“To be honest, it hasn’t really sunk in yet. But I’m glad to see my family happy for me,” said Jun, asking fans for continued interest and support for her recent film “Assassination.”
The 33-year-old actress married a Korean banker in April 2012. This is their first child.
Jun, who first rose to fame across Asia with the 2008 film “My Sassy Girl,” is among the most sought-after actresses in Korea after the mega-hit TV drama “My Love from the Stars.”
In “Assassination,” which opened in local theaters Wednesday, Jun plays a female sniper from the Korean independence army in Manchuria, northeastern China, during Japanese colonial rule.
