Veteran actor Kim Yong-gun, 80, is enjoying a renewed chapter of fatherhood with his youngest son, age six, while simultaneously navigating the blossoming romance of his eldest son, actor Ha Jung-woo, 48, with actress Cha Jung-won, 37.
Kim Yong-gun’s family life has been in the spotlight recently, with appearances on television showcasing his close relationship with his family.

This marks another potential addition of an actress to the Kim family, following Kim Yong-gun’s daughter-in-law, Hwang Bo-ra. The news has sparked interest in the “star family” and the possibility of another celebrity wedding. There has even been discussion of potential marriage plans for Ha Jung-woo and Cha Jung-won, with Kim Yong-gun hinting at wedding talk. “Ha Jung-woo likes babies… it seems like there’s talk of marriage with Cha Jung-won,” he reportedly said.
Sources close to the couple suggest Ha Jung-woo was the one who initiated the relationship. “Cha Jung-won and Hwang Bo-ra have known each other for a long time and see each other often… it seems like Ha Jung-woo made the first move,” one insider revealed.
The developments add another layer to the already vibrant landscape of Korean entertainment, where celebrity relationships often capture public attention.
