A rare glimpse of actor Lee Young-ae with her husband has been shared online.
Composer Kim Hyung-seok posted a photo on social media featuring himself alongside Lee, her husband Jeong Ho-young and Dr. Jang Il-young. In the image, the actress sits beside Jeong, looking effortlessly elegant as she smiles brightly at the camera.
The 55-year-old actress married Jeong, a Korean American businessman 20 years her senior, in a private ceremony in Hawaii in 2009. The couple welcomed twins, son Seung-kwon and daughter Seung-bin, in 2011. Jeong has previously drawn attention in Korean media over reports estimating his fortune at around 2 trillion won ($1.3 billion).

Lee previously offered a glimpse into the couple’s family life in the 2014 documentary “SBS Special: Lee Young-ae’s Supper,” which followed her quiet daily routine with their twins. The program drew attention for showing Lee not as a star, but as an ordinary wife and mother.
The actor is set to appear in an upcoming drama tentatively titled “Jae Yi’s Young In,” which will reunite her with Yoo Ji-tae 25 years after they starred together in the acclaimed romantic film “One Fine Spring Day.”
