Moon So-ri, the acclaimed actress who recently turned 51, and her husband, director Jang Joon-hwan, celebrated 20 years of marriage this December. Known for his work on films such as When Life Gives You Tangerines, Save the Green Planet!, Hwayi: A Monster Boy, and 1987, Jang and Moon have long been seen as one of the industry’s beloved couples. Despite their close public appearances and affectionate interactions shared on broadcasts, the couple surprised fans recently by revealing they are currently living separately.
This revelation comes ahead of their appearance on the upcoming tvN STORY reality show Each House Couple, premiering August 28 at 8 p.m. The show will document their separate daily lives as Moon resides in Seoul while Jang lives in Jeju Island. Their decision to live apart—despite having once declared, “Will you be together forever? “ with a resounding “Yes” at their wedding ceremony—has piqued public interest in understanding the reasons and experiences behind their amicable separation.
Joining Moon So-ri as a co-host of Each House Couple is entertainer Park Myung-soo. This marks Moon’s first venture as an MC in a variety program, where she is expected to bring sincere insight as someone who personally understands the complexities of separate living within a marriage.
In addition to the couple, the program will feature singer Kim Jung-min, who married Japanese wife Tani Rumiko in 2006 and shares three children with her. Despite their strong bond, they too currently live separately—Kim in Seoul and Rumiko in Japan. The show’s preview depicts scenes of them preparing meals and sleeping apart, showcasing contrasting emotions and lifestyles.
The production team describes the series as more than a typical observational show, aiming to explore evolving definitions of marriage and family life in modern society. By delving into why couples live apart and how they emotionally navigate these circumstances, Each House Couple intends to offer a nuanced look at alternative relationship dynamics.
