Actor Koo Hyeon-jun (44) and Director Lee Ok-seop (39) have already tied the knot after a long-term romance. Although there was no wedding ceremony or public announcement of their marriage, the couple became legally married by filing a marriage registration four years ago, in 2022.

On the 1st, a source at Koo Hyeon-jun's agency, Namu Actors, informed StarNews that actor Koo Hyeon-jun has married Director Lee Ok-seop. The agency stated, "Actor Koo Hyeon-jun and Director Lee Ok-seop have trusted and relied on each other as lovers for a long time, and they tied the knot by filing a marriage registration in 2022."

The couple, who began dating in 2013, has already become husband and wife after more than 10 years. The two, who are closest to each other as both cinematic comrades and lovers, have become family as a married couple.

The agency added, "We ask for warm blessings and support for the future of the two, who have always been a strong pillar for each other," and "Going forward, we will strive so that actor Koo Hyeon-jun and Director Lee Ok-seop can greet you with good works in their respective fields."

In this regard, recent remarks made by Koo Hyeon-jun in the film "Resurrection Man: The Red" have drawn attention.

"Resurrection Man: The Red" (hereinafter referred to as "Resurrection Man") is a film depicting the story of job seeker Seok-hwan (played by Koo Hyeon-jun), whose only qualification is baseless confidence, who discovers that he has the ability to resurrect within 72 hours after death and subsequently faces a mysterious pursuit. In the film, Koo Hyeon-jun plays Seok-hwan, a man who becomes stronger the more he dies.

During an interview, Koo Hyeon-jun shared his thoughts on Seok-hwan's resurrection ability in the film, saying, "While the power of resurrection is a very interesting subject in cinema, I think it might be a curse in one's personal life. Isn't it also difficult to want to die but not being able to? It would seem lonely if everyone around you died."

When asked, "If you actually gained superpowers, who would you protect?" he replied, "Family. Like everyone else, wouldn't you want to protect your family and loved ones?" Director Lee Ok-seop was already part of the 'family' he mentioned.

Meanwhile, Koo Hyeon-jun and Lee Ok-seop began dating in 2013 and publicly revealed their romance in 2020, attracting public attention. The two are alumni of Seoul National University of Arts and have collaborated on numerous works, including "Fourth-Year Bo-kyung," "Dating Documentary," "Fly to the Sky," and "Catfish." They are also jointly operating a production company called 2X9HD.

Koo Hyeon-jun is currently meeting audiences with the film "Resurrection Man: The Red."
