Full House actress officially held her wedding at Lotte World Tower in Seoul, South Korea. Before the ceremony, Han Eun Jung took some time to meet and speak with the press. Her groom, however, did not appear at the pre-wedding press event. According to Osen, Han Eun Jung’s husband is a businessman who does not work in the entertainment industry, so the actress chose to keep his face out of the media in order to protect his privacy.
Speaking affectionately about her husband, Han Eun Jung said, “He is someone who can make up for the things I lack. He is a very warm and kind man.” She also delivered a sweet message to him during the press event ahead of their wedding, saying, “Thank you for choosing me. I love you.”
Born in 1980, Han Eun Jung entered the entertainment industry at the age of 19 through the drama For the Sake of Love. Since then, she has continued to leave an impression on audiences through notable productions including Full House, Seoul 1945, and Wonderful Life. In particular, her role as Song Hye Kyo’s romantic rival in Full House helped propel her to widespread recognition across Asia.
