The couple will officially become husband and wife on the 14th of this month. Ahead of their wedding, they personally penned handwritten letters to fans, sharing their excitement and feelings about their upcoming marriage. The sweet confessions have since garnered significant attention.
According to Korean media outlet YTN Star’s report today (the 3rd), Bae Na-ra and Han Jae-ah will hold their wedding mass at a Catholic church in Oksu-dong, Seongdong-gu, Seoul, on the afternoon of the 14th. The ceremony will be held privately, with only family members and close friends in attendance. Following the news, the couple also shared handwritten letters on social media, along with some of their wedding photos, officially announcing their marriage to the public.
In his handwritten letter, Bae Na-ra sweetly expressed, “I have met a precious person with whom I want to walk through life. When we are happy, we will first share bright smiles; when we are tired and struggling, we will be each other’s silent support. We have decided to paint the rest of our lives together.” With these words, he officially announced his impending marriage.
He also mentioned that he would continue to work hard as an actor after marriage while taking on the responsibilities of a family head. “In the future, I will always do my best and live earnestly in my position, becoming a more diligent actor and a pillar of my family. I will repay everyone’s warm expectations with sincere performances in every moment,” he stated.
Han Jae-ah also shared her feelings through her handwritten letter, saying, “I met someone who stands firmly by my side not only in happy moments but also on difficult days. We have promised to spend our future together, cherishing and relying on each other.” Her words conveyed deep trust and affection for her fiancé, Bae Na-ra.
She also expressed her gratitude, saying, “It would be a great honor if everyone could follow and bless me with warm hearts as I embark on a new beginning.” She emphasized that even as she enters a new stage of life, her passion for acting will not change, and she will continue to work diligently and earnestly in her field.
Bae Na-ra and Han Jae-ah first met in 2019 while co-starring in the musical *Grease*, gradually developing from colleagues into lovers. They had been an open couple within the musical theater scene, but only officially confirmed their relationship in January of this year. Their announcement of marriage after approximately 10 months of dating shows the rapid progression of their relationship.
Beyond their stable relationship, both have achieved notable success in their respective acting careers. Bae Na-ra debuted in 2013 with the musical *Promise*, steadily establishing himself in the musical scene before expanding into television dramas. His credits include Netflix’s *D.P. Season 2*, *Weak Hero Class 2*, *Your Taste*, *Universe Marry Me*, *Control Game*, and *Superpowered Passerby*.
This year, he also appeared on MBC’s variety show *I Live Alone*, revealing a side of himself vastly different from his dramatic roles. While often portraying intense and charismatic characters in his work, he showed a friendly, down-to-earth personality in his private life, sharing his daily interactions with his beloved cat and his hobbies like camping and running. This contrasting charm was well-received by viewers.
As for the bride-to-be, Han Jae-ah officially began her acting career in 2017 with the musical *Hamlet: Alive*. She has since accumulated extensive stage experience, participating in numerous musicals including *Maybe Happy Ending*, *West Side Story*, *Winter Wanderer*, *Brontë*, *Hongnyeon*, *Burn the Witch*, and *Kinky Boots*. As the couple prepares to embark on their marital journey, fans have flooded them with well wishes.
