Korean star So Ji-sub gets married to former announcer Jo Eun Jung
Former announcer Cho Eun Jung and Actor So Ji-sub are married, as revealed by the actor himself in a statement. The couple filed for their marriage registration and the news was officially announced by Ji-sub’s agency 51K on April 7. The couple decided to not hold a ceremony amid the COVID-19 crisis.
The long and sweet statement read, "Today we are relaying joyful news about our actor So Ji-sub that is worth celebrating. So Ji-sub has met someone valuable to him and has tied the knot. The couple that announced their relationship in 2019 promised to become partners for life with trust and love for each other, and they became a legal couple today, April 7, as they registered their marriage."
The statement further revealed how the couple commemorated their big day along with how they have reached out with a helping hand during this time.
"Following the wishes of So Ji-sub and Jo Eun Jung who want to quietly cherish the most important and happy moment of their lives, they decided to hold a quiet wedding with only their immediate families, and to provide at least a bit of comfort and hope in this time when everyone is experiencing difficulty, donate 50 million won to Good Neighbors and provide tablets and smart devices to children who lack educational support," the statement continued.
News1 revealed that 51k explained the marriage a bit further saying, “It is not a shotgun marriage. Ji-sub is not young, and they naturally decided on marriage after seeing each other with positive feelings."
The new bride, Eun Jung, debuted on TV in 2014 as a reporter on OGN‘s League of Legends for gaming programs and further moved on to BS‘s entertainment news program Access Showbiz Tonight, where she met her now-husband.
51K also asked for privacy requesting to keep things private, "we express gratitude to everyone who loves and supports So Ji-sub, and in consideration for his non-celebrity spouse, we ask for your generous understanding of not being able to reveal details regarding their marriage. We ask for blessings towards the couple that is beginning a new life. So Ji-sub will continue to give back with greater activities as an actor," the statement read.
