Actress Moon Geunyoung (38) has married stage actor Jung Pyung, who is seven years her senior.

On July 29, Moon Geunyoung posted a handwritten letter on her social networking service (SNS) account, announcing, "I am getting married." A representative from her agency, Cree Company, also confirmed, "It is true that the couple has gotten married."

In her letter, Moon Geunyoung wrote, "I have met someone with whom I want to walk the path I always walked alone, someone with whom I want to share the times I used to contemplate by myself, and someone who can make me smile over trivial matters. From now on, I will fill my life not alone, but together as two."

She went on to say, "Rather than worries and concerns, I ask for your congratulations and encouragement. I will try even harder to live up to the support I receive." She also added, "Although this is a short letter, I hope my sincerity comes through. Just as I have received so much love for so long, I will also support you all with all my heart."

The two reportedly developed feelings for each other after working together as fellow actors. It has been reported that the couple recently held a private wedding ceremony without disclosing it to the public.
