Jang Beom-jun, leader of alternative band Busker Busker, will be getting married next year to actress Song Ji-su, according to an official statement released by Chungchun Music.

The statement also revealed that the couple is expecting a child and will wed sometime this coming spring. The 24-year-old Jang originally intended to serve in the military starting next year but has decided to postpone his entry after hearing about his girlfriend’s pregnancy.

Busker Busker’s agency went on to announce that the band would temporarily suspend its activities to concentrate on each member’s individual projects. The Busker Busker trio rose to stardom on the audition program “Superstar K3” in 2011. As the season runners-up, the band gained a huge fan base and has so far released two chart-topping studio albums.
