Longtime couple Lee Jang Woo and Jo Hye Won spark marriage rumors with Japan trip photos

Actor Lee Jang-woo and Jo Hye-won, who have been dating for six years, have sparked marriage rumors after sharing photos from their trip to Japan.

On the 15th, Jo Hye-won posted pictures on her Instagram with the caption “Omo omo,” showcasing their trip to Tokyo, Japan. The photos feature Jo Hye-won, her boyfriend Lee Jang-woo, and musical actor couple Min Woo-hyuk and Lee Se-mi enjoying their time together.

Another photo caught attention for showing the back view of Lee Jang-woo and Jo Hye-won walking closely together, with Lee Jang-woo affectionately wrapping his arm around Jo Hye-won’s shoulder.

This is not the first time the couple has shared their travel experiences. In February, they revealed they had traveled together to a tropical destination, joking about their sunburns in a social media post.

Lee Jang-woo publicly acknowledged his relationship with Jo Hye-won, who is eight years his junior, in June of last year. The couple first met while working on the drama “My Only One.”

In a YouTube interview on the channel “Life84,” Lee Jang-woo expressed his strong desire to marry and have a large family. He shared his dream of having many children and a bustling household, further fueling speculation that their marriage might be imminent.
