Actress Moon Geun-young, who announced a surprise marriage, will appear on SBS's new variety show 'The Ballad of Us 2'.
Actor Moon Geun-young will join the SBS mega audition project 'The Ballad of Us 2', which will air this October, as a 'Top Baek-gwi delegation' member.
Moon Geun-young, who earlier made headlines by announcing her marriage, is expected to show exceptional empathy for participants' special stories and songs as the first actress Top Baek-gwi through 'The Ballad of Us 2'. Interest is focused on Moon Geun-young's first Top Baek-gwi performance, as she is an 'audition maniac' who says she watched every singing audition.
With Moon Geun-young's joining creating a big buzz, 'The Ballad of Us' set new records weekly: last year's first season ranked No. 1 in the 2049 viewership for every episode, entered Netflix Korea's series top 10, and reached 100 million cumulative online views, and today (the 30th) it was named the winner of the entertainment and variety TV category at the 39th Korea Broadcasting Awards, continuing to write ongoing records.
Season 2 will begin full production with the first recording starting in August. 'The Ballad of Us 2', which has generated excitement from the start as the number of applicants has surged nearly threefold compared with last year, has an average participant age of 17.9 and is expected to produce new stars surpassing last season.
The large-scale project audition 'The Ballad of Us 2', in which the 'audition powerhouse' SBS and South Korea's cultural content company and leading management company SM C&C are jointly participating, will premiere on SBS this October.
On the 29th, Moon Geun-young announced on her personal social media, I am getting married. I met someone with whom I want to walk a path I always walked alone, someone with whom I want to share the times I worried alone, someone who wants to make each other laugh even over small things, adding, I want to fill the rest of my life together as two, not alone. Please give congratulations and encouragement rather than concern and worry. I will live even harder as much as you support me, and thus announced her marriage.
Moon Geun-young and her husband, Jung Pyung-eun, a musical actor seven years her senior, held a secret wedding after a long period of dating. Their relationship was so private that even close acquaintances did not know, and the wedding was a small ceremony attended only by family.
