On July 6, 2022, Hwang revealed that she will be marrying Kim Young-hoon, CEO of her management agency Walk House Company whom she had been dating for 10 years, on November 6, 2022, in a private wedding ceremony in Seoul.[8] Kim is also an actor and singer-turned-film producer better known as Cha Hyun-woo and is the younger brother of actor Ha Jung-woo and the second son of actor Kim Yong-gun.[9]
Hwang appeared as a special MC in SBS Same Bed, Different Dreams 2 and stated that the couple had already registered their marriage and were a legal couple in March 2022.[10]
