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 said she is pregnant.
Ryu said on her social media account that she will hold her wedding ceremony on Sept. 12 at a location in Seoul. Her fiance is known to be a businessman three years older than she is. Ryu debuted in 2010 as a member of T-ara and later moved into acting, appearing in dramas including “Mad Dog,” “The Beauty Inside” and “Player 2: War of Swindlers.”
Lee also shared wedding news the same day. His agency, Y1 Entertainment, said Lee will marry his non-celebrity fiancee in May. The ceremony will be private, attended only by family members and close acquaintances from both sides. Lee first became known in 1998 for his role as Jung-bae in SBS’ “Soonpoong Clinic,” and later 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 set to reveal the pregnancy on the April 1 broadcast of MBC’s “Radio Star,” saying she received a casting call for the show shortly after checking a positive result on a pregnancy test. Go married a non-celebrity man five years older than she is in 2022.
While April Fools’ Day is typically associated with jokes, the entertainment industry’s celebratory announcements drew attention for being the real thing.
