Rain announces marriage with longtime girlfriend, actress Kim Tae-hee

SEOUL, Jan. 17 (Yonhap) -- Singer Rain announced Tuesday he plans to marry Kim Tae-hee, an actress he has dated for over four years.

"I am going to be a good husband and man as a head of one family," he said in a handwritten letter posted on his Instagram account earlier in the day.

"She has always kept her place beside me whenever I am in hard times or happy and showed affection in many ways," he said.

The date of marriage was not given, with Rain only saying, "Regarding the time and the wedding ceremony, (we) plan to have them in the most quiet and holiest manner possible given the unstable national mood and economically difficult time."

The 35-year-old Rain and the 37-year-old Kim met each other on a TV commercial set in 201l and officially started dating in the fall of 2012.
