Won Bin & Lee Na Young Wedding Photos

On May 31, Eden 9 released photos from the private countryside wedding of stars Won Bin and Lee Na Young. In the pictorial, the 37-year-old actor looks regal in a double-breasted suit while his 36-year-old bride is gorgeously styled in an overall lace gown.Their picturesque nuptials were initially reported by the Korean outlet Dispatch on May 30.

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."

Lee Jong Hyun

LIFE & CAREER

 

Early life

Lee Jong-hyun was born on May 15, 1990, in Busan, South Korea. His family consists of his parents and 2 older sisters. He lived in Busan before his family moved to Japan when he was four years old. His family moved back to Busan and he finished his elementary school and middle school there.

In 2010, he was the second generation member in the BEST NINE SCHOOL ULZZANG (meaning #2 ulzzang), with another CNBLUE member Jung Yong-hwa, Block B's Jaehyo, Lee Joon, and BAP's Himchan, who were the first, third, fourth and fifth generation members respectively.

The talent scouter from FNC Music (currently known as FNC Entertainment) who visited Busan to see Yonghwa, came across Jong-hyun in the street, and suggested scouting immediately. On his way to his audition, he met his current fellow CNBLUE member Jung Yong-hwa at the Seoul Station. They then met Kang Min-hyuk, also a current fellow member of CNBLUE, at FNC Music where they auditioned. Eventually, only the three of them passed the auditions and Lee began training in bass technology at FNC Academy.

Before Lee embarked on his musical career, he was a judo athlete who won a gold medal in a judo championship amongst athletes in his hometown when he was in high school. However, he decided to give up on sports upon realizing that this was not the field that he would excel in after losing in a match in just a few seconds. He then started to focus on music. At first, he learned singing, then piano. Then, upon watching an English singer-songwriter and guitarist Eric Clapton playing the guitar, he was inspired to learn to play the guitar.

 

Music career

Lee debuted with CNBLUE in South Korea on January 14, 2010 with their lead single "I'm a Loner". Before their Korean debut, they debuted as an indie band, with Lee being the leader, in Japan in August 2009. Jung Yong-hwa then took over his place following the band's Korean debut. They made their major debut in Japan in October 2011.

Lee, together with Jung Yong-hwa, has also been making significant contributions to the band by composing songs which were released in Japan and Korea. He composed songs such as "Blind Love", "Lie", "Rain of Blessing", "Kimio", "My Miracle", "Come On", "No More", "These Days" etc., which all gained positive feedback. "Come On" ranked number 5 in Oricon's Weekly singles chart while "Blind Love" ranked number 4. "Get Away", one of his compositions, was used as ending theme song for Japanese broadcast of American TV series Gossip Girl. Jong-hyun revealed that he composed "These Days" when he was a trainee.

Lee sings "My love" OST for SBS Drama A Gentleman's Dignity which he starred in. The OST song was Lee's first solo release since debut as singer. The OST charted high on various Korean digital music charts for many weeks and become one of most popular Korean Drama OST in 2012 and win him OST Award from Seoul Music Award. "My Love" placed No.6 on Billboard K-POP Hot 100 2012 Year End Chart and placed No. 15 on South Korea's National Gaon Yearly Single Chart.

Lee and his fellow label-mate Juniel formed a duo called "Romantic J" and released a Winter Special Digital Single Album with the single "사랑이 내려 (Love falls)". The song was composed by himself and written by Juniel. The teaser for the MV was released on December 5, 2013 at 12AM KST and the full MV was released on 12NN KST at the The FNC Official channel. Together with the MV, the making, commentary by Romantic J and CNBLUE's Lee Jung-shin, and the recording films were released. The song peaked #27 at Melon chart.

Jong-hyun acted alongside fellow CNBLUE member Kang Min-hyuk who played his brother Kim Hae-won in the second part of the movie called "Bakery Attack". The movie revolves around the story of two brothers who love music but could not make ends meet with it. The older brother decided to sell his guitar but his younger brother accidentally lost it. They found the guitar in a bakery in Hongik University and learned new insights about music from the bakery owner.

KBS2 Drama list Jan To May 2015

It's been a long time. I didn't know I'll be MIA for a long time... I thought I'll just stop coming back but here I am again. Trying to fill in something... So, where should I start? back to January? or just start where ever I stop? Hmmm let see....For now I'll just list down the must watch drama in starting from January until May from KBS2

Healer (힐러)

Must watch!
Love this drama... it's like watching someone stealing your heart without you even know it.

It's an action romance. So, if you're expecting the Healer going to help the world like Superman or Captain America  than forget it. 

Oh I don't believe people who claimed  they only watched this drama because it's good. 

It's either Ji Chang Wook/ Park Min Young, you name it.

Blood (블러드) 

To be truthful, this is not really my favorite one.

And that doesn't mean it was bad, just not on my fav. list that's all. 

It failed to get my attention to the fullest. But If you're into vampire mysterious love story this might be for you to watch.

Oh, I don't even really watch Twilight... now I know why this one didn't get my attention hahaha

The King's Face (왕의 얼굴) 

I really love Saeguk drama, I just can't help but keep checking on a good one.

Since this one is based on a well known Korean historical event, I believe this must be awesome. But seriously.... it's just too complicated. Hahaha

Historical note:

"Prince Gwanghae is considered a progressive and real politic king of the time that get removed from the thorn by a coup of the old guard nobility."

 
 

Unkind Women (착하지 않은 여자들)  

I guess the reason why I love this drama is because of the way it describe women in every generation way of thinking. Since I'm an independence woman. I found some of the character in this drama has great similarity to me. 

Finally, something that close to reality is on air.

 
 

  

 Spy (스파이)   

The reason this one goes in my fav list is quoted below. Not that perfect but nice!

"If there ever was a shining redeeming quality to this show, it would be by far the men in this family. I could fill pages about Dad and his steadfast devotion to his wife and children, along with his willingness to protect his family. His helplessness in the time when he knew that there was nothing he could do broke my heart, but how could you not love a jolly, honorable family man? And wouldn’t you know that Sun-woo takes after his father in his own relationship with Yoon-jin (even if I was never sold on the romance). Coming across a hero who actually comes from a loving home with solid parent-child relationships is hard to come by, which makes me appreciate Sun-woo all the more." - Gumimohi's Review @dramabeans

Producers (프로듀사) 

Too early to mention it as my fav. one. But I'll keep on eye on this. Fighting!

 

Orange Marmalade (오렌지 마말레이드)

Yeah! my eyes refreshment is back! The first 2 episode was great. I'm still looking forward on the next episode... seriously, I guess I'm just being bias here. I'm not interested on vampire dramas but this one hahaha

Everything looks like webtoon in this drama... or is it just me? I know it was from a famous webtoon but since I haven't read or come across to the webtoon so I don't know. For now I'll just stick to watch.

(I'm definitely going to put some review on Orange Marlade. Wait & see... )
