Who is Honey Lee's husband?
Lee, a model, pageant-winner, actress, and classical singer was confirmed to be in a serious relationship with a non-celebrity in November. She met him in early 2021 "after being introduced by an acquaintance" following which they immediately hit it off due to similar interests and mindsets, according to Soompi. In response to the report, Saram Entertainment sent out a statement that read, "Honey Lee is in a serious relationship with someone who she was introduced to by an acquaintance early this year. However, as he is a non-celebrity, we ask for your generous understanding in order for there to be no harm caused by the release of his personal information or excessive attention. Please show warmth so they can continue their beautiful relationship in the future."
Lee and her husband didn't hold a traditional wedding ceremony considering the world is still battling a pandemic. "Considering the difficult times, instead of holding a wedding, the two got married on December 21 through a vow ceremony somewhere in Seoul that was attended by only their families. We hope you will send congratulations and blessings [to Honey Lee]," her agency wrote. They've requested privacy for the couple stating, "Honey Lee’s spouse is a non-celebrity, so we politely ask you to refrain from excessive speculation about his personal information. We ask for your kind understanding." As for her future as an entertainer, her agency wrote, "In the future, Honey Lee will return with a more mature image and good acting as an actress, so please give her a lot of attention and support."
