Chinese actress Tang Wei to marry movie director Kim Tae-yong

Famous Chinese actress Tang Wei will tie the knot with Korean movie director Kim Tae-yong this fall, Kim’s agency announced on Wednesday.

The two first met during the filming of the movie “Manchu,” which Kim directed and Tang Wei played the female lead role in.

“The two first met each other as director and actress, and have now decided to become life partners this fall. The wedding will be held with close acquaintances and family only,” the agency said.

“The two became friends after filming ‘Manchu,’ and took a step further in October 2013, when Tang Wei visited Korea for an advertisement shoot,” the agency added.

“We first met in a movie and began to understand each other. We became friends and then fell in love. Now we would like to be life companions. Even though that means we have to learn each other’s language, the difficulty of it will also be one of the happiest moments of our lives,” the message sent from the two said.

“We believe that we will understand and cherish each other, like we always have. Above all, film will be our strongest surety. We thank all who support us,” the message was quoted as saying.
