On November 16, a video titled “We (Finally) Got Married (feat. Friendship Couple Lee Jang-woo)” was uploaded on Ham Eun-jung’s YouTube channel.
In the video, Lee Jang-woo recalled hearing about Ham Eun-jung’s marriage from his mother: “When I first heard from my mom about Eun-jung’s wedding, I couldn’t believe it. I thought, how is she getting married while working so hard on her drama?”
Lee Jang-woo then added that he initially assumed Ham Eun-jung’s marriage news was false and jokingly questioned whether she might be pregnant: “I wondered if Eun-jung was expecting. She had to keep filming her drama, so I asked my mom, ‘Is she pregnant? What will she do?’ Even after she assured me over the phone that she wasn’t, I kept doubting it for a while.”
Ham Eun-jung laughed at the comment and clarified: “I haven’t been that lucky yet. I decided to get married this year because my new drama shooting starts next week and will continue until July. I can’t delay it any longer. If I were going to have a child, I’d have to marry soon I’m also worried about late childbirth.”
The two stars reminisced about their time on MBC’s We Got Married, creating a warm and playful atmosphere during the video. However, Lee Jang-woo’s “Is she pregnant?” remark quickly became the focus of controversy after the clip went public.
Fan reactions were mixed. Many expressed support for the duo:
- Their chemistry is amazing.
- Please make sure Eun-jung is happy with her future husband.
- Congratulations to both of them on their separate marriages.
However, some netizens criticized the comment as inappropriate:
- Saying ‘Is she pregnant?’ is extremely rude.
- Even if they are close, there are boundaries.
- It’s disrespectful to speak like that to an actress.
The incident has reignited conversations about what is considered acceptable humor and personal commentary, especially between colleagues with a friendly history.
