The two have been in a relationship for years which was first officially confirmed by the agency in 2013.

"It was a small family-focused wedding," an agency official said.

Since earning fame in the TV drama which spearheaded the so-called "Hallyu," or the Korean Wave, the 39-year-old actor has starred in many local blockbusters including "Taegukgi" and "Mother," directed by Bong Joon-ho. "Mother" had competed in the 2009 Cannes Film Festival.

The 36-year-old Lee made her debut as a TV commercial model and later earned a major place in the entertainment field.

The two have not appeared on the TV or the silver screen since the early 2010s except for some TV commercials. (Yonhap)
