[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bong-ju] Actress Kim Cheong recently shared an update on her life, revealing a photo of herself wearing a pure white wedding dress.

On the 26th, TV Chosun's 'Star Docu My Way' featured the story of Kim Cheong, who dreams of a turning point in her life.

Kim Cheong revealed for the first time in a long while her appearance in a wedding dress, which she last wore 40 years ago during her debut stage at the 'Miss MBC Selection Contest.'

She confessed, "Wearing a wedding dress fills me with a strange thrill," adding, "I want the wedding dress to be a turning point in my life and to live a new life as Kim Cheong."

After 40 years since her debut, Kim Cheong is challenging herself as a singer and visited a dress shop to prepare stage costumes for her appearance on 'Immortal Songs.'

She also shared recent updates about spending time healing as a natural person, not as an actress, in Pyeongchang, Gangwon Province.

To see Kim Cheong, her close friend actress Lee Mi-young visited her. The two revealed that they were distant in their younger days but became close after filming a drama together, sharing stories and laughter.
