Singer Tablo, actress Kang to tie knot in Oct

Hip-hop group Epik High member Tablo and actress Kang Hye-jung will get married next month and have a baby on the way.

"I knew it was fate when I fell in love with Kang at first sight and we are getting prepared to get married this fall," the singer announced through his agency on Saturday.

He added, "We will become a mother and father sometime during the middle of next year." Kang is reportedly in her fifth week of pregnancy.

The two had announced in early February that they are dating since meeting at Epik High's concert late last year.

Tablo is the leader of popular hip-hop group and Kang rose to stardom for her role in "Old Boy" by Park Chan-wook which took the Grand Prix award at the Cannes Film Festival in 2004.
