UFC Featherweight fighter Chan Sung Jung more commonly known as The Korean Zombie is one of the most famous fighters in the organization. His all-out attacking style with very little regard for getting hit has amassed him millions of followers worldwide. Although Zombie has not won a UFC title throughout his career, he remains one of the best in the division.
Throughout his career, Zombie has faced losses that forced him into depression. However, due to his wife, Jung managed to recover mentally and push towards his goal. Chang Sung Jung is currently married to his long-time girlfriend Park Sun-young.
The couple tied the knot in 2014 and Zombie even tweeted about it a day before his marriage. Although it is not reported when and how the duo met, they have known each other for quite some time.

The couple is also blessed with three kids, one son and two daughters. The daughters are named Jung Eun Seo and Jung Min Seo and their son is named Jung Gyeom. Apart from that, the duo is also one of the most loved celebrity couples in South Korea and have appeared on reality TV shows.
While not a lot is known about his wife’s occupation, she has been seen with him in a few UFC clips. She keeps on supporting Zombie through thick and thin and has also earned the nickname The Korean Zombie Wife.
The Korean Zombie has appeared on reality TV shows along with his wife
UFC featherweight fighter Chan Sung Jung is a reserved person who does not believe in trash-talking. The Korean Zombie sells his fights through his performances and as such gives electrifying performances inside the Octagon. However, he also has a different side in his hometown of Korea.
Zombie, along with his wife, has appeared on a couple of reality TV shows which is loved by the locals. The duo appeared on Same Bed, Different Dreams, a show offering a peek into the daily life of celebrity couples. Chan Sung Jung and his wife Park Sun-young were regular members of the show for over 25 episodes.
Compared to Zombie, his wife has made fewer appearances on TV shows. Jung was a regular member in yet another TV show called “Fighter” where he would mentor contestants entering the world of MMA. Jung has been appearing on reality TV shows since 2007 and will hopefully continue to do the same for his local fans.
As for now, he is set to face former featherweight champion Max Holloway in the main event of UFC Singapore. There’s no doubt the match will be thrilling and the fight could even end up winning the fight of the night bonus.
