Actress Lee Si-young announces 'shotgun' wedding in September
By Chyung Eun-ju
Korean actress and professional boxer Lee Si-young, 35, announced her pregnancy and wedding date on Thursday.
The actress said she is in the 14th week of pregnancy and will marry in September. Her would-be husband is Cho Seong-hyun, 44, a businessman who owns several grilled-meat restaurant franchises.
The announcement came as a surprise because Lee’s agency denied reports of her marriage on Wednesday.
“I have decided to marry the person I love this coming fall,” Lee wrote on Instagram. “Though this is quite last minute, as soon as my drama ended, my family and I came to this decision after much discussion. I decided to announce my marriage so quickly because I am currently 14 weeks pregnant.”
Lee made her acting debut in 2008 and has starred in many TV series and films, including “Boys Over Flowers” (2009), “Real Men” (2016) and “Let's Eat Dinner Together” (2017).
