While not much is known about Joong Ki and Hye Kyo's wedding, the actor's father recently said in an interview that he was glad Joong Ki was getting married. He also revealed that there was no truth to rumours of him not approving of Hye Kyo, who played Joong Ki's character Captain Yoo Shi Jin's love interest in the drama.

"[Song Joong Ki] is at the best age to get married so I'm glad he's engaged. As parents, we've decided to respect our son's decision. People were saying I was against their marriage, but that's a misunderstanding," said Joong Ki's father.

He added: "Now that my son will be having a stable family after marriage, I hope he works even harder to become an actor who can also be responsible for his household. I think my son will be able to achieve that."

Joong Ki and Hye Kyo are all set to walk down the aisle on October 31.
