April 1, better known for pranks, brought a run of real-life announcements in South Korea’s entertainment world: actor Ryu Hwa-young said she will marry in September, actor Lee Tae-ri announced a May wedding, and actor Go Woori is set to reveal she is pregnant on television.
Ryu said on her social media account that she will hold her wedding Sept. 12 at a location in Seoul. Her fiance is known to be a businessman three years older than her. Ryu debuted in 2010 as a member of T-ara and later shifted to acting, appearing in dramas including “Mad Dog,” “The Beauty Inside” and “Player 2: War of the Swindlers.”
Lee also shared wedding news the same day. His agency, Y1 Entertainment, said he will marry his non-celebrity fiancee in May. The ceremony will be held privately with only family members and close acquaintances from both sides attending. Lee first gained attention in 1998 for his role as Jeong-bae in SBS’ “Soonpoong Clinic” and has since appeared in “The Moon Embracing the Sun,” “Extraordinary You,” “Tale of the Nine Tailed” and “Bloody Heart.”
Go’s pregnancy news added to the day’s announcements. She is expected to disclose the pregnancy on the MBC talk show “Radio Star,” airing April 1. She said she received the show’s invitation shortly after checking a positive result on a pregnancy test. Go married a non-celebrity man five years older than her in 2022.
While April Fools’ Day is typically associated with jokes, the entertainment industry’s April 1 headlines this year centered on weddings and a pregnancy announcement.
