Seo Min-jung, a TV actress best known for her role in the recently completed popular sitcom ``Highkick,'' will wed a U.S.-based dentist next month.
The 28-year-old's wedding will take place in the Grand Ballroom on the first floor of Asem Tower in Samsung-dong, southern Seoul, on Aug. 25, according to her agency, Starpark.
Seo, who debuted as a video jockey (VJ) of cable channel MTV in 2000, starred in a number of sitcoms and dramas, while also acting as MC for several TV entertainment shows and radio programs.
She recently saw a peak in her popularity while portraying a cute but tactless teacher who finds herself in a love triangle between a student admirer and her friend's ex-husband in the high-flying sitcom ``Highkick.''
She met her future husband last September through friends, according to reports. Her fiance is currently based in New York, where the couple will have a home after the wedding ceremony in Seoul.
Seo said that she will live in New York for a while because ``Highkick'' ended this month and she has no immediate work in Seoul. But it is not retirement, she said, and she wants to come back when a good role beckons.
