Kwon Sang-woo and Sohn Tae-young: The wedding frenzy
by javabeans
I’ll admit, I wasn’t really planning to cover Kwon Sang-woo’s wedding news, but it’s everywhere right now so I’ll highlight the key points:
- Kwon Sang-woo held a press conference on July 18 in Seoul’s Plaza Hotel to confirm the rumors that have been swirling since people got wind of his romance with fellow actress Sohn Tae-young yesterday.
- Approximately 300 reporters were in attendance, with some Japanese female fans as well.
- Sohn Tae-young was not present.
- …because the media are harassing her.
- The wedding date is set for September 28. The ceremony will take place at Shilla Hotel; the honeymoon is yet undecided.
- After acting in the drama I Am Sam and having a cameo on Iljimae, Sohn Tae-young had been the host for cable channel DongA TV’s beauty and fashion program Sohn Tae-young’s Life Magazine, which she is now quitting.
- She cites the sudden media flurry as her reason for the sudden departure; the heightened scrutiny would make it impossible for her to carry on her program as normal. The episode she recorded on July 17 was her last.
- She’s also suspended her drama and CF casting activities.
- That has caused people to wonder, will Sohn Tae-young retire completely?
- Kwon Sang-woo says she’ll keep working.
- The two lovebirds met when they were introduced through Kim Sung-soo, Kwon’s co-star in the recent drama Bad Love. He first met her when eating dinner with Kim Sung-soo.
- The proposal wasn’t fancy. He’d bought a ring, gotten nervous, and even cried, after which she hugged him.
- He’s never been to her place (“all celebrities tend to be extra careful before things are definite”).
- They did travel to Australia together, with “close friends.”
- He’d originally intended to reveal his wedding plans to his fans first, at this upcoming birthday-cum-fanmeeting on August 5. But the news broke early and pre-empted that intention. (Aside: Could you imagine the possible disaster that could have been? Look at the media craze now — imagine if the news broke at a fan meeting attended by all his adoring female fans. Hilarrrrious.)
- He says Sohn treats his mother extremely well, one of the reasons he fell for her.
- He also wants to be a father.
- But it’s “absolutely not” because she’s pregnant! Her mother refuted claims that the speed of the announcement suggested a shotgun wedding.

I don't care if he wants to married coz that is natural for human being...but I feels very disappointed about his choice. I think his choice is not fix with his type of women he wants to be his wife like he stated before...what I think now man today look more beauty than other things that is so bad thing. However I wish he and STH will happy and stay together forever because I so bored hear the divorce news about celebrities and the reason is there is no understanding more...

kind of disappointed, but I'm happy for him . . . cause he looks really happy. don't know much about her, but if the rumors are out there that she might be pregnant, maybe there was a scared in their relationship that she could have been and he is now taking the big step to make sure if it does happen at least they are married. :)
