Former baseball player Um Jeong-wook directly shared his thoughts on his marriage to actress Jang Ji-an.
On the 9th, Um said, “Thank you so much for celebrating our beginning with your precious presence during a busy weekend. Thanks to your generous congratulations and encouragement, the two of us have safely embarked on the path of married life.” He added, “Everything still feels awkward and unfamiliar, but I will learn step by step, starting from pressing the rice cooker button. When we disagree in life, we will resolve things wisely by recalling ‘the caring eyes of the guests who watched over us that day.’”
He continued, “Just as that day was filled with delicious food and familiar faces, we will live so that laughter never ceases every day. Soon, we will prepare a modest gathering to repay your kindness with double the warmth and a warm meal.” He concluded, “As the seasons change, I sincerely hope you are always healthy and that your homes are filled only with pleasant events. Everyone who came to congratulate us at our wedding is going to win the lottery.”

The couple Um Jeong-wook and Jang Ji-an tied the knot on the 7th, exchanging vows at a location in Seoul.
Um drew attention by personally singing a wedding song at his own ceremony that day.

Jang Ji-an had previously shared news of her marriage, stating, “I am a free spirit who never considered marriage, but I ended up marrying Um Jeong-wook, the player who threw the fastest pitches in our country during his active years.” She added, “True to being the person who threw the fastest pitches, he captured my heart very quickly. After a short but deep romance, I became convinced that ‘I want to spend my life with this person.’”
Regarding Jang Ji-an, Um said, “I am a blunt person who doesn’t smile much, but she is someone who made me playful and brought out my laughter, showing me that I could change so much.” He added, “If you could offer words of encouragement to my bride-to-be, who believed in and followed me even though I had nothing, I would be truly grateful. Thank you so much. There will be no bad news from now on, so please congratulate us a lot.”
Jang Ji-an, born in 1983 and 44 years old by Korean age, gained recognition through the National Chunhyang Beauty Pageant in 2003. She has appeared in dramas such as “New Heart,” “2009 Foreign Investor Team,” and “SECRET Mother,” as well as films including “48 Meters,” “Trap,” and “The Road.” In particular, in 2022, she starred alongside Yoon Woo-jin in the film “Serve the People,” delivering bold adult scenes.
Um Jeong-wook, born in 1981, began his professional career as a pitcher when he joined the Pro Baseball Sangbangul Radars in 2000. He later transferred to the SK Wyverns and became known as the player who threw the fastest pitches in the history of Korean professional baseball.
