Baek Jin-hee to Marry Partner Met in Canada After Failed 7-Year Relationship

They maintained a public relationship for 7 years. At that time, her partner spoke of the future, saying, "Of course, we will get married soon," and even mentioned specific plans for a second generation, such as having a daughter. However, a long love does not necessarily lead to marriage. Actress Baek Jin-hee and Yoon Hyun Min eventually broke up in 2023 and went their separate ways. Now, as news spreads that Baek Jin-hee is preparing for marriage with a new partner, her past public relationship is drawing attention once again.

On the 11th, Baek Jin-hee posted daily life photos on her SNS with the caption, "Looking for my autumn night aesthetic." In the photos, she is seen choosing clothes with an acquaintance and spending a relaxing time smiling brightly against a backdrop of flowers and sunsets. Although it is an ordinary autumn daily life, it drew interest from fans as it was the recent update of a bride-to-be preparing for marriage. Attention was also focused on Baek Jin-hee's bright expression ahead of her new start.

Baek Jin-hee is scheduled to hold her wedding at a hotel in Seoul on January 23 next year. The groom-to-be is known to be an ordinary office worker, not a celebrity. The place where the two first met was neither a domestic filming set nor a celebrity gathering. It is reported that they became close after meeting while Baek Jin-hee was studying language in Canada last year, and subsequently developed into lovers. Since they did not meet through activities in the entertainment industry, their meeting itself is attracting interest.

The love between the two has not always been smooth. After Baek Jin-hee returned to South Korea, a long-distance relationship involving traveling between South Korea and Canada continued. It was also revealed that they did not hesitate to take a 14-hour flight to meet each other even in a situation where they had to be physically apart. After maintaining their relationship while traveling long distances, they are now on the verge of the fruit of their labor, marriage. Unlike the past when they received public attention through a public relationship, it is also noteworthy that this time they are quietly nurturing their love and preparing for marriage with a non-celebrity partner.

As curiosity about the groom-to-be grew, Baek Jin-hee personally introduced him. Rather than a special wealthy person or a famous figure, she described him as "an ordinary office worker who is most excited on Friday mornings." It is an expression that emphasizes everyday charm rather than a glamorous background. While interest focused on his occupation and identity as a meeting between a celebrity and a non-celebrity, Baek Jin-hee explained their relationship by introducing the groom-to-be as an ordinary office worker.

The reason Baek Jin-hee's marriage news is gaining even more buzz is because of her long public relationship with Yoon Hyun Min. The two formed a connection through the MBC drama 'My Daughter, Geum Sa-wol' in 2016, and after developing into lovers, they admitted to their dating in 2017. As they continued their love publicly for about 7 years, their relationship was cited as one of the representative long-term dating cases in the entertainment industry. Because they were together for a long time, the possibility of marriage was naturally discussed.

In particular, Yoon Hyun Min drew attention by speaking of his future with Baek Jin-hee on a broadcast in 2022, saying, "Of course, we will get married soon." At that time, he mentioned that they also discussed having a daughter regarding plans for a second generation. It gave the impression that they were sharing specific thoughts about marriage and family beyond simply continuing to date. The public, who watched their long relationship, also accepted that their marriage would be a matter of time.

However, the two announced their breakup in 2023. Contrary to the expectation that the long relationship would lead to marriage, the relationship ended, and the two went on to live their own lives. This is why the marriage and second-generation plans shared during their public dating are being brought up again belatedly. However, the reason for their breakup or the specific circumstances at the time cannot be determined beyond the confirmed facts.

A 7-year public relationship and breakup, and then a new love and marriage. Baek Jin-hee's story shows that a long relationship does not necessarily lead to marriage, and that the next chapter of life can open at an unexpected moment. While memories of her past relationship are being recalled, Baek Jin-hee is preparing for a new start with an ordinary office worker she met in Canada. Attention is focused on what kind of new daily life this marriage, which comes at the end of a long public relationship, will open for her.
