“Everyone’s blessings will always be my greatest source of strength. I am sorry I cannot be with everyone but I will remember your love. I will live well and share my happiness often with everyone. Thank you! You must also stay happy!” wrote Bae.

According to the 42-year-old actor’s management agency, he started dating Park, who is about 13 years his junior, in February this year. He found her bright personality attractive and felt that they have many things in common, so they decided to tie the knot. The actor has repeatedly denied that it is a shotgun wedding.

Bae is best known for his role in the 2002 Korean drama Winter Sonata. He gradually moved on to behind-the-scenes work. His last television drama was The Legend in 2007. Bae is a major shareholder of the Korean talent management agency KeyEast Entertainment. His stake is reportedly worth about 107 billion won (S$125.3 million).
