Actress Kim Ha-neul is set to tie the knot with a businessman Mar. 19 next year, a local newspaper reported Friday.

“The wedding date has been set and the actress is selecting her wedding gown and the wedding hall,” said one of Kim’s close friends in an interview with the daily. “She’ll probably have her wedding at a luxury hotel like Four Seasons or Shilla hotel.”

The actress has been romantically involved with the soon-to-be husband for a year, and the groom is known to be a competent businessman with dashing good looks.

Making her debut in 1996 as a professional model, Kim has been active on both small and big screens, garnering huge popularity through a number of hit rom-coms “Romance,” “On Air,” and “A Gentleman’s Dignity.”

The 36-year-old is set to return to the silver screen through “Don’t Forget Me” later this year.
