Actress Jeon Marries

Jeon Do-yeon, one of the most popular actresses on the Korean film scene, wedded a businessman nine years her senior in a private ceremony at Shilla Hotel in Seoul on Sunday.

The couple, who met last November through a mutual friend, tied the knot with the blessings from about 100 closest family members and relatives. Among Jeon's celebrity friends, only actor Lee Se-chang attended the tightly controlled ceremony.

Jeon, 34, had reportedly wanted the wedding ceremony be a private affair. Her husband, Kang Si-gyu, 43, is a wealthy company executive who earned an MBA from George Washington University in the United States, according to reports.

Jeon rose to stardom with hit films such as "The Contact" in 1997 and "Happy End" in 1999. Later ones include "Untold Scandal" in 2003, and "You are my Sunshine" in 2005. She also starred in the hit TV drama "Lovers in Prague" in 2005.

The newly weds will head to the United States for a ten-day honeymoon, and settle in upscale Chongdam-dong in southern Seoul.
