Tablo, Kang to Tie Knot in Oct.

Hip-hop group Epik High leader Tablo and actress Kang Hye-jung will get married in October.

``Tablo is preparing for an October wedding. The couple will become father and mother next year," said an official for Tablo Saturday. "They had planned to wed next year but Kang's pregnancy caused them to advance the wedding date." Kang is reportedly in her fifth week of pregnancy.

Tablo, 29, and Kang, 27, have been dating since they first met at Epik High's Christmas concert last year.

Unlike other celebrity couples who usually keep their love stories secret, Tablo and Kang have talked about their relationship through various TV shows and press interviews.

Tablo is a leading Korean hip-hop musician, rap artist, songwriter and lyricist.

Kang made her debut as a magazine model while attending high school. She gained fame through her role as ``Mido'' in ``Oldboy,'' the critically acclaimed film directed by Park Chan-wook.
