Song Il Guk - Tying the Knot!

WTF? My OTHER favorite kdrama actor; Song Il Guk has officially announced that he's tying the knot. First Jang Hyuk (at your right ladies), now, SIG. Now I'm convinced that 2008 is going to suck.

Song Il-kook, 37, hero of the widely popular epic drama ``Jumong'' (2006) and ``Lobbyist,''(2007) will tie the knot in the first half of the year.

Song and his girlfriend met two years ago when the actor was still shooting the MBC drama ``Jumong''. His fiancee passed the state-run bar exam last year and is currently a student at the Legal Training and Research Institute.

Dates and other specific plans have not been decided yet, according to his agency.

When rumors about Song's wedding surfaced in 2007, the actor and his agency denied the stories and said that the he was seeing someone but there were no plans of a wedding any time soon.

Song, also the son of actress Kim Eul-dong, became a hit star with his acting in ``Jumong (2006),'' where he portrayed the historical hero Jumong, the founder of ancient Goguryeo (37 B.C-A.D.660). He also filmed the movie ``The Art of Seduction'' with Son Ye-jin, which was a big success in 2005.
