YTN anchor Eom Ji-min to wed 'star docent' Jung Woo-chul this month

YTN anchor Eom Ji-min and docent Jung Woo-chul are set to marry.

Eom announced the news herself Monday through her SNS, writing that she and Jung would wed on Sunday.

She described her husband-to-be as "someone who supports me no matter what I do," adding, "I feel like I now have a lifelong cheerleader." She also wrote directly to him: "My person, let's navigate this rough world well together."

Eom said she was grateful to many people who helped her prepare for the wedding. "I will repay you by living well," she added.

Jung also shared his thoughts on SNS the same day. "When I chose this profession, I had set aside any thought of marriage because of the practical difficulties it entailed," he wrote. "But thanks to the wonderful people who always cheered me on, my career found its footing — and along the way I met someone I love dearly, and now I find myself standing at a new starting line in life."

He added that finding "such a beautiful and thoughtful other half" made him feel truly fortunate, expressing his deep affection for Eom.

"In the second act of life that lies ahead, I hope to grow into a more mature person who understands art — and one person — ever more deeply," he said.

Eom was named Miss Korea Gangwon Province in 2014 under CJ Group sponsorship. After working at a financial news channel and a news-only cable network, she joined YTN in December 2021 and currently hosts the channel's program "News START."

Jung is an art commentator and author who introduces the stories behind artworks and the lives of artists to the public. He has appeared on a range of programs, including "Docent Jung Woo-chul's Art Theater" on EBS's "Class e" and "Art Thieves" on JTBC, and gained wider public recognition after appearing on tvN's variety show "You Quiz on the Block" in 2023.
