Personal life

Yoon married a then-unnamed office worker, who was six years older than her, in a private wedding ceremony held on May 30, 2015 at a resort in Bali, Indonesia. [5] [6] They have two children, a male (born May 2017) and a female (born February 2019).

On December 1, 2023, Yoon's husband, Lee Jun-ho, was revealed as the Kakao Entertainment executive being investigated since November 30 for allegations of breach of trust under the Special Police Act. Lee is the head of Kakao Entertainment's investment strategy division, and prior to that was the former president and chief executive officer of its television production subsidiary Mega Monster from 2017 to 2019. [2] [3] [4] The investigation stemmed at first from the controversy surrounding the former company and its parent organization's acquisition of shares in SM Entertainment in March 2023 (a media outlet reported that Yoon was found to have held 67,751 shares of SM Entertainment stock as of the end of 2022 [2] ), however, it was further revealed that Yoon was an investor in Baram Pictures  [ ko ], another production company which was acquired by Kakao Entertainment in July 2020 for ₩20 million despite big operational losses. That transaction has been alleged by prosecutors as a cause of loss of money for the company.

Yoon's agency, Sublime, said that "it is difficult at this time to confirm (or deny) since this is part of private life (of the actress)". [2] [3]

Philanthropy

On March 7, 2022, Yoon donated 50 million won to the Hope Bridge Disaster Relief Association to help the victims of the massive wildfire that started in Uljin, Gyeongbuk and has spread to Samcheok, Gangwon. [14]
