Actor Ji-an Announces Marriage to Former Baseball Player Um Jung-wook: 'Certainty After a Short Yet Deep Romance'

Actor Ji-an has announced her marriage to former baseball player Um Jung-wook.

On the 8th, Ji-an posted a photo of herself wearing a wedding dress on her social media, writing, "I am now becoming a married woman. I, a free-spirited soul who had never thought about marriage, am getting married to Um Jung-wook, who threw the fastest pitches in our country during his active days."

She continued, "True to someone who threw pitches faster than anyone else, he captured my heart very quickly as well. After a short yet deep romance, I gained the certainty that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with this person," explaining her decision to marry.

Introducing her groom-to-be, Ji-an said, "Perhaps because he grew up receiving an abundance of love from his parents, Um Jung-wook is a truly warm-hearted person who always knows how to think of others first and be considerate." She added, "Now, we will become each other's best friend and reliable supporter to build a home full of laughter."

Born in 1983, Ji-an first became known through the 2003 National Chunhyang Selection Contest. She later transitioned to acting, appearing in films such as "Deep Trap" and "Horror Stories 3." Her most recent work is the film "Serve the People," released in 2022.

Born in 1981, Um Jung-wook began his professional baseball career after joining the Ssangbangwool Raiders in 2000 and played as a pitcher for the SK Wyverns for 15 years. Notably, he drew intense interest from domestic and international scouts as a hard-throwing pitcher who clocked 158 km/h during his high school days and early professional career.
