Korean actor Ryu Si-won, also one of the first and most popular Hallyu stars in the country, got married on Tuesday evening through a private ceremony held at Seoul's Hyatt hotel.
The 38-year-old actor appeared in front of reporters just hours ahead of the wedding, vowing to "be a good husband and dad" to his nine-year-younger wife and his child the couple are expecting next spring.
The nuptials, attended by about 600 guests including various celebrities, was presided by Ryu's close singer friend Kim Won-joon.
