On May 30, the Korean outlet Dispatch reported that Won Bin and Lee Na Young were married through a private ceremony in the countryside. The report included paparazzi photos of the wedding location. According to the article, the star couple tied the knot at a country bed and breakfast in Jeongseon.
Dispatch reported that there were 50 guests in attendance, which was limited to family members. There were allegedly no celebrities in attendance, most likely to maintain the sense that it was an intimate event. The report went on to state that no celebrities had knowledge of the event when they were contacted by the outlet.
The report was substantiated through a statement provided by a representative for their agency, Eden Nine. "We wanted to have the wedding be as quiet as possible, as they make an ever-lasting promise," said a representative for Eden Nine.
The official for the agency also denied rumors that Lee Na Young is pregnant, which led to the secret wedding. According to the representative for Eden Nine, the couple received the approval of their parents for their nuptials and were not under pressure due to pregnancy.
These statements addressed reports that were published on May 20 which hinted at the possibility of marriage due to an unplanned pregnancy. Their relationship has made headlines since it was revealed in October 2013.
Won Bin is a 37-year-old actor who debuted in 1997. He was initially a teen heartthrob before experiencing widespread success in 2000 for his role in the Hallyu hit, "Autumn in my Heart."
