Jun Ji Hyun is expecting. The actress, who is currently promoting her upcoming film "Assassination," has announced that she is 10 weeks pregnant. The 34-year-old actress has been married to her husband non-celebrity banker Choi Joon Hyuk for three years and it will be their first child. Both are reported to be very happy about the news as they were hoping for a pregnancy this year.

Her agency, Culture Depot, spoke to the Korean media outlet Dispatch. They released a statement saying that it was still the beginning of her pregnancy, and the actress was being very careful.

"For the time being, Jun Ji Hyun will be focusing on her health and the baby. We sincerely thank everyone for their interest."

However, the actress has actively promoted and will continue, as much as possible, to promote her film, "Assassination," which co-stars Ha Jung Woo, Lee Jung Jae, Jo Jin Woong and Oh Dal So. In that film she plays a sniper who is so talented that resistance fighters break her out of jail to assassinate a Japanese army commander. The film is set in the 1930s during the Japanese rule of Korea.

The actress has so far attended all promotions and had about 50 interviews with media outlets. She did not want her pregnancy to detract from pre-release promotions for the film, but now that it is being released, she has decided to announce the happy news.

Jun Ji Hyun is best known for her roles in "You Who Came From The Stars," "My Sassy Girl" and "The Thieves." She co-starred with Kim Soo Hyun in both "You Who Came From The Stars" and "The Thieves."

She and her husband were childhood friends before being reacquainted as adults and marrying.

It is not known whether Jun Ji Hyun will retire from acting to care for her family. Her child is due in early 2016.

Congratulations Jun Ji Hyun!
