Lee's agency HENEM said she will marry after delivering the baby. Her boyfriend is a mergers and acquisitions specialist eight years her senior. It did not give details.
Lee shocked fans on Monday by declaring her retirement on Instagram.
“The past days have been so difficult with various thoughts and pain,” she wrote. “I have decided to live a normal life from now on. I will live without forgetting the people that have given me love. Thank you.”
The agency said she terminated her contract, explaining: “There was time left for her contract with the agency, but she paid the penalty fee to settle the situation.”
