1st Korean Actress With Down Syndrome To Star In K-Drama Is Getting Married

Jung Eun Hye, 34, met her fiancé, who has an intellectual disability, at the art centre where they work.

Korean caricature artist and actress Jung Eun Hye, who is also known as the first actor with Down syndrome to star in a K-drama, will tie the knot in May.

The 34-year-old gained attention for her role as the twin sister of Han Ji Min’s character in 2022 hit drama Our Blues.

Eun Hye announced the news on YouTube channel OPQR, revealing that she met her fiancé Jo Young Nam, who has an intellectual disability, at the Amazing Outsider Art Center where they work.

"I've met someone I want to marry. Can a person with a developmental disability live a normal life like others?" she asked.

Eun Hye revealed that Young Nam was immediately drawn to her upon their first meeting in February last year, and they soon started dating.

She was very happy when he proposed, and their wedding will be held on May 3.

Speaking about him, her face lit up with joy as she shared how much strength he has given her: "He has such a bright personality and always makes me smile, which gives me a lot of strength. Thanks to him, I feel more energised."

Eun Hye previously opened up about struggling with loneliness due to Down syndrome.

She found a way to connect with people through painting and held her first solo exhibition in Seoul 2023.
