Korean actor Ryu Seung-beom, 40, has become a father.
"Ryu's girlfriend gave birth to a daughter last week," said Ryu's agency SEM Company on Tuesday. "The delivery was expected later this month, but the baby came earlier."
The mother and baby are healthy, the agency added.
Ryu's girlfriend is Slovakian. She is known as an artist mainly working in France and is 10 years his junior. Further details are unknown.
In the June 11 statement, the agency said Ryu was staying in France with his bride-to-be and planning a "small wedding ceremony" this year with only family and friends.
Ryu debuted in 2000 in the film "Die Bad," directed by his older brother Ryu Seung-wan. He has starred in several hit films such as "Crying Fist" (2005), "The Unjust" (2010) and "The Berlin File" (2013).
