However, it came to the fore that Ken has been married for years, and the name of his spouse is Han Wen Wen, who also works in the entertainment industry as an actress.
Considering the similarities between Han’s name and the name of Chu’s wife, it came as no surprise that fans confused them with each other. Again both women belong to the same profession and have the same Chinese background.
