Lee Bo Young and Ji Sung Merrily Head to Spain to Take Engagement Pictures

It’s nice to come across low key happy pictures to keep the mood bright during the weekend. On the evening of August 23rd, affianced celebrity acting couple Ji Sung and Lee Bo Young tried to sneak out of South Korea to fly to Spain to shoot their engagement pictures. They were probably too busy to pay attention to the news lately, because the day before their agency confirmed they were flying out to Spain the next day to shoot engagement pictures. So it was hilarious to see the two of them la-di-da walking through the terminal all normal people like, only to suddenly spot an entire squadron of newspaper phototogs waiting for them by the entrance to customs. Dur! Lee Bo Young and Ji Sung have been practicing highly effective stealth-fu for the last 6 years of their dating since they have never ever been directly photographed in public. Other than when they were caught in the audience for the Psy concert last year, these two have re-defined low key. I wonder if they ever even ate out? So Lee Bo Young went right back into evade stealth mode and tried to dodge to the side, with her soon-to-be-hubby Ji Sung smiling widely and pulling her back to go face the photogs head on, because at this point stealth mode seems highly unnecessary. But it was cute to see them interact in public for the first time, and both Ji Sung and Lee Bo Young’s fans have been cooing over this first outing for the couple. Lee Bo Young’s c-fans on Baidu are already calling Ji Sung brother-in-law (姐夫) since they refer to Lee Bo Young as big sister (姐姐). Okay, that is really really cute. I am have a teensy bit of mental whiplash since earlier this week I saw the first official stills from the upcoming melodrama Secret where lead Ji Sung is raging choking Hwang Jung Eum after he’s told that she operated the car that mowed his girlfriend down. Juxtaposing that still mentally with these pictures makes me chuckle at the timely reminder that it’s all just acting and the actors we see in dramas are doing just that. I worry that Ji Sung taking a trip to Spain when his drama is mere 3 weeks away from premiering seems like cutting it close, but I’m sure the production team has it all figured out and everything will be fine. I can’t wait to see the engagement pictures since Spain is one of my favorite countries to visit and beyond breathtaking. Hope these two enjoy a little pre-honeymoon since the real one will be delayed until November after Secret finishes airing.
