Veteran basketballer Seo Jang-hoon walked down the aisle Saturday to marry Korea Broadcasting System (KBS) announcer Oh Jeong-yeon.

During the wedding ceremony at the Sheraton Grande Walkerhill Hotel in Seoul, where many celebrities were present, Seo, 34, tied the knot with the 26-year-old Oh.

The couple first met in a television program for the sport in January 2008, and started dating in May. They announced their wedding in March.

They are a second sports star-television announcer pair following footballer Kim Nam-il and another KBS announcer Kim Bo-min.

They will enjoy a honeymoon in Hawaii and Los Angeles.

The 2.07-meter Seo made his Korean Basketball League (KBL) debut in 1998 and has been voted Most Valuable Player (MVP) twice, while Oh has worked for the KBS since 2006.
