San Diego Padres pitcher Park Chan-ho on November 29th will marry Korean-Japanese Park Ri-ae in Hawaii.
Park's agent Team 61 on Tuesday also said the 13-story "Park Chan-ho Building" in Shinsa-dong, Seoul, is slated to open in time for his wedding.
His fiancee is a 29-year-old second-generation Korean-Japanese who has studied French cooking in Tokyo and New York. Her rich father ranked 76th in Japan in taxes paid last year with 281.7 million yen.
The couple met last year through the pitcher's acquaintance.
Built at a cost of ten billion won, the building will house a Volvo Motor sales branch, Team 61's Seoul office and the pitcher's scholarship foundation.
