The South Korean actress Choi Ji-Woo announced her marriage just a few more hours before the event was going to take place on Thursday, March 29.
The 42-year-old Choi posted an image of a handwritten letter on her fan club website, stating that the day has come when she is going to start a new journey of her life with her life partner.

Choi, whose 2002 drama Winter Sonata made her the superstar in Japan and Asia, said that she had a 'private wedding ceremony with only our close family members in attendance. I will start a happy family with the person I love, and we will always respect each other.'
Later, YG Entertainment, her management agency said that the newly married couple was dating for over a year.
