Lee Young-ae Talks on Marriage

By Cho Jae-hyon

Staff Reporter

Actress Lee Young-ae expressed her position about her secret marriage to a businessman Tuesday for the first time since she returned home following their wedding last month at a resort in Hawaii.

At a 10-minute or so briefing to a throng of reporters who gathered at Hanyang University, she said her marriage does not necessarily mean an end to acting, though she declined to be specific about her future plans. Lee is taking a doctoral course at Hanyang University's Graduate School of Theater and Cinema this semester.

"I hope my fans understand (the marriage) as there are diverse forms of marriages though I'm sorry to my fans who love me. I just wanted to make it quietly,'' Lee said. "What's most important for now is to be faithful to marriage life.''

Lee asked the press to respect the privacy of her husband. "I have such a profound feeling going beyond love toward him. Everything about him is good to me. He is such a trustworthy and sincere man,'' she said. "If my husband were an entertainer, I would have disclosed personal information about him. But he is an ordinary person. So I hope you will keep that line too.''

She said she plans to study hard as it is part of the process to become a better actress. "I want to show the process of growing as an actress through studying the field I have worked for. The study is just an extension of my acting,'' the actress said. ``I will do my best.''

Lee returned home alone earlier this month after the wedding. Asked whether she has plans to study in the United States, she said it's unclear as for now.

Best known for playing the lead in the hit television drama "Jewel in the Palace,'' Lee married a 55-year-old man, identified only as Jeong. He is a graduate of the Illinois Institute of Technology, located in Chicago, and works in the IT industry in the United States.

Lee Young-ae in 1st Public Appearance Since Wedding

Star actress Lee Young-ae made her first public appearance since her secret marriage on Tuesday. She expressed her happiness over the first 20 days of her married life but remained reticent on the issue that most piqued her fans' curiosity -- her husband.

Lee, who had been playing hide-and-seek with media since she secretly married a U.S.-Korean businessman in Hawaii last month, held a press conference at the Graduate School of Theater and Cinema in Hanyang University, where she just started her doctoral studies.

Over 100 reporters lined up in the university from early in the morning to catch Lee heading to her first class. "I'm sorry to have confused you several times. I didn't mean to. I ask for your generous understanding as it involves good news," Lee said. She briefly mentioned her husband. "I've had a long-term relationship with my husband. My feelings toward him are deeper than just love. If he was in show business like me, I would have made his profile public, but he's not a public figure and doing so would be inconvenient in what he does, so we had a quiet wedding," said Lee.

Lee sparked speculation by keeping everything related to her marriage including her husband's exact age strictly confidential. Asked if she plans to have children, Lee replied, "I'm not that young anymore, so if it happens..." She said she plans to continue her acting career. After about 10 minutes of interview, Lee headed to a lecture room to have her first class.

Lee married in Hawaii on Aug. 24 and returned to Korea for her studies on Sept. 2.

李英爱签约新东家 与宋承宪成同门为复出打基础

Lee Young-ae sign up new company, team up with SSH to lay the foundation for comeback

搜狐韩娱讯 北京时间1月19日上午消息，据韩国媒体报道，去年因秘密结婚而引发很大话题的韩国女演员李英爱在1月初与韩国明星宋承宪的StromS公司签约，为今后的复出打下了基础。

According to Korean media on 19th, a secret marriage last year which caused a great topic, Korean actress Lee Young-ae in early Jan signed a contract with Korean star Song Seung-heon's StormS company, thereby laying the foundation for her future return.

StormS是韩国明星宋承宪在去年5月与原经纪公司解约后，独自成立的经纪公司。目前担任该公司社长的是曾与李英爱合作多年的李周烈，此次李英爱与StromS签约，担任社长的李周烈起到了很大的作用。

StormS is Korean star SSH's own agency company set up last May after ending his contract with his previous firm. Currently serving as president of the company is 李周烈, who has worked with Lee Young-ae for many years. President 李周烈 played a significant role in having LYA signed a contract with StormS.

李英爱在婚后一直只专注于学业，很少在公开场合亮相，因此有不少人猜测李英爱是否会就此退出演艺界。而这次李英爱签约新东家用行动澄清了退隐传闻。

Lee Young-ae after marriage, has since concentrated on her studies and rarely appeared in public, so there are a lot of speculations whether she will quit from the entertainment industry. However, with LYA signing a new contract the rumors are clarified.

Lee Young-ae signs on with new management

January 20th, 2010 // by javabeans

Lee Young-ae has signed with Song Seung-heon’s independent management company, Storm S Company, which is the firm Song established after his contract with his former management ended last year. While I don’t normally pay attention to news about actors’ management shifts, there has been a lot of speculation over whether Lee Young-ae would retire following her marriage with a Korean-American in 2009. Now that she has taken on new management, she is effectively putting those rumors to rest and sending out the message that she is open to new work.

At the time of her marriage, she had said merely, “If a good project came along, I’d act in it,” but had focused on her studies (she’s working toward a doctorate degree at Hanyang University). On the 19th, Storm S Company confirmed the news and explained that now that they have two A-listers onboard, they will be expanding their roster to bring in new talent. Song Seung-heon is one of a wave of big-name actors going solo and/or establishing their own companies, such as Choi Ji-woo, Bae Yong-joon, So Ji-sub, and Kim Myung-min.

Striking a balance in translation

By Yang Sung-jin Wednesday, February 17, 2010

The Korean Wave in Chinese-speaking countries across Asia has been boosted by well-made Korean TV dramas. Chinese viewers interested in Korean dramas may not know Debby Tung, but they have certainly benefited from her excellent translations. Tung, who is set to receive her doctorate degree in Korean literature at the Academy of Korean Studies later this month, is a veteran translator who has so far worked on some 90 Korean TV dramas.

"The most memorable drama was 'Jewel in the Palace' because it introduced Korean food in a very interesting way," Tung said. "Thanks to the success of the drama, many people in Taiwan and elsewhere began to enjoy Korean food."

Tung said "Jewel in the Palace," starring Lee Young-ae as a versatile cook and court doctor, successfully highlighted not only the delicacies of Korea's royal cuisine but also other healthy traditional Korean dishes that can appeal to foreign audiences.
