Jung Kyung Ho Dons Personal Ring on Ring Finger, Relationship Update with Sooyoung?

Actor Jung Kyung Ho recently stirred online chatter after appearing on YouTube channel “Now with Baek Ji Yeon” and being spotted with a ring on his left ring finger.

In the April 20th episode titled “Is it okay to reveal all these secrets?”, Jung Kyung Ho visited the show as part of his promotion for the upcoming MBC drama “Oh My Ghost Clients”, set to premiere on May 30.

During the interview, host Baek Ji Yeon noticed the ring and directly asked if it was related to his recent cameo in “Resident Playbook”. Caught off guard, Jung Kyung Ho paused, drank water, and replied, “No, this is just a personal ring.” His reaction, coupled with the ring’s placement on his ring finger, immediately sparked buzz, linking it to his longtime girlfriend, Sooyoung of Girls’ Generation.

The couple has been publicly dating since 2014, and while there has been no official marriage announcement, fans have long speculated about their deep bond. As a result, the video has gone viral on forums and SNS, with netizens commenting:

• “That ring placement isn’t just a coincidence…”
• “They’re so low-key but always sweet.”
• “Is this a hint at an engagement or marriage?”

Aside from his personal life, Jung Kyung Ho also discussed his new drama, his admiration for director Im Soon Rye, and his past works like “Prison Playbook” and “Hospital Playlist.” Known for portraying professional roles, he humorously acknowledged his streak: “I’ve been a doctor, a lawyer, a lecturer, and now a labor attorney. Next, I might become a judge.”

The actor also revealed his relationship with his father, famous director Jung Eul Young. According to Jung Kyung Ho, they once had a difficult relationship, and he even pursued the theater and film department exam without telling nor meeting his father for 2 years.

However, their relationship has significantly improved, with Jung Kyung Ho sharing, “I always like it when my father calls me to give me feedback after watching my work and when the first episode airs. He sent me a long letter yesterday asking how the new drama reading was going. He’s practically a poet.” He also expressed his wish to act in a project directed by his father one day.

As for Sooyoung, she’s also returning to screens soon with tvN’s “Second Shot at Love,” (tentative title) airing May 12. With both stars active in upcoming dramas and fans catching signs of deeper commitment, the buzz around the couple continues to grow, especially as Jung Kyung Ho recently described Sooyoung as “the center of his life”.
