SEOUL (KOREA HERALD/ASIA NEWS NETWORK ) - South Korean actress Gianna Jun is ten weeks pregnant and due early next year, her agency Culture Depot said on Wednesday.

"To be honest, it hasn't really sunk in yet. But I'm glad to see my family all happy for me," Jun, 33, said, asking fans for continuous interest and support for her recent film Assassination.

Last week, she became a target of media criticism after attending an interview with bodyguards who kept cutting off reporters. "Jun will focus more on her life as a mother-to-be," said her agency, offering a word of apology for last week's interview.

Jun is the star of the 2001 hit movie My Sassy Girl and the 2013 hit television show My Love From The Star. She married businessman Choi Joon Hyuk in 2012.
