T-ara's Ryu Hwayoung announces September wedding, shares photos with businessman fiancé

Ryu Hwayoung announced her upcoming marriage on June 30, 2026, posting wedding photos to her personal account. The ceremony is set for September 12, 2026.

Her fiancé is a businessman three years older. His face didn't appear in the photos. She described him as exactly what she'd always wanted: "I wanted to meet a man like my father, and my wish came true." He "consistently delivers delicious food and only acts cute with me."

On social media, she wrote: "Love exists not in grand promises but in moments of laughing together." They call themselves a 'Dobby couple' and have said they want to appear on a couple variety show together.

Ryu debuted with T-ara in 2010 before leaving to pursue acting. Her credits include the dramas Mad Dog and Beauty Inside. (The variety show plans fit perfectly for someone who spent years in idol life.)
