Their second son, Jang Seung-heon, was born in November 2009.

Actor Jang achieved his career breakthrough in the 1999 drama series "The School," and has since featured in box office hits "The Slave Hunters," "Deep Rooted Tree," "Fated to Love You" and "Shine or Go Crazy."

Jang is currently in shooting for the Chinese film "Inside or Outside" (working title) in Taiwan, with occasional trips to Korea.
