42-year-old Korean actress Choi Ji You got hitched today in a surprise wedding that was only revealed just hours before it took place.

The Winter Sonata star shared a photo of a handwritten note on her fan club website, which said: “Today is the day I have promised a new beginning with my partner for life.”

Why the hush-hush affair? Choi added that she had to be cautious about unveiling the news so as not to burden her in-laws.

According to Choi’s agency YG Entertainment, the pair would be having an intimate and private wedding ceremony with close family members in attendance “as the groom is not an entertainer but an ordinary office worker.” They also added that the couple had been dating for a year.

The actress is most known for her roles in TV series Full House and Stairway to Heaven.

Congratulations!
