Song Won Geun is tying the knot!

Late in the evening on August 11, idol-turned-actor Song Won Geun personally announced through a handwritten letter that he was planning to get married.

After getting his start in the industry as a model, Song Won Geun made his debut as a member of the idol group OPPA in 2000. He eventually went into acting while continuing to pursue a solo singing career, appearing in dramas like “Princess Aurora” and “Apgujeong Midnight Sun.”

Song Won Geun’s full letter is as follows:

Hello, this is actor Song Won Geun!

I’m writing this letter today because I have something I want to cautiously tell you, which I want to share with you first before anyone else.

Because you have always been with me for all my precious moments in my journey as an actor, I wanted to be the first to personally convey this news to you myself.

Although I feel nervous and a bit cautious about sharing this kind of news, I have met someone with whom I want to spend the rest of my life, and I plan to start a new life with that person.

To be honest, I’ve reached an age where the phrase “old bachelor” suits me, but I’ve now shed that label. (Thankfully..)

I myself am a bit amazed, and above all, I’m very happy.

Looking back, I was only able to make it this far as an actor thanks to the fact that all of you were always there rooting for me with unchanging hearts.

So as I face a new start through marriage, my feelings of gratitude for everything you’ve given me are too vast for me to simply say that I’m happy.

Although marriage marks a new beginning in my life, I will continue to learn more and ponder more deeply, working even harder as I move forward so that I can greet you all with great projects and good acting.

I’m sincerely grateful for how you always believe in me and support me.

Please be healthy, and I hope that all of your days are full of happiness and laughter.

Thank you.

Sincerely, Song Won Geun

Congratulations to the happy couple!
