Park Shin-hye and Choi Tae-joon will get married on January 22, 2022.

On November 23rd, Park Shin-hye's agency, Salt Entertainment, announced through an official statement, "Actress Park Shin-hye and Actor Choi Tae-joon will get married."

The agency said, "The two people, who have been dating each other since 2017, became a couple in some place in Seoul on January 22, 2022."

They added, "At the same time, they promised to be partners for a lifetime, and a precious life came to them in the process of preparing for marriage."

The agency asked for the fans' understanding, saying that it is difficult to say in detail because it is in a temporary initial state that needs stability.

Their wedding will be held privately in consideration of the families of both families.

A representative from the agency said, "We would like to express our deep gratitude to everyone who loves and supports the two."

On the same day, Actress Park Shin Hye also made an important announcement via her official fan cafe. 

Park Shin Hye wrote:

"Hello, this is Park Shin Hye.

The weather is getting chilly these days. I am wondering if you all are taking care of yourselves.

A while back, I found the first contract that I signed with my first agency 20 years ago. I was a 6th grader back then, and by my 2nd year in middle school, I held the career of an actress. Another 18-years have passed since then. Time sure flies.

So many people were with me through my youth, and thanks to your love and encouragement, I became an actress who showed you many sides of me through a range of projects. 

There were countless times when I was happy to be in front of the camera, but when there were also times that I struggled, it was the fans who gave me strength and courage. Just one or two words from you, telling me to be strong, were enough to make me stand back up.

That may be all the more reason why I am so nervous to bring you this news today, and in a sense, I'm concerned that you all will be greatly shocked. But I wanted you to be the first to find out, no matter what.

I am getting married to the person I have been seeing for a while now. He was my pillar of support for a long time, and he embraced the person Park Shin Hye with all of her lacking qualities, and so I am planning to start a life as someone's partner in marriage.

Furthermore, although I am hesitant to discuss this because it is still in its very early stages, while we began preparing for our marriage, a precious new life came to us. I wanted to tell you all so much. I promise to show you a good side of me even after I have become a member of my own family.

Finally, I want to thank you for loving me and supporting me even though I lacked in so many ways. It may take a while, but I'm going to do my best to return as an actress as soon as possible, without making you wait too long. 

Until then, please stay healthy, and I will bid you farewell for now."

Previously, actress Park Shin Hye admitted to her public relationship with her fellow actor Choi Tae Joon back in 2017. Now, according to her agency Salt Entertainment, Park Shin Hye and Choi Tae Joon will be holding a private wedding ceremony on January 22, 2022.

Congratulations to the couple!

Hyun Bin is finally addressing the long-standing "ddongcha" (poop car) theory surrounding his character from My Name is Kim Sam-soon—and he's not holding back!

In an interview on the 19th with Star News, the beloved actor confessed, "I was wrong," responding to the reevaluation of his iconic role as Hyun Jin-heon from the 2005 hit drama. The "ddongcha" theory has been a subject of online debate for years, with many viewers critiquing Hyun Jin-heon’s character as overly arrogant and entitled.

Hyun Bin, who first rose to fame in My Name is Kim Sam-soon, took the time to reflect on the character that made him a household name. He shared, “I was just following the script; there were no personal opinions added to the character of Hyun Jin-heon. At that time, I knew Hyun Jin-heon was portrayed as a ‘bad boy,’ and the way it was expressed was different from today’s standards.”

With My Name is Kim Sam-soon now being re-released as part of Wavve's "New Classic" project, fans are revisiting the 2005 drama, and the character of Hyun Jin-heon is under fresh scrutiny. Director Kim Yun-cheol even admitted that the "prince on a white horse" and "bad boy" tropes that once worked in 2005 don’t quite match today's sensibilities, leading to edits in the 2024 version.

Hyun Bin humbly acknowledged his gratitude for his successful career and hit works, saying, "It’s wonderful and I am grateful to have so many hit works. I’ve been fortunate to work with amazing writers, directors, and actors. Thanks to them, I’ve received a lot of attention and love." He also shared a sense of humility, noting, “But I never know when that luck will come again."

Despite the dramatic shift in perspective on his character, Hyun Bin’s charm and dedication remain strong. Fans are eager to see him in his upcoming film Harbin (directed by Woo Min-ho), set to be released on the 24th.
