Coupang Play sports caster Yang Dong-seok is getting married in mid-November, TV Daily reported exclusively on November 9. The wedding will take place at a venue in Seoul, where he will tie the knot with his fiancee, a flight attendant three years his junior.
According to the report by TV Daily’s Kim Jin-seok, the ceremony is set for mid-November, just weeks from now. The exact date and venue have not been disclosed, and the bride-to-be is a non-celebrity. The report marks the first public confirmation of the wedding, which Yang himself chose to share with viewers.
Yang announced the news in the early hours of November 9, shortly after wrapping up commentary on the Premier League clash between Manchester United and Aston Villa on Coupang Play. He delivered the announcement himself at the end of the broadcast, turning a routine match night into a personal milestone for the longtime commentator.
“I’ll briefly step away from the commentary booth for my honeymoon, but I’ll return with a calmer, more energetic voice to shout through Coupang Play,” Yang told TV Daily ahead of the wedding. The comment suggests only a short break from the booth, with a quick return to live commentary once the honeymoon is over.
Yang is one of the most familiar voices in Korean football broadcasting. Known for his calm tone and powerful, punchy delivery, he became a household name among football fans when Son Heung-min clinched the Premier League Golden Boot, delivering the now-famous line: “We are living in the era of world-class Son Heung-min.” The call has since become one of the most quoted moments in Korean sports commentary.
Yang began his commentary career at MBC Sports+, later moving to SPOTV before joining Coupang Play, where he has become a regular voice of the platform’s Premier League coverage. He has also appeared as a caster on the Coupang Play variety show “Shooting Star 2,” broadening his profile beyond the commentary booth.
With the ceremony only weeks away, Yang is expected to take a short break for his honeymoon before returning to the booth for the rest of the Premier League season. No further details about the wedding, including the guest list, have been made public.
