He has never been married in the past, nor has he given us reasons to believe that he is ready to settle down with the woman of his dreams anytime soon. He is very close to his mother and career and it appears these two are the only things that matter to him at this time. His mother is his closest family since the demise of his father.

There are strong indications that the movie star could be single but there’s no real confirmation on that as he has chosen to keep his personal life to himself.
Apart from the fact that he is the type that keeps the information about his personal life and background to himself, Chong has never introduced any girl to the world as his girlfriend. However, he has been linked to actress Ha Ji Won and Healer co-star Park Min Young but he is yet to either confirm or deny the claims. So, since he has not officially introduced any woman to us, we’ll assume he is still in the market.
