“She wants to get married sooner”: Lydia Ko all set to tie the knot with Chung Jun, son of Hyundai businessman

New Zealand golfer Lydia Ko is all set to tie the knot with her partner of two years on 30th December in South Korea according to reports. The 25-year-old will marry Hyundai heir Chung Jun at the city’s Myeongdong Cathedral. The couple began dating around two years ago, declaring their relationship in an instagram post captioned “soon” and with a love emoji.

Chung is the son of Hyundai Card vice chairman Chung Tae-Young, who is considered one of the premier businessmen in Korea. Ko’s father said that he “thought Lydia should get married in two or three years later since she’s an active golfer right now, but she said she wants to marry sooner,” according to stuff.co.nz.
