Actress Lee Young-ae has become a mother of twins, a boy and girl, an official at Lee's agency Storm S Company said Monday.
The heroine of hit TV series "Jewel in the Palace," 40, gave natural birth to the twins at a hospital in Seoul on Sunday morning. All three are healthy and are planning to leave the hospital sometime today.
Lee had taken all of Asia by surprise in August 2009 after unexpectedly marrying a 55-year-old Korean-American businessman in Hawaii.
After the marriage, she had shot television commercials while studying for a doctoral degree in theater and cinema at Hanyang University but halted all activities after becoming pregnant.
