Our Man Crush, Ji Sung Is Married
In an industry where high-profile romances can be fleeting, Ji Sung and Lee Bo-young are the blueprint. Married since 2013, this A-list pairing is often cited as the “Nation’s Favorite Couple.” But what makes them truly “couple goals” isn’t just their red-carpet chemistry—it’s their grounded approach to family life.
With two children, the couple has famously adopted a “one-at-a-time” work rule. To ensure their kids are never left solely under the care of others, they intentionally rotate their filming schedules.
This mutual respect for each other’s careers—while prioritizing their children’s stability—is exactly why their marriage is considered one of the most rock-solid in Korean history.
