Actress and TV show host Han Hye-jin will marry her Premier League footballer boyfriend Ki Sung-yueng in July, her agency said Friday.

“Han and Ki have decided to get married this summer, after considering each other’s schedule,” Han’s agency, Namoo Actors, said in a press release. The agency said that the couple had “very recently” decided to tie the knot and details of the wedding including the exact date, the venue and others had yet to be set.

Han and Ki, who had known each other for years before they started dating in January, have been one of the hottest couples in the country due to their strikingly good looks, fame and money on top of the fact that Han is eight years senior to her 24-year-old beau. The cheerful and perky Swansea City AFC midfielder has openly expressed his affection toward the leading lady of box office hit, “29 years,” through social media including Twitter. The actress denied pregnancy rumors.

Still, the couple may have to remain apart for a while even after the wedding due to their hectic schedules -- while Ki may have to spend most of his time in the U.K., Han’s new movie, “When a Man Loves a Woman,” has just begun filming. She is also to keep her seat at entertainment show “Healing Camp.”
