Korean actress Moon Geun-young has married musical theatre actor Jung Pyung in a private family ceremony, her agency announced.
Actress Moon Geun-young has married musical theatre actor Jung Pyung in a private ceremony, her agency Cre Company announced on 29 July. Moon, 39, and Jung, 46, exchanged vows in an intimate family gathering rather than a formal wedding celebration, with the agency declining to disclose specific details of the date or location.
In a handwritten letter shared on social media, Moon reflected on the decision to marry. "I met someone with whom I want to walk the path I've always walked alone, share the times I used to ponder by myself and make each other smile over trivial things," she wrote. "We decided to fill our future lives together rather than alone."
Moon debuted in 1999 with the film drama On the Way and became a household name through television dramas and films including Autumn in My Heart, My Little Bride, Cinderella's Sister and Painter of the Wind, earning the affectionate nickname "Nation's Little Sister." She has maintained an active career across stage and screen. Her recent work includes a performance in the play Orphans and completed filming for director Yeon Sang-ho's upcoming film Yeto.
Jung debuted in 2007 and has established himself in theatre through roles in productions such as Ida, Laundry, Liar and Eden Hair Salon. The couple previously collaborated through Bachi, an independent creative studio for film and art founded by Moon.
The marriage marks a significant personal milestone for Moon, who has long been regarded as one of Korean cinema's most respected performers. Her decision to keep the ceremony private reflects a preference for intimacy shared by many established actors navigating their personal lives away from public scrutiny.
