According to entertainment industry sources on the 14th, Won Hyun-joon and Lee Soo-jin will tie the knot at a wedding ceremony on October 4. The couple personally announced the news via their respective social media accounts that day.
Won Hyun-joon stated, “I’m writing this because I have news I want to share first with those who have cared for and supported me all this time,” adding, “I have promised to spend the rest of my life with my most cherished partner.”
He continued, “We plan to stay close to one another, laughing together in times of joy and supporting each other through difficult times,” adding, “We would be grateful if you could warmly welcome and celebrate this new beginning for us, just as we welcome a new season.”
Lee Soo-jin also shared her thoughts ahead of the wedding, saying, “I’m about to become someone’s wife and start a new chapter together,” and added, “I’m truly grateful and feel reassured to have someone who will be with me through every moment from now on.”
The photo the couple released together shows them standing side by side against a beach backdrop. Dressed in matching white outfits, they gaze at each other and share a kiss, conveying the excitement they feel ahead of their wedding.
Won Hyun-joon made his debut in the 2009 drama “Iris” and has since delivered powerful performances in shows such as “Itaewon Class,” “Vigilante,” and “Fine: The Country Bumpkins,” as well as in films like “Male and Female Murder” and “The Divine Move: The Return of the Prodigy.” Most recently, he left a strong impression in the SBS Friday-Saturday drama *Director Kim*, which wrapped up last July, playing Kang Guk-cheol—the director of the National Special Mission Bureau, also known as “Danggang-a-ji.”
