K-drama star Choi Ji-woo married in ‘quiet’ private wedding
A-list actress, who is popular throughout Asia, reveals on fan website that March 29 marriage was kept secret as her husband is ‘not a public figure’
South Korean actress Choi Ji-woo was married in a “quiet” private ceremony.
Choi, 42, surprised her fans after posting a handwritten note on her fan club website announcing her wedding on March 29.
“Today, March 29, is the day I promised to begin a new start with my life partner,” she wrote. “We held a quiet ceremony this afternoon, with only our family members present,” she wrote.
“My heart was heavy while planning the wedding as I was not able to share this news. I should have shared this earlier… but ask for your understanding as I had to be cautious to spare family members and my husband-to-be, who is not a public figure, the potential burden [of a public wedding].”
The reason for the secrecy behind her wedding, the actress explained in her note, was because her husband was not a public figure and she wanted to protect his privacy.
The small wedding took place in a hotel in Seoul, and was attended by her and her husband’s family members.
