Actress Lee Young-ae's agency has confirmed that the heroine of smash hit TV series "Jewel in the Palace" is four months pregnant.
"It is true that she is pregnant and we were going to inform the press at an adequate time because this is when a pregnant woman is most cautious but it seems like the news has gone out through her father," Lee Ju-yeol, chief of Lee's agency Storm S Company told Asia Economic Daily over the phone on Friday.
He had also explained that they do not know yet whether it is a boy or a girl but both sides of her family are happy over the news.
Lee Ju-yeol added that the actress plans to halt all activities and focus on prenatal care until she gives birth.
Best known for her role in hit TV drama "Jewel in the Palace", Lee took all of Asia by surprise last year when she married a 55-year-old Korean-American businessman in Hawaii.
