Lee Min Jung and Lee Byung Hun are now the parents of a healthy baby boy. Their son was born on March 31 at a Seoul hospital.

Lee Min Jung's agency MS Team and Lee Byung Hun's agency BH Entertainment issued a statement announcing the news and adding that both mom and baby are doing well.

"As responsible parents they will work to create a happy home and they hope for everyone's blessings," said the statement.

According to BH Entertainment, Lee Byung Hun has decided to postpone his overseas meetings so that he can stay in Korea and take care of his wife and their child.

He returned to Korea from the U.S. on Friday.

Lee Byung Hun has spent considerable time in the U.S. recently. He worked on the film "Terminator Genysis," in which he played a terminator robot, and was in talks with Hollywood producers about a new film role.

He will soon head back to the U.S. to film that movie, "Beyond Deceit," with co-stars Anthony Hopkins, Al Pacino, Dan Stevens and Malin Akerman.

"The exact departure date has not yet been set," a BH Representative told OSEN. "His first priority is to stay with his wife and child."

He previously appeared in the Hollywood productions, "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" and "Red 2."

Lee Byung Hun also released a statement to OSEN expressing his feelings about the birth of his child.

"This is a moment that makes me feel thankful and realize how precious the word family is," he said. "More than anything, I've been able to think deeply about what's most important through this experience of new life. I will continue to try and make up for the disappointment I've caused until now and show a better side. I just ask that you look upon the mother and newborn kindly."

Lee Byung Hun was the victim of a blackmail attempt in 2014 that ended in March 2015 with a suspended sentence for his blackmailers. While he was the victim in the case, his behavior prior to the blackmail attempt generated negative publicity. Lee Min Jung also received negative netizen comments although she was not involved in any part of the events that led up to the blackmail attempt.

The couple wed in 2013.
