Hip-hop artist and actor Yang Dong-geun plans to marry a woman he has been dating for a long time. His bride-to-be is also pregnant.

The artist updated his status in his KakaoTalk account to “Dad” to inform his close friends about the good news. A source close to Yang told a television entertainment news program on Jan 29, “Yang Dong-geun did not really care about the public’s eye, he always dated freely. Up to now he has been very happy with the news of his girlfriend’s pregnancy.” The source also stated that the couple is happily planning their marriage, especially as they are expecting a baby now.

Meanwhile, Yang is currently filming “The Punisher,” a film about mass bullying in Korea. The movie is a hardcore action thriller in which Joon-suk (Joo Sang-wook) takes revenge on Chang-sik (Yang Dong-geun), who harassed Joon-suk in high school.
