2PM member Ok Taecyeon has drawn attention for showing support to actress Kim Hye-yoon shortly after his wedding, highlighting his continued industry friendships even amid personal milestones.
On April 26, Taecyeon posted on social media, sharing a poster of the film Salmokji along with the message, “I can’t watch scary things… I’ll watch it while crying.” He also tagged Kim Hye-yoon, signaling his encouragement for her latest project.
Loyalty following past collaboration
The two previously worked together in the tvN drama Secret Royal Inspector & Joy in 2021, and Taecyeon’s gesture appears to reflect that ongoing connection. His decision to visit the cinema—rather than immediately departing for a honeymoon—has been interpreted by fans as a show of loyalty and friendship.
“Salmokji,” starring Kim Hye-yoon, is a horror film centered on a mysterious entity captured on road-view footage, leading a production crew to a reservoir where they encounter an unknown presence beneath the dark water.
According to the Korean Film Council, the film has recorded approximately 1.98 million cumulative viewers, approaching the 2 million milestone.
Wedding followed by privacy controversy
Taecyeon married his longtime non-celebrity partner on April 24 at a private ceremony held in Seoul. The event was conducted behind closed doors out of consideration for the bride and their families.
However, the situation took an unexpected turn when photos of the wedding were leaked online. The images, reportedly taken by a hotel guest from a room window, were circulated without consent and included clear shots of the bride’s face.
The incident sparked criticism online, with many netizens raising concerns about privacy violations. Comments described the act as an invasion of personal privacy, particularly given that Taecyeon had repeatedly emphasized that the wedding would be private.
His agency had previously requested understanding from the public, noting that details would remain undisclosed due to the bride being a non-celebrity. The couple had also asked guests to respect their privacy, making the leak more controversial.
Balancing personal life and public attention
Despite the controversy, Taecyeon’s recent social media activity reflects a return to everyday routines and professional connections. His support for Kim Hye-yoon’s film demonstrates continued engagement within the industry even as he enters a new phase in his personal life.
As both his marriage and the privacy issue remain topics of discussion, attention continues to follow how Taecyeon navigates public and private boundaries moving forward.
