“Married couples say they don’t feel it’s real until the wedding day,” he said. “I think it’s similar (to what I’m feeling). This morning, someone walking by said congratulations. A lady at the sauna also congratulated me. I feel so grateful for fans and passersby who congratulate me with bright faces,” he continued.
Joong-ki also revealed that he was the one who urged Hye-kyo to reveal their wedding plans to the public.
“Honestly, it’s true that I thought it would be better to make the announcement after the film’s release,” he said, referring to his upcoming movie, “The Battleship Island”.

“There were many unfounded rumors about me and Hye-kyo, and there were times I was upset about that,” he explained. “That’s why I decided to reveal everything.”
Aside from discussing the love of his life, Joong-ki also shared his admiration for fellow Korean actor Cha Tae-hyun.
