"Jewel in the Palace" star Lee Young-ae has married a South
Korean businessman in the U.S., her lawyers said.
The 38-year-old South Korean actress wed a 54-year-old
businessman who works at an information technology company, the
Dongin Law Group said in a statement sent to The Associated Press
on Wednesday.
Lee plans to keep her husband's identity secret and won't
release photos from Monday's wedding, which was attended only by
family members and close friends, Dongin said.
She will move to the U.S. but continue her acting career in
South Korea, it said.
Lee became hugely popular across Asia for her starring role as a
late 15th century royal doctor in the 2003 TV drama series "Dae
Jang Geum," or "Jewel in the Palace." Her movie credits include
"J.S.A: Joint Security Area," a thriller about the friendship
between South and North Korean soldiers guarding their border, and
the romance "One Fine Spring Day."
Her last film, director Park Chan-wook's "Lady Vengeance," was
released four years ago. She played a wrongly convicted murderer
who seeks revenge after her release from prison.
So happy for her!
