Actor Ha Jung-woo recently offered a glimpse into his personal life, sharing anecdotes about his relationship with actress Cha Jung-won. The details emerged during a conversation on the March 6, 2026, episode of the Coupang Play variety display, Kang Ho Dong’s Bookstore, where Ha Jung-woo appeared as the first guest. The actor confirmed his relationship with Cha Jung-won on February 4, sparking public interest, and has now provided charming insights into their time together.
Host Kang Ho Dong initiated the conversation by inquiring about Ha Jung-woo’s happiness, to which the actor responded with a smile, “I am happy.” The discussion then turned to Ha Jung-woo’s well-known love for walking, prompting Kang Ho Dong to ask if he and Cha Jung-won share this pastime. The response revealed a humorous contrast in their preferences, offering a relatable moment for viewers.
Ha Jung-woo explained that while he dreams of exploring the world through hiking, his girlfriend isn’t quite as enthusiastic about long walks. “I wanted to walk all over the world together and conquer hiking trails one by one, but she really hates walking,” he shared with a laugh. This difference in preferences led to a memorable moment during a trip to Hawaii, which Ha Jung-woo recounted with amusement.
According to Ha Jung-woo, during a walk in Hawaii, Cha Jung-won unexpectedly sat down after approximately two hours. Kang Ho Dong playfully questioned whether the trip was solely with the two of them, to which Ha Jung-woo jokingly replied, “Of course, just the two of us. We didn’t go with our parents.” This lighthearted exchange highlighted the couple’s dynamic and provided a peek into their personal adventures.
The confirmation of their relationship came after speculation, with Ha Jung-woo’s agency telling News1, “It’s true that Ha Jung Woo is in a relationship, but marriage has not been confirmed.” This statement addressed circulating rumors about a potential wedding, clarifying the current status of their relationship. The couple’s 11-year age difference has also been noted in reports, but appears to be no obstacle to their happiness.
Ha Jung-woo is currently awaiting the release of the tvN drama Mad Concrete Dreams, while continuing to navigate his newfound openness about his personal life. His appearance on Kang Ho Dong’s Bookstore offered a refreshing and candid seem at the actor beyond his on-screen persona.
As Ha Jung-woo balances his career with his relationship, fans and the public will be watching to notice how their connection unfolds. While marriage remains unconfirmed, the couple’s playful dynamic and shared experiences, like their Hawaiian adventure, suggest a blossoming relationship.
