In 2012 he directed the short film Waiting for Jang Joon-hwan for the Olleh Smartphone Film Festival.[12][13]

On August 26, 2020, Ryu announced in his fan cafe that he would be marrying his girlfriend of seven years, CEO and model Jeon Su-rin.

In April 2021, Ryu announced that he would be holding a wedding with his fiancée Jeon Su-rin. It was held in April 2021, after the wedding had been postponed from October 2020 due to COVID-19. It was a private event with only family members and close friends.[15][16]
