If today was April 1st instead of January 1st, I might take this for an elaborate April Fools Day joke. Alas, it looks like the New Year is off to a new and interesting start with respect to K-ent. Korean news outlets are reporting that Rain and Kim Tae Hee are dating. Yup, dating, as in going out on dates. Despite being in the military for the greater part of the year, Rain apparently doesn’t let serving his country deter his romantic prospects. The news reports state that since meeting Kim Tae Hee in late 2011 while shooting a CF for Coupang (I have no clue what the brand is, sounds like some couponing gimmick), Rain has put the moves on Kim Tae Hee. Through very persistent and sincere pursuit of her over many months, he managed to win her heart and they started dating this past September. So the relationship is just three months old and they purportedly hang out every weekend which Rain gets off in military service. He has been spotted driving her car to and from her home when they go out, and afterwards leaving alone in a taxi. So there you have it, Hallyu royalty dating and fangirls and fanboys hearts everywhere breaking. Honestly – I am happy for them even though I follow neither of their careers. They are in their 30s and ought to have earned the right to date and hopefully work towards settling down and starting a family, whether its with each other or someone else down the line. The intense Korean media and public scrutiny of the personal lives of its stars always weirds me out. I take this as good news to start off 2013, which I hope is a fresh new start for me since I had about the crappiest 2012 ever.
So there is a popularity award in both the film and the television sections of…

Here's my reaction when I first saw this: Wut??
But good luck to the couple if they are dating....
They r dating for real...Kim Tae Hee's agency already confirmed it
This news has raised questions over their inability to keep their relationship hidden from the public eye. They are no rookie in the ent world and had managed so far to lay low regarding their respective lovelife.
Why should they!?( And I don't mean that in a criticizing manner) It's like
Miss Okoala said they are in their 30's. So what's the big deal! Plssss some one help me understand!! Ugh O.o
This is precisely my point. Trust me, when k-celebs want to keep her lovelife quiet, they manage to do so with the help of their powerful companies and links in the ent world. Therefore I tend to think that this news was purposefully leaked out. For what purpose? Dunno. Maybe to test the waters?
Why should they? Why shouldn't they? I mean that this is their private life. They should be able to choose whether and when to go public. If their relationship does not work out and you were in their shoes, would you really want the entire world to keep asking you questions on "that other self" even years later? Past should be kept in the past. ;)
Prima because Rain & Kim Tae Hee are both superstar in Korea that's why any news about them will sell like a hotcake.
Congrats! I like both of them. Hope it works out .
What an unexpected couple! They are at the ages where they are probably seriously considering marriage. Congratulations to them!
Hope it is true...like both of them.
Wow,,, just wow,,,
Its. Shocking news,,I'm bi fan,
If bi happy I will be happy for him... * although I wanna cry*
Please date and marry soon
Yes mrs koala,, its good news,,happy new year mrs koala :)
Wow is Rain gonna lose 1000 fans like Se7en? I'm pretty sure Kim Tae Hee is receiving death threats already. Powerhouse couple :)
Apparently K-netizens believe Rain isn't good enough for KTH since she is the "goddess" over there. I'm pretty surprised at this pair too but all the best to them really.
Well if they are happy good for them. Too bad her career in Japan is not happening (for the moment)thanks to something she did and said years ago. Her dorama was genuinely cute and I think she's better suited for light cute romcoms because as a dramatic actress she is terrible and wooden.
I wonder if her contract with Sweet Power is going to be terminated.
weren't there rumours of rain dating song hye kyo and jeon ji hyun as well?
with KTH it is like hat trick for him:P
I believe Rain has accomplish everything he could of hope for. It's time he work on settling down before it's too late (same for KTH).
Those that are against these two pairing must be stupid or something. I mean eventually they'll settle down w/ someone. So who else would be more perfect then the 2 hottest stars in K-town.
Agree with all you said.
