Baek Jin-hee reveals future husband's identity: 'An ordinary office worker'

Actress Baek Jin-hee has shared details regarding her upcoming marriage, revealing her future husband's name and profession. Describing him as an "ordinary office worker" far removed from flashy wealth or fame, she cited the "sense of stability felt in everyday life" as the decisive reason for her decision to marry after enduring a long-distance relationship.

On the 8th, Baek released a video titled "To All of You♥" on her YouTube channel, Jiny Is Back. Announcing, "I am getting married," she said, "I spent a day feeling grateful because so many people congratulated me," noting that the overwhelming support made the marriage feel like a reality.

The groom-to-be's name was also revealed for the first time. Baek stated his name is Henry and introduced him as a subscriber to her YouTube channel who provides great feedback on her content.

The couple's relationship was not easy from the start. Having met while Baek was studying abroad in Canada last year, the two maintained a long-distance relationship traveling between Korea and Canada. According to her agency, the groom-to-be is an older office worker residing in Canada.

In the video, Baek spoke about the realistic difficulties of their long-distance romance, saying, "I would fly 14 hours to meet him, and he would also fly 14 hours to meet me." She explained that although the physical distance stood between them, she felt more comfortable, as if she were a child again, whenever they spent time together.

The reason she decided to marry was not a grand event. Baek said her future husband is "the person who taught me how precious and fun an ordinary day can be," and that as their time together accumulated, they naturally began to talk about the future.

In particular, Baek emphasized the "emotional stability" her future husband provided while reflecting on her past. Having started acting at age 20, she noted there haven't been many stable moments in her life, with many instances of emotional highs and lows, but explained that her future husband was someone who stayed by her side without leaning toward either extreme.

She also answered honestly regarding her fiancé's profession, which has drawn public attention. Baek drew a line by saying, "He is just an ordinary office worker," adding, "He is not a businessman or a financier, and he does not possess great wealth." She further described him as "just an ordinary office worker who is most excited on Friday mornings."

Her remarks, which emphasized the stability of daily life over the economic background of her partner, reflect her perspective on this union. Rather than the profession or wealth that often becomes a topic of conversation in marriages between celebrities and non-celebrities, she explained the core condition of her marriage as the comfort and trust she experienced in the relationship.

Baek will hold her wedding ceremony at a hotel in Seoul on January 23, 2027. The ceremony will be held privately with only family members attending, and after the wedding, she plans to live traveling between Korea and Canada. She will continue her acting career and the operation of her personal YouTube channel.

Born in 1990, Baek debuted in the film "Man in Search" in 2008 and gained public recognition through the MBC sitcom "High Kick! Revenge of the Short Legged" in 2011. Since then, she has starred in works such as "Gold, Come Out!", "Empress Ki", "Pride and Prejudice", "My Golden Daughter", and "Let's Eat 3," and returned to television early this year through MBC's "Judge Lee Han-young" after about three years.

As she became known to the public at a relatively early age, Baek's life has long been dictated by the irregular rhythm of filming schedules. The fact that she emphasized a "normal day" rather than flashy conditions ahead of her marriage makes the nature of this union even clearer.

The long-distance relationship was also a factor that tested their bond. A relationship where one must endure a 14-hour flight to meet is difficult to sustain through simple attraction alone, but Baek explained that through that time, she was able to confirm the profound meaning her partner holds in her life.

Ultimately, the most significant characteristic of the man Baek revealed was not his job or wealth, but "stability." Rather than the outward difference between a famous actress and an office worker living in Canada, the core of this news remains the process of enduring each other's daily lives and ultimately choosing a future together.
