Lee Young-ae to be a mother
by | July 22, 2010 | 35 Comments

Top star Lee Young-ae (Sympathy for Lady Vengeance, Dae Jang Geum) has announced her pregnancy, which comes one year after she quietly married a Korean-American businessman.

A rep with her management company gave the statement that she is treading carefully at this stage and didn’t confirm how far along she is, although her father reportedly said that she is four months along. The rep also stated that contrary to some reports, she will not stop her studies. (Lee is currently working on her doctorate degree at Hanyang University.)

Lee, now 39, has kept her personal life quite private and married in secret in August 2009, in a ceremony that took place in Hawaii. She has been quietly attending school in the meantime, and the last time she popped up in the public eye was when she attended a basketball game with her husband in April.

Congratulations to Lee Young-ae.

    Thanks for the update, JB! Congrats to LYA!

    Btw.. there was media report of Moon So-ri’s pregnancy (after married 4 years) as well but she had a miscarriage recently. Is that true? :( I’m sorry if it’s inappropriate asking it here.

    Cool.

    While we’re on the subject, it’s strange how LYA’s website has been down for such a long time. Like it’s been permanently closed.

    I’m livid for this happy news. My heart sank a little when she was caught on her University campus interviewing about her secret marriage and future plans of upbringing a family, her tone was hopeless on bearing children, so this brings joyful tears being her fan.

    Her grace is moreso magnifying now. I’m lovin’ it! Wishing Lee Young-ae and husband a healthy pregnancy and speedy delivery of her first child.

  24. 24 Ina

    I think this is wonderful news!!! She can definitely have a safe pregnancy and delivery with modern technology. I have many friends who had normal, healthy babies well into their fourties!

  25. 25 Eeefu

    Congratulations to the couple!!

    Honestly I don’t want to hear any more news esp regarding this pregnancy coz I don’t want her to be tagged by the intrusive pap’zis, unless the news is released by her agency.

    Safety and a happy mood come first. Please give her a break.
