Actress Bae Jong-ok married off only daughter last year

Actress Bae Jong-ok, who raised her daughter alone following a brief marriage to an airline pilot in 1993, revealed that her only daughter married last year. The news emerged on the 22nd after a hanbok company released images of the wedding attire commissioned by the actress.

It has been belatedly revealed that actress Bae Jong-ok married off her only daughter last year, welcoming a son-in-law into her family. This unexpected joy comes to her after years of raising her daughter alone while balancing her life as an actress with the responsibilities of motherhood. Interest in the quiet family celebration has intensified following the release of the hanbok worn by the mother of the bride at the wedding.

According to reports on the 22nd, Bae Jong-ok's only daughter held her wedding last year and started a new family. The news of the marriage drew attention recently due to a video released by a hanbok company. The company introduced that Bae Jong-ok had commissioned mother-of-the-bride hanbok for her daughter's wedding, which revealed that she had already sent her daughter off to marriage and gained a son-in-law. As images from the wedding were released, congratulations from fans have continued to pour in.

This news feels particularly special because Bae Jong-ok has raised her daughter as a single mother for a long time. Bae married an airline pilot in 1993 and gave birth to her daughter, but the marriage ended after approximately one year. Since then, she has raised her daughter while balancing her acting career and parenting without remarrying. Behind her glamorous life in the entertainment industry lay the time she spent being responsible for both her work and her family.

In July, Bae Jong-ok appeared on the YouTube channel "Song Seung-hwan's Wonderful Life," where she spoke candidly about her life following her divorce. At the time, she drew attention with her calm attitude, stating, "I have never had a hard time after the divorce. I was not having a hard time." Her composure, which did not describe the experience of divorce solely as pain or injury, garnered interest.

She explained that life after the divorce was actually more comfortable. "It was actually more comfortable, and since my mother took care of everything for the child, I just had to work," Bae revealed. She noted that her mother's help in raising her daughter was a great support in continuing her activities as an actress. While she raised the child alone, she did not bear all the burdens by herself, as family support served as an important strength in her life.

Bae Jong-ok has met the public for a long time by playing intense and diverse characters in various works. Born in 1964, she debuted as a specially recruited talent for KBS in 1985 and has demonstrated her presence in various works such as "More Beautiful Than a Flower," "My Husband's Woman," "Worlds Within," "That Winter, the Wind Blows," and "Mr. Queen." Much like her acting career built across different eras and genres, the way she has managed her own life has also drawn significant interest.

This year, she continues her active career appearing in Netflix's "The Art of Sarah" and JTBC's "Everyone Is Fighting Their Own Worthlessness." With the movie "The Perfect House" scheduled for release this November, her path as an actress is expected to continue.

For Bae Jong-ok, who raised her daughter for a long time, the daughter's marriage signifies a new start for a family and the opening of another chapter in life. As she had not greatly revealed her family's daily life to the public, the belated news of the marriage brought unexpected joy. Warm interest is gathering on how Bae Jong-ok, who has run tirelessly as an actress, will continue her new family time following her daughter's marriage.
