  Yoon has been married to Kim Keon-hee since 2012. His wife said that she prefers the term "president's spouse" instead of "first lady".
  
  Kim is the president of Covana Contents, a company that focuses on art exhibitions. Kim has faced an investigation that alleged she had taken kickbacks for hosting art exhibitions, in addition to reports that circulated in the South Korean media that she inflated her resume with connections to New York University Stern School of Business. She responded by offering a public apology.
  
  Yoon is the fourth South Korean president who is a Catholic, after Moon Jae-in, Roh Moo-hyun (a lapsed Catholic), Kim Dae-jung, and Roh Tae-woo. He was baptized with the Christian name " Ambrose ". Yoon and his wife were accused of having a close relationship with Korean shamans who allegedly advised them on administrative decisions.
  
  Yoon is known to keep multiple pets, which increased from four dogs and three cats in 2022 to six dogs and five cats in 2025. It was also under his presidency that a law outlawing the trade and consumption of dog meat in South Korea was passed in 2024.
