On the 8th, Ji-an announced her marriage on her social media, writing, “I have some surprising news to share.”
She said, “I, a free spirit who had never even considered marriage, am getting married to Eom Jeong-wook, who threw the fastest pitch in the country during his playing days,” adding, “True to his reputation as someone who threw the fastest pitches, he captured my heart very quickly.”
She continued, “After a short but deep relationship, I became convinced that ‘this is the person I want to spend the rest of my life with.’ Eom Jeong-wook grew up showered with love from his parents, so he’s a truly warm-hearted person who always puts others first and is considerate. From now on, we’ll be each other’s best friends and steadfast partners as we build a home filled with laughter. Please bless our new beginning with warm hearts.”
Ji-an, who rose to fame through the 2003 National Chunhyang Pageant, has appeared in dramas such as “New Heart” and “Secret Mother,” as well as films including “The Trap,” “Scary Story 3,” and “Serve the People.”
Born in 1981, Eom Jeong-wook began his professional career in 2000 when he joined the Ssangbangwool Raiders and later played for the SK Wyverns. During his playing days, he garnered attention for throwing a fastball clocked at 158 km/h, one of the fastest in the country.
