김원훈과 엄지윤, 결혼식 직후 이혼 발표…사회적 논란 촉발

As the popular segment "Long-term Love" on YouTube channel "ShortBox" came to a close, Kim Won-hoon found himself embroiled in controversy over unexpected malicious comments. On April 1, 2026, Kim Won-hoon released content of his wedding ceremony with Eom Ji-yoon at a wedding hall in Cheongdam-dong, Seoul. The couple donned a wedding dress and tuxedo to conclude their couple setup in the "Long-term Love" series, with Lee Soo-geun officiating the event. The wedding was further enlivened by performances from singers Paul Kim, Jung Seung-hwan, and Heize, making it feel like a real celebration.

However, the issue arose when it was revealed that Kim Won-hoon was actually a married man of five years. He had married a non-celebrity partner in August 2022 after eight years of dating. Although he clarified that his wife had consented to and supported the production of this content, some netizens expressed discomfort, stating, "It"s unsettling to see him have another wedding while married" and "Even if it"s just a concept, it crosses a line." Comments such as "Take care of your real wife" and "Did you consider how your real wife feels?" flooded Kim Won-hoon"s social media.

In response, Kim Won-hoon addressed the situation on his social media on April 2. He stated, ""Long-term Love" has been a significant content series for ShortBox and myself, and I wanted to conclude it in the most meaningful manner." He also expressed his gratitude towards his wife, who supported and rejoiced over the event more than anyone else. He humorously added that he "divorced after just one day of marriage" as per the content"s setup.

Kim Won-hoon gained significant popularity through "ShortBox" on YouTube and has been active in various entertainment shows and advertisements. His series such as "Long-term Love", "Real Siblings", and "Office Workers" have been well-received for their realistic portrayals. Eom Ji-yoon, too, has established herself as a leading comedian by appearing on "ShortBox" and various shows including SNL Korea. Despite the controversy, fans expressed both regret and support, commenting, "It was a fitting end to "Long-term Love"," and "Thanks to both of you, we had many laughs."
