Wedding announcements for Lee Seon-kyun, Ricky Kim
by javabeans
Is love in the air, or what? (Well, it IS spring…)
Well, Mr. Voice is off the market — Lee Seon-kyun of dramas Coffee Prince, White Tower, and My Sweet Seoul is getting married to his longtime girlfriend, Jeon Hye-jin.
The couple has been dating for six years, and is looking to marry next month (May 23, to be exact). Lee explained, “Hye-jin recently went on a solo trip for a month, and during that time I really missed her. I realized how empty it was without her. I want to be with Hye-jin forever.” The couple will hold a press conference on April 11 regarding their wedding plans.
He won’t have much time for a honeymoon, however, given that MBC’s drama Triple premieres in June. (Yaaayyy!! Okay, I gotta stop doing that. Must… keep… expectations… down…) Meanwhile, Jeon most recently acted in the movie The Naked Kitchen. She played So Ji-sub’s older sister in the drama I’m Sorry, I Love You, and I particularly liked her in the love-n-sex-themed cable drama Romance Hunter, where she was a career woman saddled with a dickish boyfriend.
Meanwhile, another wedding has been announced, this one for On Air actor Ricky Kim (28), who will marry musical actress Ryu Seung-joo (32). Kim is a half-Korean actor who grew up in Texas, and has been dating Ryu for the past two years. Ryu is currently performing in the musical Dreamgirls in the role of “Michelle Morris.”
Their ceremony will also take place next month, on May 4.

Awww thats really sweet. I'm happy for Lee Seon-kyun.
On another note though if this were a drama and Ricky Kim was marrying a girl 4 years older than him shouldn't there be massive hysteria.....

Congrats to Lee Seon-kyun and Jeon Hye-jin! Another one off the single scene.
Six years and the man can stil say ' really missed her. I realized how empty it was without her. I want to be with Hye-jin forever'. Sigh what a guy :)
Love love love!
With this recent flood of love in the k-celeb scene, it is refreshing that celebs can be open about actually you know..... having a life. The only question I have is why the sudden rush - ie time between announcements to wedding? Is this a cultural ie korean custom? Or just a celeb thing? LOL
Well at least with the wedding a little over a month away - perhaps it gives less of chance of major bridezilla/groomzilla happening.
Oh congrat to the other couple - although have no idea who they are!
(Have to confess to being a cynic for a sec when i read the dates for impending happy events - but it brought back the whole Kwon Sang Woo wedding 'fiasco' (well in my eyes anyway it was). A fan of the KSW but geez WTF was with the whole 'this is not shotgun' wedding lie.? Your having a kid not committing mass murder for crying out loud.)

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Why? Why? Why?
Lee Seon-Kyun was supposed to me mine!! I'm sure in a day or do I'll be ready to be happy for him... and, in all fairness, they've been dating for six years and I just discovered him about 9 months ago so she was there first. But, for now, I'm distraught!
Another one bites the dust!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Why? Why? Why?
Lee Seon-Kyun was supposed to be mine! I had it all planned out down to our three beautiful Blasian children with smooth voices and faces sexy glasses! This is positively the worst way to start my 28th birthday!
In all fairness, they've been dating for six year and I just discovered him last summer when I watched Coffee Prince so she was there first. And I'm sure in a few days (months) I'll be able to be happy for him but, right now I'm distraught!

Isn't that a minor coincidence?
My wife, completely independently of you guys, also calls Lee Sun Gyoon "Mr. Voice." I think its his "thing," his basso voce. In Coffee Prince, I respected his acting quite a bit. You guys remember the scene in Coffee Prince where he pulls off the side of the road on the way to the airport?
What an ensemble cast for Coffee Prince, wasn't it? The best overall acting (consistently high, by just about everyone) I've seen in a series.

I don't understand this news. How is Lee Seon-kyun getting married when we have sworn eternal love for each other forever??? Must be a false rumor. Must. Be. False.
@24 Snikki
Please....don't even mention My Gong Yoo (TM) and marriage in a sentence together (well...unless I'm in that sentence too). Your comment made me gasp just from the idea of it all.... :D

@39 - Liv,
I don't spend much time gawking at pretty pictures of people, even back before I was married. And certainly, I didn't spend much time at all looking at pics of korean guys. But lately, I've been spending more time looking at both the women and the men of K-drama universe. Why??? I don't know exactly? I'm not a crazy teenager trying to "be" like the next pop star, but I guess on some level, it matters to me? That's why sports fans (of all ages) wear jerseys, that's why fans dress similarly to their pop stars, etc. I think it boils down to an unconscious desire to be part of their world, the fab world populated by these fab people.

I liked Gong Yoo's acting quite a bit, but I didn't think he was that attractive in Coffee Prince. But even "I" have to give props to Gong Yoo for his body sculpting in the above pic. Rough estimate? 8% body fat...

I must say, you found just the right way to turn this post from a thing of mourning into a thing of beauty. I am now able to wish Lee Seon-kyun happiness with just a teensy weensy bit of snark. Good job! :D
@41 Icanhaz

#40 Samsooki - On the contrary, I think Gong Yoo was über hot in CP. His sartorial fashion styling on that series was impressive. I'm sure Liv agrees on this one. :)
And not to get off-track on the subject of this post, I'd like to say congratulations to both couples!

Yeah, call me a total cynic. Together for six years and just realized how much she meant to you? Either month away was nice touch, or baby announcement not far away. Or both? hehehe. Also, I always laugh when I hear announcements stating that the wedding will take place the following month. Is it some Korean policy to get engaged in secret and go public only close when to the wedding date?

I just read the Chinese press. Apparently Lee is going to be a father in December. After the KSW experience (where he denied the pregnancy before marriage), Lee decided that he didn't want to lie about the pregnancy. He also wants to accompany his girlfriend to doctor's visits, so he had to come out clean about the pregnancy. I was wondering why it has taken him 6 years to propose to his girlfriend. Now we know the answer.
