Actress Baek Jin-hee, known for her roles in hit Korean dramas including "Empress Ki," is set to marry a noncelebrity office worker based in Canada.
Her agency, Management AM9, confirmed the news to Xportsnews on Monday.
"It is true that Baek Jin-hee will get married on Jan. 23 next year," the agency said.
According to a report by MyDaily earlier in the day, Baek's fiance is an office worker living in Canada. The couple has maintained a long-distance relationship, and Baek is expected to travel between Seoul and Canada after their marriage.
Born in 1990, Baek made her acting debut in the 2009 film "Missing Person." She gained wider recognition after appearing in the popular 2011 MBC sitcom "High Kick: Revenge of the Short Legged."
