Actor Uhm Ki Joon is officially tying the knot today, December 22!

SunTree Entertainment, his agency, announced that the wedding will take place privately at a hotel in Seoul. The bride is a non-celebrity, and the ceremony will be an intimate gathering of family and close friends.

Back in May, Uhm Ki Joon opened up about his engagement in a heartfelt handwritten letter. He wrote, “I always thought marriage wasn’t in the cards for me. But then I met someone warm and thoughtful, and we decided to start a new chapter in life together.”

He also expressed his gratitude to fans, promising, “I’ll never forget the love and support you’ve given me. I’ll keep working hard to repay it.”

With this wedding, Uhm Ki Joon becomes the last member of the celebrity friend group "UhmYuMinBeob" to get married. The group includes actors Yoo Jun Sang, Min Young Ki, and Kim Beop Rae, who are all known for their close bond.

Actor Yoon Jong Hoon, who admires Uhm Ki Joon, recently hinted at the wedding during an episode of MBC's The Manager. He said, “A senior I respect is getting married soon. I’m planning to give the biggest congratulatory gift of my life as a token of appreciation.”

Although his marital status is changing, Uhm Ki Joon’s career isn’t slowing down. Fans can look forward to seeing him in the 25th-anniversary production of the musical Werther, which premieres on January 17.

Congratulations to Uhm Ki Joon and his new chapter of life!

Actress Kang Ye Won got emotional as she opened up about why she took a break from broadcasting and why she’s finally giving love a chance.

On the March 3 episode of tvN STORY’s Can I Love Now?, Kang Ye Won made her debut as a new participant looking for romance.

During the broadcast, she revealed that negative online comments had deeply affected her. "I used to cry all the time reading comments. I get hurt easily. What might be a small wound for others feels like a huge blow to me," she shared, expressing the stress she faced from malicious remarks.

She also admitted that at one point, she wanted to leave everything behind. "I kept thinking, ‘How long do I have to keep working this hard?’ and it became overwhelming."

She added, "At one point, I thought, ‘I should just quit everything and move to the countryside,’ and that idea actually gave me peace," she confessed.

When it came to dating, Kang Ye Won shared that she had always been content watching others fall in love.

"It never worked out for me. I wasn’t the type to ask for introductions either. I just found comfort in living as an observer. Maybe it’s my fate. I’m fearful, and I lack courage. If I feel like someone might hurt me, I block them out from the start," she admitted.

However, the actress revealed that she ultimately joined Can I Love Now? for her father. "My dad was born in 1943. He had me late in life, and his health isn’t great."

She added, "I realized that if I continue living alone like this, I won’t be able to give my parents any hope until the moment they pass away," she said with tears in her eyes. "My perspective on life has changed. I no longer think just about myself, but about my parents."

Kang Ye Won’s heartfelt confession touched many viewers, leaving fans rooting for her to find happiness.
