The Love Story Of Girls' Generation's Tiffany And Byun Yo Han

▶It’s the surprising news that actor Byun Yo han (39) and Girls’ Generation member Tiffany Young (36) are in a serious relationship with marriage in mind. If the Girls’ Generation Tiffany-Byun Yo-han couple gets married, Tiffany would become the first married member of Girls’ Generation, surpassing the Jung Kyung-ho and Choi Soo-young couple.

It’s not just dating—they’ve officially announced they’re seeing each other with marriage as the premise, indicating that the Byun Yo-han and Tiffany couple’s wedding is imminent.

What’s surprising is that Tiffany, known as a workaholic and previously expected to be the last among Girls’ Generation members to marry, is the one tying the knot. (As befits a workaholic, she ended up finding her future husband while working ~)

In the past, Tiffany had a brief relationship with 2PM’s Nichkhun, and around late 2015, dating rumors surfaced with rapper Gray, but she consistently denied them.

This time, she’s announced a pink romance by officially stating they’re dating with marriage in mind.

Ilgan Sports even pinpointed the date as fall 2026, but it’s said no date has been set yet.

Only the wedding date remains ~ Actor Byun Yo-han, who captivated Girls’ Generation’s Tiffany:

Love Story From English teacher in Uncle Samsik to real-life lovers ~

What connected Byun Yo-han and Tiffany was the drama Uncle Samsik, where the two portrayed a romantic couple in the story.

It’s said that on set, they quickly grew close by filling in each other’s shortcomings.

Tiffany Young, who holds American citizenship, volunteered to be Byun Yo-han’s “English teacher” in the drama, and she even expressed her gratitude directly in an interview.

“I had to speak English with the right nuance for the era, and Tiffany coached me meticulously, so I relied on her completely.” From Byun Yo-han’s interview

On the other hand, to Tiffany Young, Byun Yo-han was like a lighthouse guiding her path as an actress.

Tiffany Young, who took on her most significant role in her filmography after Reborn Rich, revealed she admired Byun Yo-han’s passion and energy as an actor.

“I was a huge fan of Byun Yo-han, and on set, he was like a unicorn. He has such intense energy that I absorbed as much as I could and learned from it.” From Girls’ Generation Tiffany’s interview

Within the common ground of English and acting, their mutual respect naturally developed into romantic affection, leading them toward marriage.

In her early debut days, Tiffany picked “Dennis Oh” as her ideal type, and now that the dating news is out, Byun Yo-han also has deep-set eyes and distinct features that make him someone Tiffany could fall for.

Additionally, like Tiffany, who’s known as a devout Christian, Byun Yo-han is also a Protestant, and even their MBTI is the same: INFJ.

The workaholic Girls’ Generation Tiffany, who’s serious about her career, and Byun Yo-han, who overcame his father’s opposition to start at Korea National University of Arts in his mid-20s and burns with acting passion, surprisingly match well.

Tiffany is famous for being extremely sincere, thoughtfully answering fans’ questions at fan sign events.

And Byun Yo-han is an actor who diligently replies to comments on his Instagram.

Actor Byun Yo-han, who captivated Girls’ Generation’s Tiffany: Filmography and acting passion As an actor, he takes on unique characters, but he’s actually famous for his warm boyfriend photos: Byun Yo-han.

Born in 1986, Byun Yo-han debuted in 2011 with the short film “Saturday Work” and has been active in various works like the drama Misaeng, Mr. Sunshine, and the film Hansan: Rising Dragon.

During his time at Korea National University of Arts, he shot 300 short films and was called the “Song Joong-ki of indie films.” This led to director Kim Won-seok casting him in Misaeng just two weeks before filming, and he rose to stardom with the show’s success.

However, after Misaeng ended, his first lead drama Ex-Girlfriend Club ended early, putting him in a crisis again, but he rose to lead roles with Six Flying Dragons.

Right after achieving his dream as an actor, his health deteriorated, forcing a two-year mandatory break, but writer Kim Eun-sook cast him in Mr. Sunshine, reborn as a top-tier actor.

His burning passion for acting, evident in appearing in nearly 300 short films, ultimately won over Tiffany.

Decisively, after sharing kiss scenes and romance acting in the Disney+ original Uncle Samsik, they developed into real lovers.

It might seem romantic to share kiss scenes with a future partner, but reality was different. “It wasn’t really a kiss scene; it was almost an action scene. (Byun Yo-han’s) beard made my face swell up—you can see it if you look at my face. We had to shoot breathing differently, so we did many takes, and my lips swelled a lot too. It was like shooting a intense dance scene or an action scene.” From Tiffany’s interview

Even ahead of the drama’s release, Byun Yo-han and Tiffany posted the same photos and videos on SNS. During Uncle Samsik promotion schedules, the two stood side by side, showing a warm and friendly atmosphere.

When Tiffany filmed a promo video with Byun Yo-han, asking “Sam. Sik. Ee. Sam. Chon. Fighting. Oppa first? Or me first?”, Byun Yo-han followed her lead in the cheer, exuding strong couple vibes.

With the dating news, their past “couple posts” are being rediscovered, becoming “pilgrimage posts” for fans.

Though the dating rumors were sudden, fans domestically and internationally left congratulatory comments like “Congratulations,” “Please love our Fany a lot,” “You two are so good together,” “Be happy forever,” celebrating them.

Byun Yo-han is on the verge of becoming the lover of Tiffany—who seemed like she’d marry last—and the first brother-in-law of Girls’ Generation.

Please give them lots of congratulations ~
