Popular Korean Celebrities You Didn't Know Were Related

Park Sung Woong and Kim Ui Sung revealed as second cousins. The veteran actors, known for their villain roles, have appeared together in only three films. Their family connection adds a new layer to their on-screen chemistry.

Kwon Yul is the nephew of actress Choi Myung Gil. Kwon said Choi is his mother’s younger sister and a major influence on his acting dreams. He kept their relation secret for eight years to protect her but later shared:

“My aunt was very proud of my acting career and boasted about it more than her own filmography.” — Kwon Yul

Park So Dam and veteran actress Park Won Sook are sixth cousins. Their relation was hidden for almost a decade despite co-starring in 2015’s The Throne. Park So Dam is the granddaughter of Park Won Sook’s cousin.

BTOB’s Sungjae and Yook Joong Wan share family ties through the Yook clan of Okcheon. Sungjae can call Yook his “uncle.” They confirmed the bond on I Live Alone after checking with their fathers.

Actors Gong Yoo and Kang Dong Won are connected by marriage. Their grandfathers were close friends who introduced their parents, leading to the families’ union.
