In a report published on Nate, a representative for Eden 9 provided a statement, along with the photos. "Under the clear blue sky and May wheat field, the couple walked out to exchange marriage vows," said a spokesperson for Eden 9. "They received the blessings of both families, who watched in silence. Now they have a lifelong love."

The couple broke from the conventional concept of getting married at a posh wedding hall. Their ceremony was held within the flourishing meadows of a bed and breakfast in Jeongseon, Gangwon Province. In one photo, female guests are dressed in traditional hanbok while their male counterparts are in formal wear. Celebrities were not included on the guest list, which was reportedly restricted to friends and family.


On May 30, a representative for their agency provided a statement which confirmed their marriage and dispelled pregnancy rumors. "We wanted to have the wedding be as quiet as possible, as they make an ever-lasting promise," said a representative for Eden 9.


Won Bin and Lee Na Young are both represented by Eden 9. The couple reportedly began dating in July 2012 but their agency confirmed that the relationship started in July 2013.
Won is best known for his portrayal of Han Tae Suk in the K-Drama, "Autumn in My Heart" and his role in the hit action-thriller, "The Man from Nowhere."

Interview: Actor Won Bin

There are actors other than Won Bin who are good-looking. But very few can make one think during an interview, 'How could a human being be so good-looking?' And there are even less actors who can melt in the appeal their looks has into their acting. Won Bin in film "The Man from Nowhere" is such an actor.

Him appearing as the man who lives next door to girl Somi (played by Kim Sae-ron) may seem like fantasy but Won Bin knows how to utilize his looks and star quality in "The Man from Nowhere." He is precise in selecting the moments he will let his charm shine without harming the vibe of the movie. His ability to find that delicate point comes from his experience he has slowly been building on since his debut in 1997.

10Asia met with the actor to talk about how he became from the pretty-faced actor to the man next door.

10: I heard that when you debuted, you had wanted to become an actor after watching Choi Min-soo starer "The Terrorist." "The Man from Nowhere" also revolves around the action sequences of a single man. How did it feel?

Won Bin: It was fun. Many people worried that I might get hurt since there was so much action in it but I like moving about and sweating. I felt like I was playing a game doing the action scenes. I hadn't done this sort of action movie before so it was tough physically but it was also new so it felt like I was learning something.

10: It seemed like the style of action in particular in "The Man from Nowhere" was important. Like the blade Tae-shik uses to cut his hair, it was brief, simple and sharp. And it seemed that a lot of attention was paid to the fight scenes.

Won Bin: Director Lee Jeong-bum modified and combined three forms of Southeast Asian martial arts -- Silat, Kali and Arnis -- in a way that it would suit the movie. Cha Tae-shik used to be a special agent so he had to be swift enough to pin down his enemy instantaneously when he's attacked and we thought it was important that it be martial arts that can be put into practice.

10: What did director Lee say about your action moves?

Won Bin: Not once did he demand for something to be done a certain way. All he did was tell me about the emotional aspects of Tae-shik and he asked me to express Tae-shik's anger through the action sequences. He said he wanted me to express his outburst of emotions rather than just try to show a cool action scene.
