Seungri registers marriage to non-celebrity as interest resurfaces in Yoo Hye-won
Following news that former BIGBANG member Seungri has registered his marriage to a non-celebrity woman who is expecting a child, public attention has shifted toward influencer Yoo Hye-won, who was previously linked to him through multiple dating rumors.
Former BIGBANG member Seungri announced on the 28th that he has registered his marriage to a non-celebrity woman whose child is expected early next year. The news has prompted renewed public interest in influencer Yoo Hye-won, who was previously linked to him through dating rumors in 2018 and 2020.
Following news that former BIGBANG member Seungri has registered his marriage to a non-celebrity woman and that his wife is expected to give birth early next year, attention is turning toward influencer Yoo Hye-won, who has been involved in several dating rumors with him in the past. As news of Seungri's marriage and the upcoming birth of his child emerged, interest has resurfaced regarding the past allegations surrounding the two and Yoo Hye-won's current activities.
Seungri announced on the 28th that he completed his marriage registration with a non-celebrity woman and that his wife is scheduled to give birth early next year. As Seungri, a long-time figure in the entertainment industry, shared these private details regarding marriage and childbirth, interest continues regarding his past relationships with women who were publicly mentioned. However, limited information has been released regarding his wife's identity or the specific details of their relationship.
Yoo Hye-won is an individual who was embroiled in multiple dating rumors with Seungri in the past. The public first took notice of their relationship in 2018, when rumors surfaced through Taiwanese media and Chinese-language social media showing Seungri and Yoo Hye-won together. Since this occurred before Seungri was identified as a key figure in the so-called "Burning Sun scandal," their past actions were revisited as that incident intensified.
Yoo Hye-won also became a center of attention in 2020 when Seungri enlisted in the military. Speculation arose that the two were still maintaining a close relationship after claims surfaced that Yoo Hye-won and a dog presumed to be his pet were spotted in the backseat of the vehicle Seungri used. At the time, the dating rumors continued to draw public interest as neither side provided a clear explanation of their relationship.
Even after Seungri was released from prison, stories surrounding the relationship between the two persisted. Seungri was sentenced to prison for various charges, including brokering prostitution, habitual gambling, and embezzlement, and returned to society after serving his sentence. Subsequently, dating rumors resurfaced following reports that the two spent time together at a luxury hotel in Bangkok, Thailand. However, such reports alone cannot officially confirm their relationship.
During this process, the term "support rumors" (okbaraji-seol) was attached to Yoo Hye-won, an expression interpreted to mean she supported Seungri during his imprisonment. While this nickname was created due to the overlapping circumstances and reports surrounding the two, it is necessary to distinguish between confirmed facts and speculation regarding how Yoo Hye-won actually supported Seungri.
Currently, Yoo Hye-won continues her activities as an influencer. Through her social media, she shares her daily life and recent updates while also conducting online-based activities such as introducing contact lenses and skincare cosmetics and sharing news of discount events. Unlike her rise to prominence through past dating rumors involving Seungri, her current news focuses on product promotion and influencer activities using her personal accounts.
In 2024, Yoo Hye-won was also involved in dating rumors with basketball player Heo Ung. Although speculation regarding their relationship arose at the time, both sides denied it. While Yoo Hye-won's past dating rumors and current activities are being highlighted following the news of Seungri's marriage and childbirth, it is difficult to directly link past allegations or speculations to her current private life. Ultimately, this interest appears to stem from Seungri's news of a new family, which has prompted the recall of past relationships surrounding him.
