Actor Jang Dong-yoon (34), who announced his marriage to Kim Seung-yun (29), has unexpectedly become embroiled in controversy over alleged 'fan deception'.

On the 25th, Jang Dong-yoon personally announced his marriage to junior actress Kim Seung-yun via Instagram. He stated, "I will marry someone I have been with for a long time this October."

Jang and Kim share a deep bond, having worked together on numerous projects. Kim made her debut in the KBS 2TV drama 'Joseon Love Story: Nokdu' (2019), starring Jang Dong-yoon.

Moreover, Kim played the lead role in Jang's directorial debut short film 'Be My Ears' (2023). Additionally, Jang entrusted Kim with the leading role in his first feature-length film 'Nuruk', released this April.

However, some fans have raised voices questioning whether this constitutes deception. Since Jang introduced Kim as "someone I have been with for a long time," suspicions of a 'secret romance' arose during the production period of 'Nuruk'. Fans unaware of this actively participated in crowdfunding to raise funds for 'Nuruk's production costs, leading to criticisms such as "Fans were used to build the fiancée's career," "I unknowingly paid wedding money," and "If he cared about fans, he should have disclosed his relationship."

'Nuruk' conducted crowdfunding for about a month starting last November, raising 26.35 million won. Fans who contributed over 100,000 won at the time were offered rewards including one GV (post-screening Q&A) invitation ticket and an autograph session with Jang Dong-yoon.

Consequently, fans who participated with the sincere intention of fully supporting Jang's directorial challenge are now unable to hide their bitterness. This is why dissatisfaction has erupted among fans regarding the failure to clearly disclose his relationship with the female lead.
