Lee Young ae's wedding pictures

AT last!!!

Here are some of Lee Young ae's wedding pictures published in Marie Claire Korea November 2011 issue where LYA graced the cover.












I purposely did not upload one of the pictures. If you will recall, LYA got married "secretly" and refused to name the man.

To view more pictures of LYA, visit the Marie Claire Korea website.

Dae Jang Geum II

After hibernating for a long time and turning down a lot of offers to appear in Korean dramas, Lee Young Ae is considering DJG II. Read the links below.

Should she accept the role?

You guys are all crazy!

The first fan site I joined was leeyoungae.net. What the heck, I told myself, I am not yet that old anyway. I will just lurk in the background…

When I joined the site, the discussion was so thick on a fish story started by one of the fans. I enjoyed reading the comments, the bantering between the fans while they were “writing” the story. They were all crazy, I said to myself. I think that was my first comment on the board: You guys are all crazy! To my surprise, nobody minded me.

If you have been visiting leeyoungae.net, you must have become familiar with some of the fans. Let me tell you something about them.

Number one on the list is wywoo, an engineer, based in the United States. He knows how to tickle us fans with his VODs that we call him master wywoo. Lately, he is into cooking and he is aging FAST! Last I looked at his myspace account, he was 88 years old; a month ago he was 77. Will he be 99 next month? Visit him at http://www.myspace.com/wy_woo to find out.

Then there’s Alice from Hongkong who is a professional oboe player. The spirit of volunteerism is so alive in her that she spends her free time teaching music to children. As far as I can remember, she has been to Harbin (China) and Berlin to see/be with YA. In Harbin, YA gave her a hug like a long lost friend when she introduced herself to YA and was even interviewed by Korean media. She recorded one of JITP's OST; when I find that particular recording in my files, I will share them with you.

My first encounter with Lee Young ae

Are you looking for Lee Young ae? You must have been, or your search would not have brought you to this site.

I am sort of a late-bloomer. The first Koreanovela I saw – a term we use to refer to Korean dramas - was, you guessed it right, Dae Jang Geum or Jewel in the Palace. A friend told me to watch it. By then, it was already on its second run in one of my country's networks. I don’t have the time, nay the patience, to sit for 30 minutes viewing so many commercials, which when put all together will be longer than the drama itself. Luckily for me, my sister’s friend, who is a Korean drama addict herself, lent me her complete set of JITP dvds.

Surf the net I did about JITP. And everytime I found a site about it, it was always about Lee Young ae. Thus, my “affair” with Lee Young ae and other things Korean started.
