Musical actors No Hee-chan and Choi Mi-so to wed

Musical actors No Hee-chan, 38, and Choi Mi-so, 37, are getting married.

No announced the news Friday in a post on his fan cafe, accompanied by a photo of the couple smiling at each other.

"A new beginning has come to me," No wrote. "I have found someone precious I want to spend my life with, and we are now ready to walk forward together in the same direction."

He said he felt both excited and cautious about sharing the news. "Looking back, you have always been with me in the time I have spent on stage," he wrote. "The warm cheers and applause from the audience have been a great source of strength and the reason I have been able to keep going as an actor. That is why I wanted to share this joyful moment with you."

No said he would cherish the stage even more as he begins a new chapter. "Although I am starting a new life as someone's spouse, I will love the stage even more and hold even more dearly the performances and moments we create together," he said. "I will not take your love and support for granted, and I will work to repay you with better performances on stage."

He closed by asking fans for their warm support. "I would be endlessly grateful if you could cheer on my new beginning with a warm heart," he wrote. "I hope your everyday lives are also filled with happy moments and love. Thank you."

Born in 1988, No made his debut in the 2011 musical "Special Letter" and built his career through productions including "Bungee Jumping of Their Own," "Laundry," "Human Research Life," "Midnight: Antlers," "Mary Shelley" and "Beasti." Most recently, he appeared in "On the Origin of Species," playing the role of Kim Hae-jin.

Choi, born in 1989 and a year younger than No, made her debut in the 2008 musical "Radio Star" and has since appeared in productions including "Mozart!," "Pimatgol Yeonga," "Grease," "Evil Dead," "6 O'Clock Clocking Out," "Hook" and "Aesop's Fables."
