[Diary Point = Reporter Park Bo-young] Actors Lee Yoo-jin and Cha Kyung-eun are set to marry on Nov. 14. They said they learned they were expecting while preparing for the wedding. On the Oct. 10 episode of SBS’s “Same Bed, Different Dreams 2: You Are My Destiny,” they shared the story of their first meeting and a formal meeting between both families.
Lee’s agency said on Oct. 6, “They recently learned they were expecting while preparing for their wedding,” adding, “The two actors and both families are happily getting ready to welcome a new life.” The couple met on Lee’s directorial debut, “Cast Me If You See a Way,” with Lee as director and Cha as a cast member. They began dating in June, after filming wrapped, and are preparing to marry about five months later.
On the show, Lee said Cha was nicknamed “the Seoul Institute of the Arts peach” while attending the school, then asked, “Doesn’t she look like senior Kim Go-eun?” The program said Cha began acting in the 2023 web drama “Pick Go” and became familiar to viewers through an appearance on “SNL Korea” in 2025. Lee brought up the resemblance while describing his wife’s clear, bright features and smile.
The families’ ties to acting have also drawn interest to the couple’s story and wedding news. Lee’s father is actor Lee Hyo-jung, and his uncle is actor Lee Ki-young. Cha’s older sister, actor Kim Seung-yoon, married actor Jang Dong-yoon last October, making both sisters part of actor-led families.
Lee made his debut in the 2013 MBC drama “The Goddess of Fire, Jung-yi” and has appeared in “Age of Youth 2” and “Three Bold Siblings,” among other series. Cha has appeared in “Pick Go” and “SNL Korea Season 7.” SBS’s “Same Bed, Different Dreams 2: You Are My Destiny” airs Tuesdays at 10:40 p.m. The couple’s wedding ceremony is scheduled to be held privately on Nov. 14.
