Early life

[edit | edit source]

Hammington was born on 31 July 1977 in Wellington, New Zealand, to Bruce William Hammington and casting director, Jan Russ.[3]

While studying a business degree in university, he decided he needed to take up Asian-language courses to help build up his resume. Due to the popularity of Japanese- and Chinese-language courses, he decided to study Korean. He studied Korean for 18 months before becoming a transfer student at Korea University in 2002.[4]

Personal life

[edit | edit source]

In October 2013, Hammington married Jeong Yu-mi, a Korean.[5] They had two wedding ceremonies: a traditional Korean one in Korea and another in his home country, Australia, at Melbourne Zoo.[4] They have two sons, William (정태오; Jeong Tae-oh) Hammington (born 12 July 2016)[6] and Bentley (정우성; Jeong Woo-seong) Hammington (born 8 November 2017).[7]
