Actor Moon Geun-young announced through a handwritten letter posted on Instagram on Wednesday that she married fellow actor Jeong Pyeong.
“I met someone with whom I want to walk this path that I have always walked alone; whom I want to share the worries that I carried by myself; and whom I want to make […] smile, even over the smallest things,” she wrote. “I hope that you will congratulate and encourage us rather than worry. And in return for all of your support, I will work harder and live an even better life.”
The two reportedly held a private wedding ceremony recently without publicly announcing their marriage in advance.

Most recently, she took on a new challenge in the second season of the Netflix series “Hellbound” (2021-24) and has also expanded her career to the stage.
