Nam Joo Hyuk and Suzy Stun Fans with Private Wedding Ceremony After Years of Romance Rumors

The Korean entertainment world is abuzz with excitement and emotion as two of its most beloved stars, Nam Joo Hyuk and Suzy (Bae Suzy), have officially tied the knot. Their romantic drama "Start-Up" first sparked dating rumors back in 2020, and after years of speculation, the fan-favorite pair has now confirmed their love story with a surprise wedding in 2025.

While neither actor had officially addressed their rumored relationship over the years, subtle interactions, shared endorsements, and mutual support had long kept fans hopeful. Now, that hope has transformed into joy as the couple’s agencies confirmed the news following their intimate wedding ceremony.

According to close sources in the Korean entertainment industry, the wedding took place in Jeju Island, far from the bustling city lights of Seoul. The couple chose a private garden venue surrounded by natural beauty, with cherry blossoms and the sea providing a breathtaking backdrop.

Only close friends and immediate family attended the ceremony. Photos of the event have not been released publicly (yet), but attendees described it as “intimate, elegant, and deeply emotional.” One guest revealed that the couple exchanged handwritten vows and even included a short duet performance of their favorite love song.

Suzy wore a custom-made hanbok-inspired modern gown, while Nam Joo Hyuk donned a white tuxedo with minimal gold accents — traditional yet modern, much like their personalities.

While many fans point to their chemistry in the 2020 drama “Start-Up” as the beginning of their relationship, others speculate that the romance may have sparked even earlier, possibly during their collaboration for endorsement campaigns and fashion shoots. Their playful yet respectful dynamic on and off screen had netizens frequently shipping them together.

Suzy and Nam Joo Hyuk never confirmed their relationship publicly — until now.

Shortly after the wedding rumors began circulating online, both Management SOOP (Nam Joo Hyuk’s agency) and SOOP Management (Suzy’s current agency) released a joint statement:

“We’re happy to confirm that Suzy and Nam Joo Hyuk have entered a new chapter in their lives together. They held a private wedding ceremony in the presence of their loved ones and ask for understanding as they celebrate this moment in privacy. Please continue to support them in their future endeavors.”

Fans now look back at the many subtle clues over the past few years: matching outfits, social media timing coincidences, and Suzy’s quiet presence at Nam Joo Hyuk’s film premieres. Similarly, Nam Joo Hyuk once attended one of Suzy’s overseas brand events under the radar.

Those who attended the wedding shared that both families had known about the couple’s relationship for a long time. “They’ve supported each other through everything,” one source shared. “This marriage was never for the cameras. It was always about love.”

While the couple kept the wedding low-key, a few of their industry peers were reportedly in attendance. Sources claim that Lee Sung Kyung, Gong Yoo, IU, and Shin Min Ah were among the small guest list — though no selfies or group photos have been leaked due to the strict no-phone policy enforced at the ceremony.

Although the couple has yet to release official wedding photos, fan art and celebratory edits have flooded social media under hashtags like #SuzyNamJooHyukWedding, #StartUpCoupleMarried, and #SuzyMarried.

On X (formerly Twitter), fans are writing heartfelt posts such as:

• “They didn’t just start up — they started forever 💍”
  
  

• “Suzy and Nam Joo Hyuk gave us the fairytale ending we all hoped for!”
  
  

• “2025 just got way more romantic!”
  
  

Sources close to the couple suggest that Suzy and Nam Joo Hyuk are planning a short honeymoon in Switzerland, one of Suzy’s favorite destinations. However, both are expected to resume work later this year with upcoming drama and film projects.

Suzy is reportedly reviewing scripts for a fantasy romance set to release in 2026, while Nam Joo Hyuk, who recently completed his military service, is preparing to star in a noir crime drama scheduled to begin filming this fall.

Despite their individual careers, fans are already hoping for a reunion drama — this time, with real-life chemistry as husband and wife!

In a world where celebrity relationships are often scrutinized and overexposed, Suzy and Nam Joo Hyuk have shown that true love can blossom quietly — and beautifully. Their decision to keep their relationship private, yet genuine, has only deepened the respect fans feel for them.

Their wedding isn’t just another celebrity headline — it’s a love story that transcended fiction and became reality.

Congratulations to the newlyweds!
