Actor Lee Kwang-ki's daughter Lee Yeon-ji and Bundesliga FC Union Berlin player Jung Woo-young are getting married.
Lee Yeon-ji, daughter of Lee Kwang-ki, will tie the knot today (15th) with the soccer player Jung Woo-young, who has earned the nickname 'Jang Woo-young.' With this, Lee Kwang-ki, following Lee Kyung-kyu, will also have a son-in-law who is an active soccer player. They met at a gathering of acquaintances, developed into a romantic relationship, and after about a year of dating, are now getting married.
Both were born in 1999 and will set up their new home in Germany, where Jung Woo-young currently plays.
In particular, Lee Yeon-ji has previously appeared on SBS entertainment program 'Yu Jashik Sangpalja,' showcasing her charming appeal, and she garnered attention for her pure visuals reminiscent of actress Son Ye-jin.
Lee Kwang-ki shared the news of his daughter's marriage with OSEN, saying, "As a parent of a daughter, I wanted her to marry a little more slowly, but seeing player Jung Woo-young made me trust him with his sincerity and thoughtfulness," and added, "I was pleased to see that he listens well to my daughter. Although he is my son-in-law, I feel grateful for the gift that God has given me, like a son."
He continued, "Being the wife of an athlete is by no means easy, so I asked my daughter if she could handle it, and she confidently said yes. She takes after her mother, being quick and skillful at managing things, so I have no worries."
Earlier, Lee Yeon-ji announced her marriage through her personal SNS, saying, "I am marrying the person I want to love forever. Last year around this time, I received a proposal while listening to Woo-young's heart that seemed about to burst, and now a year has passed, leading up to the wedding."
Additionally, she expressed her excitement, saying, "I have been mentally overwhelmed with adapting to my new life in Germany and preparing for the wedding, but now it is finally sinking in. I sincerely thank everyone who has blessed us."
Jung Woo-young also conveyed through his SNS, "I have promised to spend my life with the person I love. We will live beautifully together. Please watch us with warmth," expressing his gratitude to fans and acquaintances.
With this, Lee Kwang-ki has become another 'father with an active soccer player son-in-law,' following broadcaster Lee Kyung-kyu.
