Details about the wedding have not been confirmed. The couple is still deciding who will officiate the wedding and who will sing a congratulatory song.

"We want fans to show their love and encouragement, as Lee is about to take a leap to start a new life", the agency said.

"She will also continue to show her due diligence on her work as an actress, and the agency will also support her".
