Veteran female actress Choi Ji-woo married a man still not known to the public on March 29 at a hotel in Seoul with just family members. Choi, born on June 11, 1975, has had great success in television and film with hits such as: “Beautiful Days,” “Winter Sonata,” “Stairway to Heaven,” “Full House,” “Temptation,” “The Romantic President,” “Everybody Has Secrets,” “Actresses” and “Like for Likes.”
Most notable was her main role in “Winter Sonata,” which many K-drama fans deem as the most successful K-drama series in Asia. Due to the popularity of the show, Choi was given a name by her Japanese fans, “ji-woo hime,” meaning Princess Ji-woo.
The internet and fans of Choi are wondering about the identity of her husband, as wedding photos only show his back. He is supposedly an office worker in IT and in his 30s.
