Um said: “At 49, I have finally gotten married. I will live happily and always enjoy life. Thank you.” The post included a photo of him in a white tuxedo.

Um and his wife, who is not in show business, tied the knot in December 2024. In May, Um expressed his affection for his wife through a handwritten letter shared on social media.

At the time, he wrote: “I thought meeting someone to spend my life with was not in the cards for me. However, I met someone warm and considerate, and I have begun a new chapter with her through marriage.”
