On July 29, News1 reported that Moon Geun-young quietly tied the knot with Jung Pyung, who is seven years her senior, in a ceremony attended only by family members.
Shortly after the report, Moon Geun-young confirmed the marriage in her handwritten letter.
"Hello, this is Moon Geun-young," she wrote. "I picked up my pen to share some news with you. I have gotten married!"
She continued, "I met someone with whom I want to walk the path I have always walked alone, share the worries I have faced by myself, and bring joy to each other even in the smallest things. Together, we want to fill our future lives as a couple, not as individuals."
Moon Geun-young also requested, "Please offer your congratulations and encouragement rather than concerns and worries. I will live even more diligently than the support you give me," she added.
She expressed her gratitude, stating, "As much love as you have given me over the years, I will wholeheartedly support you in return. I promise to come back to you with an even better version of myself."
According to News1, Moon Geun-young and Jung Pyung developed their relationship based on mutual understanding and trust built through their work as actors, eventually leading to their marriage after years of supporting each other.
Notably, the couple maintained a low profile, keeping their relationship a secret even from close friends, and opted for a family-only meal instead of a traditional wedding ceremony.
Jung Pyung, born in 1987, debuted as a musical and theater actor in 2007. He has primarily focused on stage performances and is known to have collaborated with Moon Geun-young in the creative group 'Bachi,' where she served as a director.
Following their marriage, Moon Geun-young will continue her acting career. She recently appeared in the play 'Orphans,' participated in tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block,' and completed filming for the new movie 'Yeto,' reuniting with director Yeon Sang-ho after the Netflix series 'Hellbound' Season 2.
Born in 1987, Moon Geun-young debuted in the 1999 film 'On the Road' and gained recognition for her role as the young version of Song Hye-kyo in the drama 'Autumn in My Heart.' She earned the nickname 'Nation's little sister' through films like 'A Tale of Two Sisters,' 'My Little Bride,' and 'Dancer's Prejudice,' and solidified her status as a leading actress by winning the Grand Prize at the SBS Acting Awards in 2008 for 'Painter of the Wind.'
In addition to 'Cinderella's Sister,' 'Alice in Cheongdam-dong,' 'The Village: Achiara's Secret,' and films like 'The Throne,' 'Glass Garden,' and Netflix's 'Hellbound' Season 2, she has consistently showcased her versatile acting skills.
This marriage has drawn attention not only for the couple's choice of a quiet new beginning over a lavish public ceremony but also for Moon Geun-young's heartfelt handwritten letter to her fans, in which she promised to return with an even better self while continuing her acting career.
