Enlistment Postpones Lee Tae Sung's Wedding Plans
Lee Tae Sung's wedding ceremony will have to be postponed yet again because the actor has enlisted for his two-year military service.
While the "Rooftop Prince" and "I Summon You Gold" actor did register his marriage last year, the couple has postponed their actual wedding ceremony several times. Now it looks like it won't happen until he has completed his military service.
Earlier this year the actor said he planned to hold his ceremony before he enlisted. But he was cast in and busy filming the drama "I Summon You Gold." Then in September, shortly after the drama finished, his agency, Glory MK Entertainment, confirmed reports that the 28-year-old actor had already received his enlistment orders. He had to report for duty before the end of October. The agency released a statement this week about his assignment as a full-time reserve officer.
"Lee Tae Sung has already started his military service and entered the 32nd division training camp located in Gongju," said the Glory MK representative. "He will officially become an active-duty reserve officer after five weeks of training. As he entered the military so suddenly, he was unable to continue with his wedding plans. He will have the ceremony once he gets out."
Lee Tae Sang shocked fans last year by admitting that he was already married to a woman who was seven years older and that the couple had a one-year-old son. At that time, he spoke about why there had not yet been a wedding ceremony.
After dating for a few years, he said, he and his girlfriend decided to marry then discovered they were going to be parents.
"We found out about the pregnancy while planning our wedding so for her health, so we decided to push back the wedding day," said Lee.
Every time they set a date, they were forced to reschedule. Shortly after their child was born, Lee's grandmother became ill and passed away. Fortunately, she lived long enough to see her great-grandson. Then his grandfather died and the couple decided not to have a wedding ceremony during the period of mourning.
"I was sorry that my wife had to get married without having a proper wedding," said Lee. "That is why I did my best to become a good husband and father."
When he announced his marriage in 2012, the couple hoped to have a ceremony within a few months but plans were delayed once again when he was cast in the weekend drama. Then he got his enlistment orders.
Hopefully, once Lee Tae Sang has completed his military duty, nothing else will interfere with their wedding plans.
