“We’re dating with marriage in mind.” With that confirmation from Byun Yo Han’s agency, TEAMHOPE, the Tiffany Young dating rumors became real news. Korean outlets are now reporting a possible fall 2026 ceremony, but both sides stress that no date is set and any update will come directly from them.
The couple went public after multiple outlets reported on their relationship, followed by handwritten letters posted by both Tiffany and Byun Yo Han addressing fans. Coverage from OSEN/Chosun Ilbo English, Allkpop, and others arrived in mid-December 2025, turning months of quiet speculation into confirmed news.
From coworkers to a committed couple
The two grew close while working on the Disney+ drama “Uncle Samsik” (also known as “Samshik’s Uncle”), released in May 2024. TEAMHOPE shared that their relationship developed after collaborating on the project.
Reports now describe them as a serious couple with marriage as a premise. Some Korean media have floated an autumn 2026 ceremony. TEAMHOPE clarified that while marriage is the intention, nothing is scheduled yet. They promised that fans would hear any major news from the couple first.

The letters also promised that any major updates — including a wedding date — would be shared officially. Outlets like ABS-CBN highlighted the personal notes and the supportive response they sparked online.
Why this is trending

The match also bridges two worlds: an internationally active idol and a respected, award-recognized actor. Coverage has emphasized maturity and mutual respect. Many see it as another sign of a changing fan culture that celebrates artists’ life milestones rather than criticizing them. (Allkpop)
