Seo Ji-seok

Actor Seo Ji-seok, 31, married a florist five years his junior at Patio 9 in Nonhyeon-dong, southern Seoul, on Saturday.

Seo said that he met his wife for the first time at a drinking party with acquaintances last year.

“I fell head over heels in love with her at first sight,” Seo said at a pre-wedding media conference. “I immediately asked her out and have followed her around ever since.”

He did not introduce his fiancee to the media, and the wedding was private.

“She is really close to my ideal type,” Seo said. “She is petite and pretty.”

Many fellow celebrities came to congratulate Seo including friend Heo Young-saeng, a former member of SS501, who was the host for the ceremony. Comedian Lim Ha-ryong recited a poem for the couple while IU, 4Men and Yuri Sangja sang celebratory songs.

Seo said that he hopes to be a father in two years. The newlyweds left for Bali yesterday to celebrate.
