Is love in the air, or what? (Well, it IS spring…)

Well, Mr. Voice is off the market — Lee Seon-kyun of dramas Coffee Prince, White Tower, and My Sweet Seoul is getting married to his longtime girlfriend, Jeon Hye-jin.

The couple has been dating for six years, and is looking to marry next month (May 23, to be exact). Lee explained, “Hye-jin recently went on a solo trip for a month, and during that time I really missed her. I realized how empty it was without her. I want to be with Hye-jin forever.” The couple will hold a press conference on April 11 regarding their wedding plans.

He won’t have much time for a honeymoon, however, given that MBC’s drama Triple premieres in June. (Yaaayyy!! Okay, I gotta stop doing that. Must… keep… expectations… down…) Meanwhile, Jeon most recently acted in the movie The Naked Kitchen. She played So Ji-sub’s older sister in the drama I’m Sorry, I Love You, and I particularly liked her in the love-n-sex-themed cable drama Romance Hunter, where she was a career woman saddled with a dickish boyfriend.

Meanwhile, another wedding has been announced, this one for On Air actor Ricky Kim (28), who will marry musical actress Ryu Seung-joo (32). Kim is a half-Korean actor who grew up in Texas, and has been dating Ryu for the past two years. Ryu is currently performing in the musical Dreamgirls in the role of “Michelle Morris.”

Their ceremony will also take place next month, on May 4.

SBS’s current ratings hit On Air is winding down, and although its initial three-episode extension was then curtailed to merely one, it will end its run likely on a high note next week. And in typical On Air fashion, they’re doing it with yet more high-profile cameos.

Hines Ward — NFL football player and Super Bowl MVP — was on location with Ricky Kim (or Ricky Lee Neely) in Seoul’s Apgujung neighborhood on May 7 shooting the drama’s final episode. In the show, Ward plays Aiden’s (Ricky Kim) longtime buddy, meeting again after both have achieved success.

(Seriously, who is this Ricky Kim dude and why does he get so much press? According to his bio, he was in the universally panned movie D-War, had a small part in a short drama Miracle, and a Best Theater episode. Not saying the guy’s untalented (yet), but he gets a disproportionate amount of attention for his thin resumé: Let’s just say being good-looking and half-white has been the ticket for many a budding model-turned-actor.)

On Air ends with its 21st episode on May 15; Lee Junki’s action sageuk Iljimae takes over afterward.
