Lee Jang-woo Confirms Wedding Plans with Girlfriend Jo Hye-won While Continuing on 'I Live Alone'

Actor Lee Jang-woo has confirmed that he is preparing to marry his girlfriend Jo Hye-won next year, while he will continue to appear on the MBC show 'I Live Alone' (나 혼자 산다). On December 12, a representative from 'I Live Alone' stated to OSEN that there have been no discussions regarding Lee's departure from the show. During the previous day's episode of MBC's 'Village of Lee Jang-woo', host Hong Seok-cheon asked Lee why he wasn't married yet, to which Lee replied, 'I am preparing for marriage next year.' Lee Jang-woo, who is eight years older than Jo Hye-won, acknowledged their relationship after they worked together on KBS2's 'My Only One' (하나뿐인 내편) in 2018. They have been publicly dating since June 2023. At last year's year-end awards, Lee expressed his parents' pressure to marry, humorously stating, 'I feel like I should live alone a bit longer after receiving this award.' He also thanked Jo Hye-won, suggesting that they might need to postpone their wedding plans, which surprised many viewers. As news of their upcoming wedding circulates, fans are curious about Lee's future on 'I Live Alone', but the show's representatives have reassured that there are no plans for him to leave.
