Agency confirms Jo Han-sun to marry in Jan

Actor Jo Han-sun will get married in January of next year and enter the military afterwards, his agency confirmed on Friday.

A media report earlier in the day said the 28-year-old actor had recently decided to wed his girlfriend on January 9 and has also received approval to do so by parents on both sides.

"We're surprised too because we just heard about the news, " an official at the actor's agency MyNameIs Entertainment told Asia Economic Daily over the phone. "We are currently discussing the matter and will soon announce the details."

Another source close to Jo explained that the decision had been made quite suddenly, in consideration of the actor having to enter the military next year to complete the nation's two-year mandatory service.

The source added that Jo had kept mum about his relationship, even to his close friends.

Jo has appeared in several dramas and movies since rising to stardom through debut sitcom Nonstop 3. His new film "Attack the Gas Station 2" is awaiting release.
