Park Tae-joon and Choi Soo-jung's marriage came to light in 2020 when Park appeared on the MBC variety show 'Radio Star.' During the show, he shared, "I had no platform to talk about it since I'm not a broadcaster," and disclosed that they had registered their marriage that year.

On the same show, Park fondly spoke of Choi, saying, "We dated for 10 years. Living together felt like living with a friend," and added, "My wife calls me her best friend," highlighting their close bond.

Park also mentioned, "I've never understood the need for a wedding ceremony since I was young. My wife also disliked the idea, so we just registered our marriage."

He later transitioned to a successful career as a webtoon artist, creating popular series such as 'Lookism,' 'How to Fight,' and 'Life Completely Ruined.' He is currently the founder of the webtoon production company, The Grim Entertainment.
