Today, fans have received some of the best news ever in K-dramaland. Korean actress Park Shin-hye is not only getting married to the love of her life, but she also has a little baby on the way! Fans are basking in both nostalgia and kilig and maybe also feeling their age over her announcement.

 

From child actress to A-list star

Park Shin-hye saw her beginnings in the entertainment industry as a child actress, playing the child counterparts of female leads in many popular dramas. One of her very first K-dramas was the Hallyu classic Stairway to Heaven (2003), where she played the younger version of Choi Ji-woo.

The actress has been in a relationship with fellow actor Choi Tae-joon since 2017. They were both students at Chung Ang University and became close friends after their debuts. They have gone from friends to lovers and have been going strong for four years! The actor recently starred in the leading role in So I Married the Anti-Fan.

 

Her message to fans


The couple made the announcement in their respective fan cafes, and Park Shin-hye’s message to fans is making us tear up quite a bit. She announced their plans to marry and shared the good news of a baby on the way. “Though I feel cautious saying this, we were blessed with a baby while preparing for the new chapter in our lives,” she wrote.

And don’t worry because the actress isn’t planning to retire anytime soon! She promises to be back ASAP. “I wanted to tell you before anyone else. I will show you a positive side after I start a family as well. Thank you for supporting my lacking self with your love,” her message read. “It will take some time, but I will work hard to return as a great actress soon so that you don’t have to wait too long.”

 

She’s a well-loved actress . . .

K-dramas fans have seen Park Shin-hye in a lot of iconic dramas, and many have watched her grow up onscreen. Some even entered K-dramaland through a Park Shin-hye drama. Even actress Lovi Poe is a fan of her works!

 

. . . so fans are getting emotional

So it’s understandable that her fans are going through a lot. And feeling a lot of things. And feeling their age, too. (Personally, I am! I first saw her in Stairway to Heaven all those years ago. Yes, that classic drama, and yes, it has been *that* long.)

Most fans went with emotional, but this one went with thirst.
 

All the kilig

In their message to fans, both Park Shin-hye and Choi Tae-joon shared sweet words about one another that definitely made us feel so ~kilig~.

“I am getting married to the person I have been in a relationship with for a long time. He has been a source of support for a long time and embraced all of the shortcomings of the person Park Shin Hye,” the actress said about her future husband.

Meanwhile, the groom-to-be shared how precious his partner is in his life. “I’ve exchanged various emotions with and maintained a meaningful relationship with someone for a long time. She is like a savior to me who taught me without words to smile brightly when I’m happy and to cry out loud when I’m sad. Now, we would like to make our marriage vows and let this love that I’m grateful for bear fruit.”

 

Congratulations to the spouses/parents-to-be!

The couple has kept their relationship largely private over the years they have been dating. They shared that they will be holding a private ceremony on January 22, 2022 in Seoul. While it would be private, fans would expect to see many big names attending their wedding, as both actors have made many friends in the industry throughout the years.
