Actress Moon Geun-young has surprised fans by announcing that she has married fellow actor Jung Pyung.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Moon shared the news on her social media, writing, “I have some news to share with you, so I’m putting pen to paper.”<\/p>\n

“I’ve decided to get married,” she wrote. “I’ve met someone with whom I want to walk the road ahead together, someone with whom I want to share the moments I once faced alone and someone who can make me smile even over the smallest things.”<\/p>\n

She continued, “Instead of living as one, we hope to build our future together. Rather than worry or concern, I ask for your congratulations and encouragement. I’ll do my best to live up to the support you’ve always shown me.”<\/p>\n

She concluded her message by thanking fans for their longtime love and promising to return with even better work in the future.<\/p>\n

Born in 1987, the 39-year-old actress made her debut in the 1999 film “On the Way.” She rose to prominence as a child actress through hit productions including “Autumn in My Heart” and “A Tale of Two Sisters,” earning the nickname “nation’s little sister.”<\/p>\n

She later built a successful career with acclaimed performances in “My Little Bride,” “Painter of the Wind,” “Cinderella’s Sister” and “The Throne.” More recently, she appeared in director Yeon Sang-ho’s “Hellbound 2” and the stage play “Orphans.”<\/p>\n

Her husband, musical actor Jung Pyung, debuted in 2007 and is seven years older than Moon. The couple met while working together in the creative collective “Bachi.”<\/p>\n
