Shortly after marriage rumors surfaced, Ha Jung-woo engaged in lighthearted interactions with fans on social media. When congratulatory comments appeared on a script reading photo from the tvN drama 'How to Become a Property Owner in Korea' on February 6, he replied, "It's still early." When a fan commented, "Don't get married," he humorously responded, "I won't know until I walk down the aisle." He also commented, "Oh my love" in response to a fan who posted a photo of singer Car the Garden, whose real name is Cha Jung-won, sharing the same name as his partner.
Although he remained tight-lipped about marriage, the couple expressed their affection for each other in public appearances after going public with their relationship. At a press conference for 'How to Become a Property Owner in Korea' on March 9, Ha Jung-woo described Cha Jung-won as "someone who consistently shows love and support."
Cha Jung-won also praised Ha Jung-woo's unwavering support. During a media talk event for the tvN variety show 'Kill It: The Great War of Style Creators' on May 19, she expressed gratitude, saying, "Ha Jung-woo diligently monitors the broadcasts and cheers me on."
Born in 1978, Ha Jung-woo has established himself as a leading figure in the Korean film industry with roles in movies such as 'The Chaser,' 'The Yellow Sea,' 'Berlin,' 'Assassination,' and the 'Along with the Gods' series.
