Ever heard of the saying, ‘Behind every successful man, there stands a woman’? Well, if you invert the saying, it still stays the same. And that is exactly the case with LPGA superstar Lydia Ko. Her husband has been seen on the greens supporting the pro golfer and participating in her interests. But who is her husband?

Well, Lydia Ko is married to none other than the son of the vice-chairman and CEO of the popular brand Hyundai Card, Jun Chung. And the Chungs have quite an empire of their own. While Ko has also earned a lot from competing on the golf tours and winning prize money, it is nothing compared to her in-law’s net worth. Chung’s family’s current net worth is a whopping $14.8 billion, according to Forbes, so when it comes to the prestigious Hyundai family, money does really talk. 

Chung went to Seoul International School for high school and then attended Claremont McKenna College, where he studied philosophy and earned his bachelor’s degree. And guess who manages the finances of the company? That’s right, Ko’s husband, Jun Chung. And his family has a rich history of being exceptional. 

The Chung Family was named the 2017 richest family in Asia, not a country, but the whole continent. Despite being born into a billionaire family, Chung knows the value of hard work. He has worked in various fields like UX design, strategy and business development, app development, data science, and research analysis as an intern and part-time employee. But how did Ko get married to Chung?

Lydia Ko’s love story

Lydia Ko and Jun Chung’s love story is no short of a fairy tale. The couple started dating in 2021, reports Bunkered. The dating continued for one year, and then the pair decided to tie the knot! They got married in a beautiful ceremony at the Myeongdong Cathedral in Seoul, South Korea, on December 30, 2022. 

A few fellow LPGA players also attend the ceremony. And Ko shared a few breathtaking pictures on her Instagram and captioned the post with, “I do, indefinitely❤️” They are a match made in heaven, according to the golfer. As she says, he made her a better golfer! “I think he motivates and inspires me to become a better person and a better player,” Ko said after winning the CME Group Tour Championship in 2022. Which also recorded the first time Chung witnessed his wife, Ko, win a tournament in person.

Having attended 20 golf tournaments, Chung has proved to be the biggest fan of Ko. So, while the former world’s No. 1 competes with strategy and showcases her great skills, now she knows that someone in the crowd is really cheering for her.
