South Korean model and influencer Yoon Ha-jeong (윤하정) rose to fame in 2023 after appearing on Netflix's dating reality show Single's Inferno 3. Her signature 'chin-press eye contact' move, used to flirt with men, garnered countless fans, with 'Ha-jeong's chin' even trending across Korean social media. It sparked a widespread imitation craze, with many celebrities adopting the popular subtle flirtation. Now, the show's 'love player' has officially entered the next stage of her life, becoming a wife.
On October 6, Yoon announced her marriage registration via an Instagram Story, confirming she is now legally wed to her non-celebrity boyfriend of many years. She visited the Gangnam District Office that day with her partner to complete the registration, sharing a sweet photo of their clasped hands.
After completing the paperwork, the couple took commemorative photos at the office's photo zone. In the pictures, Yoon and her husband made heart gestures for the camera, with her happily writing: "Feeling like the most newlywed couple in the world... Let's live well together ^^" The sweet newlywed atmosphere was undeniable.
She also revealed that she was initially too shy to ask someone to take their commemorative photos, so she ended up propping her phone between chairs to take selfies. She jokingly called these their "marriage registration commemorative photos," with their adorable interaction making netizens comment on the strong newlywed vibe.
Yoon had, in fact, announced her impending marriage back in April, revealing that she would marry a precious person she had been with for many years in October. At the time, she expressed her hope that everyone would view their new life with warmth and send their blessings.
Recounting their love story, Yoon shared that she reconnected with her now-husband about a year after filming Single's Inferno 3. Unexpectedly, he began actively pursuing her from then on. Since they already knew each other, their relationship quickly progressed from friends to lovers.
She once joked that she initially thought she would find a spouse on Single's Inferno, but true love appeared only after she left the show. "Life is truly strange," she remarked. She emphasized that their relationship officially developed only after the show's filming concluded, having previously been just an occasional 'older brother-younger sister' dynamic.
Since announcing her marriage, Yoon has frequently shared sweet moments with her boyfriend on social media, essentially turning her Instagram into a 'love-flaunting account.' In July, she unveiled her wedding photos under the title "A day I want to cherish forever," which was the first official reveal of her fiancé's face.
Her husband's appearance had already piqued netizens' curiosity. Yoon previously mentioned that a dermatologist once complimented her fiancé, saying he resembled Korean actor Joo Ji-hoon (주지훈). Thus, after the wedding photos were released, discussions reignited, with many netizens curious about the extent of their resemblance.
Her husband is reportedly an IT engineer older than her. The couple met in their early 20s and decided to marry after dating for three years.
On Single's Inferno 3, Yoon developed a subtle romantic storyline with Lee Gwan-hee (이관희), a professional basketball player dubbed the 'King of Flirting,' and their interactions became a focal point of the show, though they ultimately did not become a couple. In July this year, Lee confirmed his relationship with Yoo Si-eun (유시은), a former Miss Korea runner-up, making them another couple from Single's Inferno 3 that has garnered post-show attention.
After the show, Yoon continued to actively manage her personal social media, accumulating high popularity with her striking looks and straightforward personality. She currently has approximately 950,000 followers across platforms like Instagram. Now, transitioning from a reality dating show participant to a real-life wife, officially bidding farewell to single life, many fans have sent their blessings.
