I&#x27;m writing this because I want to receive your blessings before anyone else. I am truly nervous as I am writing this but I wish to tell you guys my true feelings.</p><p>&quot;I was recently able to be part of a drama that made me shine brighter than ever before and I enjoyed the happiest days of my life because of your tremendous love I received from everyone. After the drama, I gained another precious friend who I shared my honest feelings with, and we developed a loving relationship.</p><p>&quot;At the start of 2016, we promised to spend the rest of our lives together by understanding each others&#x27; weaknesses and helping each other through harsh times. So I will be starting a new life with Miss Song Hye Kyo through our wedding on the last day of October 2017.</p><p>&quot;Furthermore, there were many parties involved in the making of the movie and many were looking forward to the release date of this move. Because all these factors, I was worried about the possible harm that might come to this project and if I showed a less-understanding self, I apologize.</p><p>&quot;The thoughts that came to me when I first started acting come to mind. As an actor lives, he mustn&#x27;t focus on the highs and strive to keep going up. He must learn to look around him and learn to grow wider as a person. I want to work towards being a celebrity that isn&#x27;t up in a pedestal but rather around his close fans and people who treasure him. I want to be in reach of the people that care about me. That&#x27;s the mindset I had when I first started acting.</p><p>&quot;I heard once that life isn&#x27;t about speed but rather about direction. As someone who&#x27;s moved fast and didn&#x27;t see his surroundings all this time… I will work harder to become someone who learn from others and learn to walk instead of run.</p><p>&quot;I wish everyone will support this mindset and cheer for me. I will become an actor who doesn&#x27;t change from this mindset and become someone who is a strong family man. Please support the cheerful encounter between the two of us. Thank you.&quot;</p><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-version="7" style="background:#FFF;border:0;border-radius:3px;box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15);margin:1px;max-width:658px;padding:0;width:calc(100% - 2px)"><div style="padding:8px"><div style="background:#F8F8F8;line-height:0;margin-top:40px;padding:50.0% 0;text-align:center;width:100%"><div style="background:url(data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAACwAAAAsCAMAAAApWqozAAAABGdBTUEAALGPC/xhBQAAAAFzUkdCAK7OHOkAAAAMUExURczMzPf399fX1+bm5mzY9AMAAADiSURBVDjLvZXbEsMgCES5/P8/t9FuRVCRmU73JWlzosgSIIZURCjo/ad+EQJJB4Hv8BFt+IDpQoCx1wjOSBFhh2XssxEIYn3ulI/6MNReE07UIWJEv8UEOWDS88LY97kqyTliJKKtuYBbruAyVh5wOHiXmpi5we58Ek028czwyuQdLKPG1Bkb4NnM+VeAnfHqn1k4+GPT6uGQcvu2h2OVuIf/gWUFyy8OWEpdyZSa3aVCqpVoVvzZZ2VTnn2wU8qzVjDDetO90GSy9mVLqtgYSy231MxrY6I2gGqjrTY0L8fxCxfCBbhWrsYYAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC);display:block;height:44px;margin:0 auto -44px;position:relative;top:-22px;width:44px"> </div></div><p style="color:#c9c8cd;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:17px;margin-bottom:0;margin-top:8px;overflow:hidden;padding:8px 0 7px;text-align:center;text-overflow:ellipsis;white-space:nowrap"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BDUzD4pJs5t/" style="color:#c9c8cd;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;line-height:17px;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">A post shared by 태양의후예 (@sun.sun.2016)</a> on <time dateTime="2016-03-24T06:01:25+00:00" style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:17px">Mar 23, 2016 at 11:01pm PDT</time></p></div></blockquote><script async="" defer="" src="https://platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js" type="text/javascript"></script><p>Song Hye Kyo:</p><p>&quot;I wanted to share a personal message at the place where I&#x27;ve connected with my fans since my debut.</p><p>&quot;You were probably surprised by my sudden wedding news.

Throughout the project, I realized that we had similar values and ideas, and I was able to share everything with him.</p><p>&quot;He was such a good co-worker and friend to me, so we contacted frequently and spent time to get to know each other better.</p><p>&quot;Joong Ki showed me his self, trust, and his manners for a long time. I thought to myself that it would be good to spend the future with him and I was glad that he could feel my true emotions as well.</p><p>&quot;That&#x27;s when I knew that he was the one.</p><p>&quot;I wanted to let my fans know first about the marriage but since this matter involves more than just me, I was extra careful about it.</p><p>&quot;I&#x27;m nervous and rattled to be announcing the news of my wedding so suddenly but I believe my fans will support me. Please continue to love and trust my choices as you have until now.</p><p>&quot;I thank all of my fans once again for being patient and waiting until I spoke up. I am no longer one person but two people now, I will take this opportunity to live better and be more conscious of everything around me.</p><p>&quot;Please give me your blessings.
