Kang Ki-dong, wedding in Jeju Island on September 21st

Actor Kang Ki-dong will be tying the knot with his non-celebrity girlfriend on the 21st of next month.

According to Ten Asia's coverage on the 16th, Kang Ki-dong will be getting married on his hometown Jeju Island on the 21st of next month. Kang Ki-dong lives in Seoul and his girlfriend lives in Gyeongsang Province, but they will be having a romantic wedding on Jeju Island. Since Jeju Island's traditional weddings tend to be long, Kang Ki-dong is also planning to hold the ceremony for about 6 hours.

The wedding will be held privately out of consideration for his non-celebrity girlfriend. It is said that Kang Ki-dong and his bride-to-be will be getting married after dating for four years.

Kang Ki-dong debuted in 2008 with the musical 'Throw the Pick' and appeared in dramas such as 'Love in the Moonlight', 'Wise Prison Life', 'Police Station Next to the Fire Station', and 'The Youngest Son of a Chaebol Family', catching the attention of viewers. He recently met audiences in the role of Byeong-jo in the movie 'Handsome Guys'.

In addition, last month, Kang Ki-dong staged his first directing work, the play 'My Dear Anger'. It is a one-man play that tells the story of an actor who cannot stand on stage due to an unexpected incident. Five actors, including Kang Ki-dong, Oh Jung-taek, Min Jin-woong, Ahn Chang-yong, and Kim Ki-taek, took turns playing the main character, actor A.
