A mega-wattage celebrity couple has been born, after national heartthrob Jang Dong-gun and actress Ko So-young tied the knot Sunday.

The couple, both 38, wed at the Shilla Hotel in a private ceremony where about 500 family, relatives and friends were invited.

High-profile guests included movie stars Lee Byung-hun, Jung Woo-sung, Song Seung-hun and Kwon Sang-woo and his wife Son Tae-young. Other stars that made the wedding seem like a red carpet event were singers Rain and Lee Jung-hyun, and actors So Ji-sup, Synn Mina and Lee Jung-jae.

Jang and Ko appeared before the press for a short photo session. Scores of reporters and fans ― including over 200 from Japan ― were also seen lining up to get a glimpse of the stars hours ahead of the event at the hotel in Jangchung-dong, Seoul.

“The public attention we attracted was at times pleasant and other times burdensome, but today I am only thankful,” said the groom. “I don’t know if it’s a boy or girl yet, but personally it would be nice to have a daughter who looks like Ko So-young.”

Ko is already three months pregnant, Jang’s management agency AM Entertainment has said. “Thank you. We will try our best to have a happy life,” added the mother-to-be.

Lee O-yong, former culture minister and renowned author, officiated at the marriage. He is the father of Lee Sng-moo, who directed Jang’s Hollywood debut piece “The Warrior’s Way.”

The two will honeymoon in Bali, Indonesia and live in a villa in Heukseok-dong, Seoul.

The two met on the set of the 1998 film “Love Wind, Love Song” and became friends. They made headlines last fall when they admitted that they had been dating since 2007.
In June, the Jang will start his next film project, “D-Day”’ Meanwhile “The Warrior’s Way,” due for release this summer, co-stars Kate Bosworth and Geoffrey Rush and was produced by Barrie Osborne, who is known for “Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.”

장동건, 고소영 결혼

장동건과 고소영이 일요일 결혼식을 올려, 국내 최 정상급 연예인 커플이 탄생했다.

38살 동갑내기인 장과 고의 결혼식은 500여명의 가족, 친지 및 친구들만 초대해 신라호텔에서 비공개로 거행됐다. 배우 이병헌, 정우성 그리고 권상우-손태영 부부가 참석했다.

이들 둘은 1998년 작 “연풍연가 (戀風戀歌)의 세트장에서 만나 친구가 됐다. 지난 가을 2007년 이후 연애를 하고 있다고 인정해 대대적으로 언론에 보도됐다.
