Korea’s 'Best Supporting Actor', 55, Finally Finds Love; To Marry Music Director Girlfriend, 50

Jeong Suk Yong says his girlfriend looks like iconic Jewel in the Palace star Lee Young Ae.

Jeong Suk Yong, dubbed Korea's "best supporting actor", recently surprised fans when he made an unexpected revelation on variety show Same Bed, Different Dreams 2 – You Are My Destiny: “I’m married!”

Turns out the 55-year-old, and his girlfriend, a music director five years his junior, are not yet married but consider themselves husband and wife.

“We’re living together and consider ourselves married,” said Suk Yong, best known for his standout roles in hits like zombie flick Train to Busan, and dramas A Taxi Driver and Signal.

Their love story is like a K-drama rom-com.

They have known each other for 15 to 20 years through work in theatre, but sparks only started flying after they met again after a long time.

Suk Yong suggested they grab a meal, and after that, "it just happened".

The couple has been dating for more than two and a half years and it was after a trip that they decided to spend their lives together.

“She’s great at planning trips, and I enjoy following. That balance made me want to spend my life with her,” he said.

After moving in together, their lives have become fully intertwined.

Suk Yong admitted he’s now changed his daily routine to sync with his partner’s.

“I used to go to bed early, like 10pm. But she’s a night owl, since she works on music late into the night. In the mornings, when I see her peacefully sleeping, she looks so adorable,” he said with a smile.

Not one to skip breakfast, he's now started fasting after living with his girlfriend.

The couple is also super sweet.

She calls him "crazy handsome" and he says she resembles Jewel in the Palace star Lee Young Ae.

Fans couldn’t be more thrilled for the actor, once a frequent target of “when are you getting married?” questions, for having found the one.

“Congrats to this golden bachelor on graduating from single life!” wrote one netizen, while another said: “No surprise — even love stories follow a romantic script when you're a great actor!”

After playing numerous supporting roles, Suk Yong has now become the leading man in his own love story.

Can you move someone else’s car if it’s blocking the road? 🚗💪 A viral video from Malaysia recently showed a group of men taking matters into their own hands after a badly parked car appeared to prevent a bus from passing. Their solution? Physically lifting the car and shifting it closer to the kerb. 😭 It might have cleared the road, but what if the same thing happened in Singapore? If someone parks illegally or leaves their vehicle obstructing traffic, does that give members of the public the right to move it themselves? Not quite. Even if a vehicle appears to be illegally parked, that doesn’t automatically mean you should start pushing, lifting or arranging your own tow. If you damage someone else’s vehicle in the process, you could potentially find yourself responsible for the damage. And no, the absence of a yellow line doesn’t necessarily mean someone can park however they like — a vehicle can still cause an obstruction or undue inconvenience to other road users. So what should you do instead? For illegally parked vehicles and parking-related obstructions on public roads in Singapore, the safer option is to report the vehicle to LTA through the appropriate enforcement channels or the OneService app, rather than going full Hulk and moving it yourself. 💪🚗 Here’s what you need to know about illegal parking, cars blocking traffic and whether you can move someone else’s vehicle in Singapore — because sometimes it’s better to leave the deadlifts for the gym. 😭 #8dayssg #8dayssgtrending #SGTikTok #SingaporeCars #RoadSafety
