Top actress Jun Ji Hyun (age 31) announced late in the evening on Independence Movement Day (March 1st) that she is getting married.
Jun Ji Hyun’s agency revealed at 11:51 PM on March 1st, “We are officially releasing information pertaining to Jun Ji Hyun’s wedding. It is true that Jun Ji Hyun will be getting married on June 2nd to Choi Joon Hyuk at the Shilla Hotel in Jangchoong-dong, Seoul.
They added, “The couple has decided to walk towards a new life together as a happy wife and husband. We ask that you wish them well and that you give them your blessings. Also, we are thankful for all the support and love that you have given Jun Ji Hyun.”
Finally, they commented, “She will continue to remain faithful to her acting career and work her hardest to become the best actress.”
Jun Ji Hyun’s boyfriend, Choi Joon Hyuk, is tall, handsome, and currently works in finance. He is also the grandson of well-known Hanbok (Korean traditional clothing) designer, Lee Young Hee.
The two had been friends for a long time before finally starting to date last year. They went public about their relationship in December. However, while both parties acknowledged the relationship, they had previously been careful around the mention of marriage. Thus, the official announcement on March 1st caught the attention of many fans.
Previously, in January, there had been rumors swirling about Jun Ji Hyun getting married in June. Her agency, however, denied the rumors, stating that “they have not yet made any plans to marry.”
More rumors arose about Jun Ji Hyun meeting Choi Joon Hyuk’s mother, who is also a well-known designer, Lee Jung Woo. The purpose of the meeting was to introduce Jun Ji Hyun as a future daughter-in-law. As it turned out, the rumors were true, and the two are now set to get married.
In response to the news of Jun Ji Hyun’s upcoming wedding, netizens have stated:
“I was so surprised at the sudden wedding announcement.“
“Jun Ji Hyun is now off the market too.”
“Though it hurts me as a fan, congratulations on your wedding.”
“I hope that you enjoy a sweet married life and that you continue acting well.”
