Perspective
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. At that time, Lee was 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 a co-founder and investor in Baram Pictures, another production company which was acquired by Kakao Entertainment in July 2020 for ₩20 million despite continuously incurring big operational losses annually since it was founded in 2017. That transaction has been alleged by prosecutors as a cause of loss of money for the company, and they also saw possible conflict of interest in it due to Lee and Yoon being married at the time it happened.
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]
