[Sportschosun reporter Jung An-ji] Actress Yang Ji-won, formerly of the group Spica, announced her marriage and pregnancy at the same time. Her groom-to-be is musical actor Yang Joon-mo, and the couple will tie the knot despite their eight-year age gap. Yang Joon-mo also revealed that he had divorced and was remarrying, marking a fresh start of his own.
Yang Ji-won announced the news of her marriage directly on her social networking service on the 24th, saying, "Everyone, I’m getting married."
Yang Ji-won is also currently pregnant. She said, "We had originally planned to get married early next year, but we are so grateful to have been given new life. Next year, at 40, I will become a mother."
She also expressed affection for her future husband. Yang Ji-won said, "In some ways, the two of us are truly different, but in other ways, we are very similar. He helps me see the parts I had not noticed, and loving him is helping me grow up a little more." She added, "Above all, he has helped me encounter God more deeply and closely than before, and he is someone who makes me want to live together in faith," expressing her deep trust and love for her future husband.
Yang Ji-won's future husband is Yang Joon-mo. He married in 2009 and has a daughter, but divorced in 2023.
Yang Joon-mo also used his social networking service that day to personally share private news he had not previously disclosed. He said, "There were many changes in my life over the past years," and added, "After much thought, I ended my marriage in 2023 and we each went our separate ways," revealing his divorce belatedly.
As for why he had not disclosed the divorce earlier, he explained, "It was because I did not want my young daughter to be hurt or placed under unnecessary attention," adding, "I thought it was more important for her to live her time comfortably than for me to explain my personal circumstances."
After announcing his divorce, Yang Joon-mo immediately shared news of his remarriage as well. He said, "During the time when I was slowly rebuilding my difficult life, there was someone who became a warm source of strength by my side and helped me find my smile again," adding, "I want to begin a new life as a family with that person, who reminded me how precious an ordinary day together can be," expressing his feelings for Yang Ji-won.
Meanwhile, Yang Ji-won debuted with Spica in 2012 and released songs including "Dokhage," "Russian Roulette," "Tonight," and "You Don't Love Me."
Yang Joon-mo is loved as one of South Korea's leading musical actors, having performed in major productions such as The Phantom of the Opera, Jekyll and Hyde, the musical "Hero," Les Misérables, and The Man Who Laughs.
