Two of the South Korean ace archers will get married in December, according to local reports.

Park Sung-hyun, 25, who won the gold in the women's team competition, will marry 32-year-old Park Kyung-mo, gold medalist of men's team event, on December 6 in Seoul, the South Korea Archery Association said.

The romantic relationship came to light immediately after the close of the Aug. 8-24 Beijing Olympic Games to the surprise of many archery fans.

Park Sung-hyun had won two gold medals in the individual and team events at the Athens Games in 2004 but failed to defend her individual title as she lost to Chinese Zhang Juanjuan in the final at Beijing Olympic Games.
