On 29 July 2026, actress Moon Geun-young announced her marriage to musical theatre actor Jung-pyeong via a handwritten Instagram letter. Her agency, Cre Company, confirmed the couple held a private ceremony consisting of a quiet family dinner rather than a formal wedding. Jung-pyeong, who is seven years older than Moon and debuted in 2007, and Moon had been in a long-term relationship after previously working together as colleagues in the creative collective Bachi and on the tvN drama ‘Catch the Ghost’. 

Following the announcement, Moon was confirmed as a member of the Top 100 jury for SBS’s upcoming audition programme ‘Our Ballad 2’, marking her first role as a representative. The show is expected to resume filming in August. 

In a significant professional development, Moon has been cast in the lead role for the film ‘Yeto’, directed by Yeon Sang-ho. This marks her first major film role in nine years, following her 2017 film ‘Glass Garden’. The project will see her starring alongside actresses Go Ah-sung and Kim Si-ah. Her marriage and career return come as she continues to move into new life stages, following her recovery from acute compartment syndrome in 2017.
