Actor Uhm Ki Joon is officially tying the knot today, December 22!

SunTree Entertainment, his agency, announced that the wedding will take place privately at a hotel in Seoul. The bride is a non-celebrity, and the ceremony will be an intimate gathering of family and close friends.

Back in May, Uhm Ki Joon opened up about his engagement in a heartfelt handwritten letter. He wrote, “I always thought marriage wasn’t in the cards for me. But then I met someone warm and thoughtful, and we decided to start a new chapter in life together.”

He also expressed his gratitude to fans, promising, “I’ll never forget the love and support you’ve given me. I’ll keep working hard to repay it.”

With this wedding, Uhm Ki Joon becomes the last member of the celebrity friend group "UhmYuMinBeob" to get married. The group includes actors Yoo Jun Sang, Min Young Ki, and Kim Beop Rae, who are all known for their close bond.

Actor Yoon Jong Hoon, who admires Uhm Ki Joon, recently hinted at the wedding during an episode of MBC's The Manager. He said, “A senior I respect is getting married soon. I’m planning to give the biggest congratulatory gift of my life as a token of appreciation.”

Although his marital status is changing, Uhm Ki Joon’s career isn’t slowing down. Fans can look forward to seeing him in the 25th-anniversary production of the musical Werther, which premieres on January 17.

Congratulations to Uhm Ki Joon and his new chapter of life!

Lee Jun Young recently opened up about the emotional toll of playing a villain—and how one powerful scene made him break down in tears behind the scenes.

On the May 1st episode of KBS 2TV’s variety show Problem Child in House, Lee Jun Young appeared alongside co-star Jung Eun Ji to promote their new KBS drama Pump Up the Healthy Love.

During the show, Lee Jun Young was asked about the most unforgettable villain he’s played. He chose his role as Han Su Gang in the film Brave Citizen.

He explained, “It was really tough to film. I had to act like I was leading school violence, and there was even a scene where I bullied a grandmother.”

The hosts were surprised, pointing out how kind and gentle he seems in real life. Lee Jun Young shared how he transforms for such roles.

“I try to act as bad as I can, but sometimes the director says, ‘You still look too nice.’ Then I focus even harder and adjust right away.”

He also revealed that filming one particular scene hit him hard emotionally. “My real grandmother was sick at the time,” he said.

“In one scene, there’s a grandma selling gimbap, and I ad-libbed by stubbing a cigarette out on the gimbap. I was really into character, but after filming, I just broke down. So many thoughts came to me and I started crying.”

Fans praised his dedication to acting but also felt moved by how deeply the role affected him. Lee Jun Young’s honesty gave a raw look at how even fictional roles can hit close to home.
