Ever since quirky actress Kang Hye-jung (Herb) and Epik High rapper Tablo announced their relationship earlier this year, they’ve been very open with their affection for each other, and announced last month that they were expecting their first child. The couple had been intending on marrying next year, but the news spurred them to push up the date, and now the day has come: their wedding, which will be closed to the public, takes place tomorrow (or today, by Korea’s time), on October 26.

The ceremony, which will be closed to the public, will take place at the Bailey House in Seoul’s Samsung-dong neighborhood and only be attended by the couple’s family and a small number of friends. It will be emceed by fellow Epik High-er Mithra Jin.

Following the wedding, the newlyweds will take off for Europe for their honeymoon, after which they’ll move into an apartment in Yongsan to begin their married life together.

Ha, these days it’s pretty common to get any and every onscreen couple issuing statements denying they’re dating in real life, even when I swear it’s mostly the product of wishful fan thinking or ’shipping. Because, Yoon Eun-hye and Yoon Sang-hyun? Dating rumors? That seems so odd to me.

Both leads in KBS’s My Fair Lady have issued “strong denials” of any rumors that they are dating. Yoon Sang-hyun’s rep stated on the 22nd, “I swear to Heaven, it’s not true. They’d have to have gone out to eat or drink together at least once for dating rumors to arise, but they haven’t even done that. They’re having a tough time just filming the drama every day, so it’s very disagreeable that these ridiculous rumors would come out.” Yoon Eun-hye’s rep issued a similar denial.

(Sometimes I can understand why these rumors will erupt, but I’ll admit a part of me wonders if this is just a media play to garner interest in the series, whose ratings are dropping little by little with each episode.)

Aw, cute. Glam, poised star Choi Ji-woo was seen recently out on a public date with her slightly less-famous actor boyfriend Lee Jin-wook as the two strolled down the street of the Seoul neighborhood of Insadong.

Photos cropped up online on September 16 showing the couple holding hands, both wearing hats, while Choi Ji-woo also wore sunglasses and a mask to cover her face. Despite the attempt to be less conspicuous, sharp-eyed observers were immediately able to recognize the famous pair.

Lee Jin-wook is currently serving in the military for his mandatory two years. He and Choi Ji-woo had worked together on the 2007 MBC drama Air City, although they were not reportedly seeing each other at that time. News that Choi and Lee were dating came out in February, a few months before his May enlistment. He is currently out on a brief six-day, five-night leave.

Epik High rapper Tablo and actress girlfriend Kang Hye-jung are expecting! In light of this news, they’ve also announced their intention to marry next month.

I don’t think this is particularly surprising news to people who have followed this lovey-dovey couple’s courtship; they’ve been dating for almost a year and been very open about their romance, as well as posting affectionate messages on their respective mini-homepages. Kang, quirky actress of films like Welcome to Dongmakgol and Herb, is currently five weeks pregnant.

The couple has made their formal pre-wedding bows with both families and will have their wedding ceremony in October. Congrats to the happy couple!

Lee Seon-kyun (White Tower, Coffee Prince) married his longtime girlfriend, actress Jeon Hye-jin, in a May ceremony, but due to immediate filming of his drama Triple, he put off the honeymoon till later.

Now it’s later, and with Triple off the air, the newlywed couple set off for Thailand on August 2 for a ten-day vacation. Part of the reason Lee hurried to take the trip so soon after the drama’s finish is because his wife is five months pregnant, and the further along she gets, the more difficult an overseas trip would become. The couple is expecting their first child in December.

Meanwhile, Lee Seon-kyun has one more project due out this year, the movie Paju. He plays the boyfriend of Seo Woo’s older sister, and their relationship grows complicated when the sister dies and Seo Woo suspects him of being involved even as she starts to fall for him.
