Ryu Hyoyoung is a South Korean entertainer best known through her membership in Co-ed School, the mixed-gender group that drew attention for its unconventional format in the K-pop landscape. Born on April 22, 1993, she has built a career that has moved between music and acting, and in 2026 entered a new personal chapter with a widely followed marriage announcement.
Debut & Formation
Hyoyoung's entry into the public eye came through Co-ed School, a mixed-gender idol group — an unusual configuration in an industry that has almost exclusively organized its acts along single-gender lines. The group, known in Korean as 남녀공학, positioned her early in a performance context that set her apart from contemporaries debuting in more conventional frameworks.
Activities
Beyond her work with Co-ed School, Hyoyoung pursued an acting career, though by the time of her 2026 marriage announcement, she had been on an acting hiatus of approximately three years. In April 2026, she announced her engagement to a businessman three years her senior, with the wedding scheduled for September 12th of that year. The announcement prompted a sustained social media presence in which she documented engagement gifts, outings with her fiancé, and preparations for the wedding, drawing considerable public attention in the months leading up to the ceremony. She also expressed an intention to appear on a couple's variety show following her marriage.
