Pink grooms-to-be in the entertainment industry in April

In April, the season of spring in full swing, the entertainment industry was dyed pink as wedding news spread. Crossover group Forestella and actor Shim Hyeong-tak expressed their happiness that their love came to fruition in the form of marriage.

First, Forestella Bae Doo-hoon (37) posted a handwritten letter through the official fan cafe on the morning of the 3rd, directly informing fans of the news of his May marriage. The bride-to-be is musical actress Kang Yeon-jeong (36).

Bae Doo-hoon wrote in a handwritten letter, "In May, I plan to conclude a relationship with someone who has been with me for a long time. He helped me become a better person despite my shortcomings, and guided me to live a positive and bright life. “He is a person I am grateful to. Now, I plan to start a new beginning with him as a 'couple',” he wrote sincerely.

Along with this, he shared his thoughts on getting married, saying, "I will work hard and do my best to live well as I always have. I will give as much love as you have given me and live in return with even greater love. ."

Forestella's agency, Beat Interactive, announced on this day, "Bae Doo-hoon will tie the knot with actress Kang Yeon-jeong, who evolved from a colleague into a lover, in May after dating for over eight years. Bae Doo-hoon will continue to be active even after marriage."

Bae Doo-hoon and Kang Yeon-jeong developed into a romantic relationship after appearing together in musicals such as 'Laundry' and 'Black Mary Poppins', their agency said.

Kang Yeon-jeong debuted in 2009 with the play 'The Dwarf Who Loved Snow White', and although he mainly works on stage, he has also appeared in broadcasts and movies.

Bae Doo-hoon, who recently completed his American tour, is expected to work even busier after marriage. Forestella, which Bae Doo-hoon belongs to, is currently working on the World Tree trilogy series album and recently celebrated its 5th anniversary since its debut.

Shim Hyeong-tak (45), who had been inactive for a while, also greeted with news of his marriage. On this day, Munhwa Ilbo reported that Shim Hyung-tak is getting married to his Japanese lover.

Shim Hyung-tak, who is known as a fan of Japanese characters, is said to have met his bride-to-be, who is an employee of a famous toy company, while visiting Japan four years ago on a schedule. Shim Hyung-tak has been in a relationship with his Japanese bride-to-be, traveling back and forth between Korea and Japan for the past four years, and they plan to tie the knot in July. While they were dating, there was a time when COVID-19 broke out and it became difficult to meet physically, but it was said that their love became stronger even during this time.

When the report spread, Shim Hyung-tak said, "Thank you everyone. I will live well in the future. You always supported me and gave me strength when I was having a hard time. Thank you again. Have a happy day everyone. "

Shim Hyung-tak's marriage process with his bride-to-be will be revealed through TV Chosun's 'Joseon's Lover'. The production team of 'Joseon's Lover' announced on this day, "Shim Hyung-tak and his bride-to-be will be revealed for the first time in the trailer for 'Joseon's Lover' tonight."
