Actress Kim Jung-eun to marry in March

Actress Kim Jung-eun, 39, will tie the knot in March next year.

Following a local media report on her upcoming wedding, Kim released an official statement saying she will marry her boyfriend of three years next March. Kim‘s boyfriend is a Korean-American working at a foreign financial institution in Korea. Kim publicly acknowledged their relationship in June.

The wedding date and venue have yet to be confirmed, but it will be a small wedding in the U.S., with only family and relatives invited. 

“For three years, he was by my side faithfully and was very supportive of my acting career,” she said. “We promised to marry because we will forever be together and take care of each other.”

“I am really blessed to meet and marry a friend and a lover who has a big heart to understand my weaknesses,” she said. “As an actor and a woman, I feel really happy to prepare for the most special days of life. I will raise a happy family with gratitude.”

Kim, who made her debut in 1996, is best known for her roles in TV dramas “Lovers in Paris” and “I am Legend,” as well as movies “Marrying the Mafia” and “Forever the Moment.”
