Actress Kim Jung-eun will wed in March next year.

Kim, 39, is marrying a Korean-American businessman who works for a foreign finance company. They started dating three years ago, according to media reports.

Kim admitted to the relationship in June, and said she plans to marry him because he had been a big support since they met.

The actress has been preparing for the wedding in private, and will hold a small private ceremony in the United States.

Kim made her debut in a minor role on the popular TV Drama “Star in My Heart” in 1997. She spent many years without hitting stardom but began to receive attention for her roles in “Sunflower” in 1999, and “All About Eve” in 2000.

Kim then rose to stardom with megahit SBS TV drama “Lovers in Paris” in 2004.

The actress recently wrapped up the MBC TV series “Make a Woman Cry” in August.
