I’m really not a die-hard fan of either Ji Sung or Lee Bo Young, though it may seem that way from the half dozen or so posts devoted to their wedding prep in the last two months. I’m really a fan of romance, and these two genuinely exude it in spades from the moment they officially went public with their relationship by handwriting letters posted at their own fan cafes announcing their engagement and upcoming wedding. I confess to being a tad annoyed with a sliver of fandom of the OTP in I Hear Your Voice who apparently felt the right to question Ji Sung and Lee Young’s timing in announcing their nuptials to the genuineness of their love for each other, all because of a drama she just starred in where she did a fantastic job acting in love with her leading man Lee Jong Suk. I really appreciated Ji Sung and Lee Bo Young waiting until the drama was done before announcing their personal happiness, and the way they did it with handwritten notes was absolutely sincere and low-key, just the way both of them have presented themselves to the public during their entertainment career. Of course I have no idea whether their marriage is one made of convenience, true love, or a business arrangement, but no one does either and I dislike fans projecting their own desires onto actors or actresses when it runs counter to what has been stated. Shipping is cool and fun when the celeb in question hasn’t gone public with a relationship, and when that happens it’s time to wish them well and let the ship go. Ji Sung actually said in a recent interview during the promotion of Secret that he watched all of IHYV and was truly moved by the love shown onscreen between the OTP. I love how he can be a viewer and love the storyline and also a confident partner to Lee Bo Young that he appreciates her acting in all ways including creating a believable romance with another guy onscreen. Ji Sung and Lee Bo Young’s wedding was this past week but a final batch of their engagement pictures from Spain dropped that really wrap up up their wedding journey. I don’t think aesthetically they are the most pleasing couple nor are these pictures amazing on its own from an artistic angle, but it’s a genuine treat to see candid affection captured by a camera. Tacked on to the end of the post, I’m happy to wrap up their wedding journey with some additional lovely scenes from the wedding ceremony itself.
It's off with the hair pieces and ancient costumes for Xu Kai and Deng En…
This drama was apparently in talks with C-actor Ding Yu Xi before his just aired…
This year 2024 has been a slow year for K-actress Suzy in terms of her…
There are weird casting choices and this one is weird from both the leads itself…
Well this is an interesting pairing, setting aside the age difference at least I can…
I swear I just wrote about Song Joong Ki having his first baby and then…

Aww, they look so happy!
I do love them both. And I could look at pictures of them looking at each other all day long. Thanks, Captain Koala.
Beautiful. Just beautiful.
Aww...not usually a massive fan but you have to congratulate a couple who have been together so long.
If the fans of the the most recent drama sees fit to question their sincerity- they must have issues with appreciating good acting.
agree shipping singles actors is one thing, shipping actors married or with relationship is another. right now I didn't want but SJS and Gj are too cute off screen so I'm shipping this random couple lol
Me too....I wanna see GHJ and SJS in these kinds of wedding shots, but that's jumping the gun a bit. Lolx. So I will settle for them dating...I'm desperate for it to happen.
I thought GHJ was dating? I remember reading somewhere on dramabeans but not sure...
@yasmin - she broke up with her longtime bf last year.
I doubt people would be rooting so hard for her and SJS to hook up for real, on this scale (I swear every third comment I read in some places is along the lines of 'unnie and oppa should kiss!!!!', and I admit to making a few of those myself) if either of them was known to be in a relationship irl.
I don't think So Ji Sub is Gong Hyo Jin's dating type. At all. And she has a type. From dating Ryu Seung Beom to likely Ha Jung Woo, she likes her guys much more swarthy and gritty. It'll be cool if they dated but don't hold your breath on this one. Their BTS show absolutely chemistry of the cool kids hanging out kind.
So much pretty! Congrats to the happy couple...
Real life shippers are a problem and they indeed take their dreams for the reality. That said, I still don't like the fact that LBY announced the wedding at the wrapping up party for IHYV. It's not about breaking up OTP fantasies: It's about timing. The drama and all the persons who worked hard on it were supposed to be the stars of that one particular night, not her personal life. Rant over.
I think that LBY and JS are a beautiful couple and if they love each other sincerely, they shouldn't care about what crazy fans think. I find LBY radiant on these pics (she lost some weight obviously) and I wish her all the happiness she can get.
Just my two cents. LBY announced the wedding to the public the morning after the finale and the wrap up party. It was posted to her fan cafe first thing in the morning at the same time Ji Sung did. I don't think her timing was bad. That night was about the drama and her announcement the next morning in no way took away from the celebration for the drama and its cast and crew from the wrap up party the night before.
I don't think they care about what fans think. I simply wished her likely new(er) fans from watching her in IHYV would appreciate her happiness rather than their own disappointment. Which is also baffling because how could anyone ship LBY with LJS when she's been dating JS for years and years. Yeah, go ahead and ship their characters and the OTP onscreen, but the transference to real life there was inappropriate IMO and then to be unhappy their crazy fantasy turned out not to be true so quickly is like someone driving their car into a wall and then blaming the wall for being there.
Indeed to your comments regarding a slice of a few really vocal IHYV fans. It was hands down my rom-com crack of the year, and I used to check its soompi thread everyday. When the wedding was announced, a couple of users simply destroyed the generally nice mood with their annoying comments feeling betrayed (?) and used (?) and whatever. Rage inducing tbh.
So yeah, sorry for my mini rant, but I'm still bitter about that lol. While I'm not a fan of either of them, all the best wishes to this newly hitched couple :D
It's perfectly natural to look at a screen OTP and wonder what they'd be like in real life (I do it myself, with Master's Sun) but it's important to know that it's really just your wishful thinking and the celeb doesn't owe the fulfilment of that fantasy to the fans who wish for it.
Soompi has some very immature people on there, possibly because the user base is mostly extremely young. People get angry and bitter and start attacking over the most trivial things, it's ridiculous.
I love that LBY chose a wedding dress with sleaves.
I am so so sick of bare-top wedding dresses.
They look so happy and comfortable with each other. :)
Me too! I really love wedding dresses like Kate Middleton's that are sleek and quite modest. Lee Bo-young's was a bit awkward though, because it tried to mash the sleeveless, Elizabethan-skirted dress with lace sleeves.
Oh, these pictures are perfectly made, and so the COUPLE is, truly match for each other, our sincerest CONGRATULATIONS for the newly married! Praying for you always!
