“That person stayed by my side, protected me, and waited patiently, like a strong tree, helping me find a safe space inside myself.

Kang expressed her excitement about their wedding preparations:

“We planned the wedding without any fighting or quarreling, planning everything like we’d been waiting for this moment. It felt like we were starting to date all over again.

The couple’s journey to marriage has been a long one. Kang mentioned that they had spent 17 years together before finally deciding to get married.

Kang Eun Bi made her acting debut in 2005 with the film Wet Dreams 2. She has since appeared in various television series, including Rainbow RomanceThe Vineyard Man, and My Too Perfect Sons.

In 2012, Kang briefly changed her stage name to Song Eun-chae but later reverted to Kang Eun-bi in 2016. Besides acting, she has also ventured into online streaming, becoming active on the South Korean platform AfreecaTV in 2017.

As Kang prepares for this new chapter in her life, she expressed gratitude to her fans:

“I will cherish all the well wishes of those who are bringing them in person and all the well wishes of those who are sending them from afar. I will do my best to live happily and repay you all.
