Belgian-born television personality Julian Quintart, a familiar face to Korean audiences for nearly two decades, is tying the knot with his Korean girlfriend this week — a love story that has drawn attention both for its cross-cultural charm and for how deeply the foreign-born entertainer has put down roots in Korea.
According to entertainment insiders on Oct. 5, Julian will marry his girlfriend — a Korean woman five years younger than him — in a private ceremony in Seoul, Oct. 11. The bride is not a celebrity.

Comedian Kim Sook and Julian’s longtime friend Daniel Lindemann, a German TV personality known for co-starring with him on JTBC’s talk show “Abnormal Summit,” also known as “Non Summit,” will co-host the wedding. Originally, fellow foreign entertainer Robin Deiana was scheduled to emcee the second part of the event, but the plan has changed due to scheduling conflicts.
Singer Greg Priester will perform the wedding song.

In wedding photos exclusively obtained by Xportsnews, Julian and his fiancée show off their chemistry with a variety of poses, radiating a “picture-perfect couple” aura. The bride charms in a short wedding dress, exuding a lovely, youthful energy.
Through their wedding invitation, the couple shared a heartfelt message: “We’re getting married! To everyone who has supported us along the way, the greatest gift would be for you to come and celebrate with us. Please share the joy of this special day.”

In a February interview with Xportsnews, Julian said of his fiancée: “She’s not in the entertainment industry. She’s Korean and five years younger than me. Like my parents, I want to build a happy family.” He added that the couple plans to settle in Seoul’s Yongsan District after the wedding.
Julian first came to Korea nearly 20 years ago and began his career in entertainment. Known for his fluent Korean and humorous commentary, he has been a regular presence on variety shows ever since.
He said he intends to continue living and working in Korea after marriage. “My friends like Alberto (Mondì) all have similar concerns. As a parent, you want to show your child the country where you were born. It’s difficult when your child doesn’t know your culture or education system. But things don’t always go as planned. For now, I expect to keep living in Korea,” he said.
