South Korean star actress and amateur boxer Lee Si-young revealed Thursday she is four months pregnant and plans to get married.

On her Instagram, Lee wrote, “I have decided to marry the man I love this fall. It was a sudden decision, but after the drama series ended, my family and I made the decision. The reason why we set up our marriage so abruptly is because I am four months pregnant and awaiting becoming a mother in 14 weeks.”

Lee made her acting debut in 2008 in a guest appearance on season 3 of the TV procedural “Urban Legends Deja Vu,” followed by the historical drama “The Kingdom of The Winds.” 2009 was the year she began to attract attention with several high-profile supporting roles.

She added, “I found out about my pregnancy in the middle of filming, and though I was anxious and afraid by the sudden news, I thanked my baby for coming to me as a new human being. My future husband and I start a new beginning. I will be a good wife and mother with a more humble and appreciating heart. I will show our lives in making a happy household.”
