Jung Suk Won promised to make his future bride Baek Ji Young happy.

After news of their upcoming marriage in June hit headlines, the actor commented in an interview: “I feel about the same as when our dating was first reported. When the scandal broke out, we were being careful, and we were surprised that it was reported before our official announcement. We told ourselves that we’d just enjoy ourselves as we’d always done. But right now is similar to back then. I’m thankful because we’re getting so many congratulations.”

He added, “After our announcement, I called Baek Ji Young, and we laughed. I think it’s because we remembered how it was when our scandal broke out.”

When asked about why he decided to marry her, he answered, “I’ve dated her for 3 years, and we match well. Also, my love for my girlfriend never changed in the past 3 years, and we have trust in each other. We argued once over something small, and during that time, I wanted to see her more and I realized how precious she was. I thought she was fate, and I decided because I thought we’d be happy from now on as well.”

He continued, “I grew up in a warm family. I want to make that kind of family. We’re both busy, so we haven’t made detailed plans, but I don’t want to miss this love. I want to make a happy family.”

Congratulations to both Jung Suk Won and Baek Ji Young!
