Ryu Shi-won…to be married?
by girlfriday
But…you’re the forever-young playboy bachelor. You’re the Clooney. You’re messing with the order of the universe!
Well, this must be proof…you can’t stay a man-child forever.
Actor, singer, Hallyu star Ryu Shi-won (Style, Wedding) announced that he’ll be getting married on October 26. Cue wave of tears in Japan.
He also announced that his fiancée is pregnant, and that he’ll be a father this coming spring. Aw. How cute will baby Ryu Shi-won be?
The ceremony will be closed (as in private, not a red carpet affair) and the couple is reportedly planning a very low-key wedding for their closest family and friends. Ryu’s fiancée is a dancer, introduced by a mutual friend last year.
The 39-year old actor made his debut sixteen years ago in nineties mania-drama Feelings, making him one of the early Hallyu stars who still sells out concert venues and makes ajummas scream like little girls.
To me, you will always be this guy:

I also loved him the most in that drama... I liked him in Beautiful days as well but he wasn't the main actor so I liked him more in Honesty/Truth...

Too bad he and his highway to OTP got stomped on by Lee Byung Hun and his sad back and macho-man ways in Beautiful Days.
I never realized RSW was actually quite adorbs. Until Style, where he was the most sane object in that entire drama.
Digression, sorry. Congrats to Ryu Shi Won!

Along with Yamapi, Ryu Shi Won is one of my favorite non-actors. Meaning . . . you don't actually expect him to "act" in his roles, but he's still very likable, and he's a solid balladeer. He is to dramas what Jimmy Buffet is to magaritas.
Here's Ryu Shi Won performing his love song from Jang Nara/Jang Hyuk's drama Success Story of a Bright Girl . . .

Oh dude, watch Buzzer Beat. I was SO impressed with Yamapi. Give him a few eps and you'll see he can actually act in that one (or it was a fluke? IDK, I hope not). I was shocked, shocked, I tell you. FYI, I've always considered him a non-actor till BB. Now if only the j-dorama gods listened to me and have him play KimuTaku's long lost brother, I'd be happy.

Buzzer Beat . . . isn't that the drama where Pi made out with everybody?
"Now if only the j-dorama gods listened to me and have him play KimuTaku’s long lost brother, I’d be happy."
I don't know . .. Pi's been groomed to be Kimataku's Heir Apparent for so long (kinda like how Masami Nagasawa was groomed to be Matsushima Nanako.) The Chocolate Boy's beautiful as beautiful can be, but I don't know whether he'll be able to convincingly convey tears without looking like he's eating supersours.

Buzzer Beat is NOT a drama where Pi made out with everybody. I'm sure we are not talking about the same drama here. Definitely not.
Buzzer Beat is the drama where I was quite impressed with him and Aibu Saki.. That is to say, I saw them in a new light as actor/actress.

October must be a "lucky' month to have a wedding in Korea. Lee Soo Young had hers yesterday. Wonder if that means poor Jang Nara well have to make another quick dash back and forth from China to Korea {she suffers bad acrophobia or fear of flying} for his wedding?
Do not know how close they remained after making "Wedding' together.
Yes he is a smoker sadly..maybe that why he never changes expression when he acts..so not to crack his make up? lol just kidding.
Anyway hope he has a grand day.

Congrats Ryu, all the best to you and your bride. But right now I am having an issue with this. Is it a sin to use birth control in this country? I wonder about that a lot because it appears that very few persons actually use them there, this is shown a lot in their dramas and real life. Which I find in poor taste - what's wrong with practicing safe sex?
The other thing, is that I don't think we all need to know that she's pregnant, its early yet. We can find that out after she gives birth later, but this announcement to me is sort of tacky & redundant - like saying "we had sex, she got pregnant, I'm marrying her, ah well." Though I'm sure that's not what they meant, but I'm a bit tired of this as this has become a very common announcement among celebrities getting married. Cant you just say, we love each other and decided to marry, thank you for your love & support; the rest to be frank is really nobody's business per se. I admire Song Ill Kook for doing that, he got married some years ago and we don't even know if he's a father, which is fine with me. Yet he is still very popular with a good fanbase locally & internationally. I don't mind sharing good news to the fans, but sometimes we don't need all the information, some will do just fine.
Sorry for the mini rant, but I just had to say that.

A lot of them are strongly discouraged from marriage by their management. I think the pregnancy stuff for many of them is intentional. If they knock up their bride, management can pressure them less. Well, I think this was the case for Kimura Takuya.

Congrats to him and his wife. yeah I guess pregnant b4 marriage is making a trend in those celebrities.
Only Celebrities Weddings without a baby in the bun recently maybe Lee Soo Young & Kim Kang Woo.
Maybe those gf of celebrities should get pregnant first so that these celeb can expedite the wedding.

If they could date openly, get married as a matter of course WITHOUT a fan fuss ,(thus no management fuss )they might
not wait to the last minute. And in their late thirties they
want to be parents already! How they date at all is beyond imagining. I read that CJW spent a lot of time in cars and apts with her boyfriend. That is sad.

I guess it's because they wait until the last possible minute to get married due to all the "pressures" of being a celeb (that's my guess). And maybe some of them want to extend their "single" status for the fans so they don't get married until someone gets preggo. Heck some don't even get married until after they've already had kids (although I haven't seen that too much in Hallyu / Korea).
I'm not a big fan of his but congrats to him nonetheless.

I like how Lee Beom Soo handled his wedding albeit a second marriage after a failed, short-lived one years before. He met his girlfriend in 2008, introduced her & confirmed their engagement in 2009 and in early 2010 announced their May wedding. Though smaller in scale compared to the exclusive Jangs.. it's nonetheless a beautiful, sweet and heartwarming ceremony with family and close celebrity friends. And they recently got pregnant in June but released the happy news in October when she's truly 4 months into the pregnancy.

How can you compare Ryu Shi Won to Clooney? That's such an insult to the latter. And I'm not just talking about look wise. Have everyone forgot that this guy killed someone? And that he only got off cause he paid off people? I can't believe that he's still consider a celebrity. This is a sad, sad world.

@ chasen8888
I agree with you. Basically, the situation is they are dating someone regardless of what they publicly proclaim. And the girl getting knocked up becomes a pressure point (and like someone said, a necessity) to tie the knot. It has been the case for the longest time and will remain this way for the longest time to come

About him getting screwed out of the chick in BD, anybody going up against LBH deserves to be screwed out of the chick. RSW whined his way through the whole drama. Women don't find pathetic sexy. Sorry, CJW made exactly the right choice. She picked the macho, beautiful man. And the sensational actor. I haven't been able to watch this actor since BD. I passed on watching Style because he was in it. Clooney? Please!!

I have watched about 400 Kdramas in it's entirety in my lifetime and in the last several years have noticed a few miniseries suggesting making the GF pregnant so the parents will stop opposing the marriage...one I remember is 1% of Something.....in this drama they call it "speeding ticket"..in it they claimed it is a sureway solution to get parent's approval.
I do agree that it's so undignified to announce the bride being pregnant already before the wedding....couldn't they save that good news for a later time?...ahh maybe they don't want us to count back and find out their mischief..
I read somewhere that every Kdrama miniseries should have a wedding scene of some sort and Wedding was the series that gave the audience the most Beautiful Bride ever in Jang Na Ra and the second was Hwang Soo Jung in Four Sisters....now I wonder how his real life bride looks like as it is being kept private....hope they post some pics soon ....
