Actor Shim Hyung-tak Ties the Knot in Seoul Following Ceremony in Japan

Actor Shim Hyung-tak had another wedding ceremony in Seoul on Sunday after tying the knot with his Japanese girlfriend in the island country last month.

Many stars and celebrities gathered to give their blessing to the newlyweds.

Earlier this month, Shim posted photos with his bride in both traditional Korean and Japanese dress on Instagram, revealing their impending Korean-style wedding. He also left the message, "I'm going to put together the last piece of a puzzle in my life."

Shim and Saya Hirai, who is 18 years his junior, dated for about four years after they first met when Shim visited Japan for an endorsement deal with a Japanese toy company.

Shim, who is keen on action figures and animation characters with a special focus on "Doraemon," the hit Japanese manga series, instantly fell in love with Hirai -- who worked for the company at the time -- and reportedly tried hard to win her heart.
