Epik High’s Tablo and film actress Kang Hye-jung married on the afternoon of October 26 is Seoul in a closed ceremony, but have released official photos of the event through Kang’s management, YG Entertainment.

The photos are lovely and capture the couple looking happy on their big day. Kang took her vows, saying, “If in the far-off future someone were to ask me what my life’s achievements were … I would say that it was the time I spent living by your side, spending forever with you, loving you and holding you.”

Tablo and Kang Hye-jung tie the knot

javabeans — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 01:26:34 +0000

Ever since quirky actress Kang Hye-jung (Herb) and Epik High rapper Tablo announced their relationship earlier this year, they’ve been very open with their affection for each other, and announced last month that they were expecting their first child. The couple had been intending on marrying next year, but the news spurred them to push up the date, and now the day has come: their wedding, which will be closed to the public, takes place tomorrow (or today, by Korea’s time), on October 26.

The ceremony, which will be closed to the public, will take place at the Bailey House in Seoul’s Samsung-dong neighborhood and only be attended by the couple’s family and a small number of friends. It will be emceed by fellow Epik High-er Mithra Jin.

Following the wedding, the newlyweds will take off for Europe for their honeymoon, after which they’ll move into an apartment in Yongsan to begin their married life together.

Lee Young-ae gives her first post-wedding statements

javabeans — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 19:01:00 +0000

Newlywed actress Lee Young-ae shocked the industry by getting secretly married in Hawaii last month. She made the initial announcement through her management, but had not spoken to the press after returning to Korea to resume her studies (she is currently working toward a doctorate degree at Hanyang University in its theater and film department).

Not one to let an opportunity slip them by, reporters found Lee Young-ae on the Hanyang campus as she began her new term, and ambushed her with questions. I find it remarkable that Lee kept her poise and answered questions that were obviously unwanted, and did so without whacking a reporter in the process. But then again, she’s an old pro who’s been on the A-list ranks for years, so perhaps she’s had a lot of practice.

Tablo and Kang Hye-jung are pregnant and engaged

javabeans — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 01:37:14 +0000

Epik High rapper Tablo and actress girlfriend Kang Hye-jung are expecting! In light of this news, they’ve also announced their intention to marry next month.

I don’t think this is particularly surprising news to people who have followed this lovey-dovey couple’s courtship; they’ve been dating for almost a year and been very open about their romance, as well as posting affectionate messages on their respective mini-homepages. Kang, quirky actress of films like Welcome to Dongmakgol and Herb, is currently five weeks pregnant.

The couple has made their formal pre-wedding bows with both families and will have their wedding ceremony in October. Congrats to the happy couple!

Jang Jin-young was secretly married

javabeans — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 02:14:01 +0000

Perhaps to ease the sad news of losing 35-year-old actress Jang Jin-young to cancer yesterday (Korean time), the press has been highlighting the fact that Jang left this world having enjoyed a fulfilling career and, as it is now being reported, love life as well. News is circulating that Jang had actually secretly married her boyfriend (only identified as Mr. Kim, 43) with a small wedding ceremony in the States in July, where she was receiving treatment. The couple then went through the paperwork to legally register the marriage in Korea on August 28, just days before her September 1 passing.

The marriage was evidently kept secret not only from her management, but also their families. A reporter’s call with Kim’s father, a former member of parliament, led to an incredulous denial. However, a source at the Seongbuk-gu (a Seoul district) city office confirmed, “The two have completed the marriage registration, and Jang Jin-young and Mr. Kim were legally spouses.” An employee at the office said that Kim came to the office in person with Jang’s official identification and registered the marriage.

Kim père said, “I’ve never heard this before. She was going through a time where she needed to focus on treating her illness, why would she have married? We have no connection to Seongbuk-gu, and it makes no sense that they would have registered their marriage there.”

The city official explained that because of Kim’s area of residence, he is eligible to handle civil matters in any district of his choosing. The Seongbuk-gu office was in the vicinity of the hospital where Jang was re-admitted.

Since her death, a steady stream of celebrities and friends have been paying their respects to their deceased colleague. (They include: Lee Byung-heon, Jeon Do-yeon, Han Ji-min, Song Il-kook, Song Hye-gyo, Jung Jun-ho, Kim Ah-joong, Kim Jung-eun, Lee Beom-soo, Hwang Jung-min, Yoo Sun, Im Soo-jung, Kim Joo-hyuk, Park Hae-il, Han Jae-seok, Lee Jung-jae, Han Ji-hye, Kim Seung-woo, Lee Seung-yeon, Kim Seok-hoon, Eom Ji-won, Park Kyung-lim.) The funeral procession will take place on the morning of September 4.

Lee Young-ae marries quietly

javabeans — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 06:20:44 +0000

Wow, this is a surprise. One of Korea’s premier actresses, Dae Jang Geum and Sympathy for Lady Vengeance’s Lee Young-ae, got married in a quiet ceremony in the States on August 24, attended only by a small group of family and very close friends. The announcement was made on the 25th through Lee’s legal rep.

The lucky man is a Korean-American businessman working in the IT industry identified only as Mr. Jung, who attended university in Illinois. The reason given for holding the ceremony in the U.S. is because the groom’s family and friends live there. Lee Young-ae did not divulge further details, concerned for the private life of him and his family.

The bride intends to live her married life in the U.S., although she stated the intention to continue acting and return to Korea for filming if a good project were to come her way.

Lee Young-ae said, “I truly thank all the fans who have supported me and given me love through the years, as well as those in the entertainment industry. In a short while, I will pay you my formal respects.”

Lee Seon-kyun serenades his bride

javabeans — Sat, 23 May 2009 22:45:22 +0000

Lee Seon-kyun (34) married his 33-year-old bride Jeon Hye-jin on May 23; the event was closed to the media but the couple has released official photos of the ceremony.

The day was emceed by Lee’s good friends, actor Oh Man-seok and Hong Sung-bo, and featured a serenade by the groom himself, as well as songs by actor Kim Chang-wan (Coffee Prince) and indie artists Zitten and Tearliner. I am officially jealous not only of the bride’s good fortune but their awesome musical lineup.

The song Lee sang was the one he’d also sung for Coffee Prince co-star Chae Jung-ahn (who was in attendance), titled “Ocean Voyage” (listen below).
