Epik High leader Tablo, 29, and actress Kang Hye-jung, 27, wed Monday afternoon at the Bailey House, southern Seoul.

Few details of one of the year's most talked-about celebrity weddings were revealed but a press release by Tablo's management agency announced Sunday that the two were set to tie the knot at 1 p.m. at the residence-style wedding hall in Samseong-dong.

The private event, which, unlike other celebrity weddings, was closed to the press, was small in scale and included only relatives and a few friends.

Guests included hip hop artists Drunken Tiger, Yoon Mi-rae (aka. T) and Jung In, according to Yonhap News Agency. Tablo's fellow group member Mithra Jin hosted the event and hip hop duo Leessang took the stage as wedding singers, performing ``Leessang Blues,'' said the news wire.

The couple said that the wedding invitation, designed by a friend, was ``the most beautiful among items bearing our name,'' and the most memorable among gifts, in a press release.

On the day of the wedding, before walking down the aisle, Tablo shared his feelings online. ``I am happy, and we are going to live an exciting life,'' the 29-year-old wrote on me2today.net, a Korean micro-blogging service similar to Twitter.

The couple is set to depart Tuesday to Europe for their honeymoon and will reside in a home in Yongsan. They are also expecting a baby next year.

Meanwhile, Kang, who rose to fame through the award-winning film ``Old Boy,'' will make her onscreen comeback in ``Kill Me'' opposite Shin Hyun-joon. She was unable to attend the press preview for the movie, as it coincided with her wedding on Monday.

The romantic comedy about a heartbroken woman who hires a hit man to assist her suicide is set for release in theaters Nov. 5

Kang and Tablo had previously made their romantic status public, unlike many local celebrity couples. They made headlines in September by making their wedding announcement along with news of Kang's pregnancy.
