The 36-year-old actor penned a heartfelt letter sharing that he proposed to the actress and that she accepted it. He also revealed the date of his wedding to be April 7, which sent the entire K-drama fandom into a frenzy.

Posting a handwritten letter is Korean celebrities’ go-to way of announcing their personal milestones. Taking to Instagram, the Vagabond actor surprised fans by sharing his love for Lee Da-in, who will soon become his wife:
“Hello, this is Lee Seung-gi. It seems that I have many reasons to write long posts this year. Today, I am relaying the most important decision of my life. I have decided to spend the remainder of my life with Lee Da-in, whom I love, not just as a couple but as a married couple.”
The actor added that he proposed to Lee Da-in and mentioned the date of their upcoming wedding as well. It’s uncommon for Korean celebrities to share their wedding dates with fans personally.

He continued:
“I want to share our happiness together, and even if there are difficult times in life, I want to overcome those difficulties together without letting go of each other’s hands. I hope you will show support for our future ahead, and we will live happily while continuing to give back to others. Thank you.”
On the work front, Lee Seung-gi was roped in to host a new JTBC idol survival program titled Peak Time. It is set to premiere on February 15 at 10.30 pm KST.
