Since we’re still in the month of love, let’s take a deep dive into the enchanting world of Korean celebrity couples who are living out their own real-life K-dramas. These lovebirds have crossed paths in various ways – some met on the set, others bonded over shared interests, and some were simply drawn together by their mutual love for acting. But despite their diverse beginnings, all of these couples share a common thread – they are the epitome of relationship goals.
Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin
Hyun Bin (“Secret Garden“) and Son Ye Jin (“Be With You“) are the most loved Korean celebrity couple right now, as they have won the hearts of fans by sharing their beautiful love story. We have witnessed the evolution of their relationship, from colleagues to friends, and eventually to lovers who publicly announced their engagement, got married, and started a family with their beloved son. The two are literal proof that ‘happy ever after’ really exists in real life and as fans, we couldn’t be happier for the BinJin couple!
Ryu Jun Yeol and Lee Hye Ri
If there’s one Korean celebrity couple whose story truly warms my heart, it has to be the love story of Ryu Jun Yeol (“Little Forest“) and Lee Hye Ri (“Two Cops“). It’s simply adorable to discover that their on-screen characters may not have ended up together, but their hearts found each other in real life. If you’d remember, the two starred in the 2015 K-drama “Reply 1988.” Their romantic journey is straight out of a K-drama, and it’s such a delight to know that even after seven years of being together, they still go on sweet dates. Jun Yeol and Hyeri’s love is a testament to the fact that destiny has a way of bringing two hearts together, no matter what the circumstances are!
Park Shin Hye and Choi Tae Joon
Celebrating their first marriage anniversary, Park Shin Hye (“The Heirs“) and Choi Tae Joon (“EXIT“) also tied the knot last! After dating for five years, they finally exchanged vows in a breathtaking ceremony that was attended by some of the biggest names in the industry, who also happened to be close friends of the couple. Fast forward to the present, and the lovebirds are now living together with their adorable little bundle of joy – a precious baby boy who completes their happy family!
Shin Min A and Kim Woo Bin
One of the most beloved Korean celebrity couples in the industry, Shin Min A (“My Girlfriend Is a Gumiho“) and Kim Woo Bin (“School 2013“), have been going strong since they began their healthy relationship in 2015. The two have been through a lot when Kim Woo Bin was diagnosed with cancer in 2017, but Shin Min Ah stood by his side, offering unwavering support and care. It’s heartwarming to see that their bond has only grown stronger with time, and last year, they even had the opportunity to work together in a K-drama (although not as love interests). Their relationship is a testament to the power of love and the strength that it can bring during even the most challenging of times.
Lee Seung Gi and Lee Da In
A shared passion for golf brought Lee Seung Gi (“The Law Cafe“) and Lee Da In (“Alice“) together, and their love story has been nothing short of a fairytale romance. The two lovebirds have taken their relationship to the next level by getting engaged, and they recently announced that they will be tying the knot next month. Their engagement news received a lot of support both from Korean and international fans since a lot was rooting for their relationship.
Ji Sung and Lee Bo Young
The story of how Ji Sung (“Defendant“) and Lee Bo Young (“Whisper“) first met is one for the books. The two talented actors first crossed paths on the set of a K-drama way back in 2005. Ji Sung played the male lead, while Lee Bo Young was cast as the second female lead. Little did they know that their on-screen collaboration would lead to a real-life romance that would stand the test of time. Fast forward to today, and the couple has been happily married for a decade, with two precious little ones to complete their family.
Chung Kyung Ho and Choi Soo Young
Longtime celebrity couple, Chung Kyung Ho (“Happy Once Again“) and Choi Soo Young (“Fanletter, Please“) is one of my favorite couples. The two have been happily in love since 2013, and their romance shows no signs of slowing down. It’s heartwarming to see how supportive they are of each other, always cheering on their partner’s work and accomplishments. The two are also always seen going on cute dates and even double dates with Park Shin Hye and Choi Tae Joon! Watching them together is a reminder that true love can withstand the test of time, and that the right partner can make all the difference in life!
Kim Tae Hee and Rain
Kim Tae Hee (“Jang Ok Jung, Living in Love“) and Rain (“Welcome2Life“) are undoubtedly one of South Korea’s most beloved power couples. Having been together for over a decade, the couple’s enduring love for each other is evident in every aspect of their lives. They’ve built a beautiful family together, with two adorable children, and are the epitome of what it means to be relationship goals. Every time they share a glimpse into their lives, whether it’s through photos or interviews, it’s hard not to be in awe of the strength and beauty of their love. Kim Tae Hee and Rain are shining examples of how two people can build a life together that is both fulfilling and full of joy.
Kim So Yeon and Lee Sang Woo
Kim So Yeon (“The Penthouse“) and Lee Sang Woo’s (“Red Balloon“) love story is straight out of a romantic K-drama! The couple first crossed paths on the set of an MBC weekend drama in 2016, and from there, their love only continued to blossom. A year later, they exchanged their vows and became one of the industry’s most beloved married pairs. Their unwavering support for each other is apparent in everything they do, including appearing in each other’s projects. Lee Sang Woo even made a cameo in “The Penthouse 2,” a popular series starring his wife, just to show his support and admiration for her.
IU and Lee Jong Suk
Although their romantic relationship may have just bloomed recently, the story of IU (“THE Producers“) and Lee Jong Suk’s (“While You Were Sleeping“) love goes way back. Their friendship started over a decade ago when they shared the stage as co-hosts on the beloved K-pop music program “SBS Inkigayo“. Despite their busy schedules, they stayed connected and supported each other through the years. And when Lee Jong Suk received the prestigious Daesang award at the “2022 MBC Drama Awards“, he took the opportunity to confess his love for IU. Now, everyone is so excited to see where this sweet love story will take them next
At this point, I think we can all agree that these Korean celebrity couples are relationship goals! Let’s watch and support their shows on KOCOWA!
