Comedian Jo Se-ho and Yoo Jae-suk / Captured from tvN's social media

Comedian Jo Se-ho revealed that he will get married in October during an episode of tvN's popular talk show "You Quiz on the Block," following his confirmation in January regarding his relationship with his non-celebrity girlfriend.

The production team posted a congratulatory video for Jo's marriage on their official social media on Tuesday. They left a message saying, "Jo Se-ho joins the ranks of 'sold-out men,' becoming the second one within our team."

On the You Quiz filming site, congratulations and blessings poured in.

In the released video, Jo received a bouquet from the production team and announced the date of his wedding. Jo expressed his joy, saying, "I said I would share good news with 'You Quiz.' I'm getting married on Oct. 20. I didn't know they would prepare a bouquet for me."

Congratulating him, the show's host Yoo Jae-suk joked, "The writers are crying," and shared a behind-the-scenes story, saying, "We hastily prepared the bouquet. I got a call from him (Jo) yesterday."

Holding the bouquet close, Jo smiled widely and said, "It's the first time I'm getting married, so I'm nervous. I want to prepare well. Since many people around me already know about it, I decided to announce the wedding early."

In January, news of Jo's relationship sparked widespread support. He expressed his affection for his partner through social media, saying, "I've met someone I want to spend a long time with. We've spent close to a year together and have become confident in each other."

Jo's partner in the relationship is a businesswoman. According to his agency, the two bonded over their mutual interest in fashion. With news of Jo's marriage spreading, fans are extending their congratulations, contrasting starkly to the "wedding absentee" nickname he once held.
