Kim Bum and Moon Geun Young Return to Korea to a Media Frenzy at the Airport

Looks like the media tent city at Incheon airport I was talking about was erected like I anticipated as tons of Korean media outlets awaited the return of current entertainment It-couple du jour Moon Geun Young and Kim Bum. The Goddess of Fire co-stars grew close while filming the drama and started dating as the drama wrapped. Not content to be on the down low or take it slow, the couple planned a month long European vacation and jetted off right after filming wrapped. Once spotted at Incheon departing for Eastern Europe, their agencies swiftly confirmed the rumors of their dating and the couple has since been spotted by fans in various touristy spots in Europe. Taking a trip as a new couple is a very risky decision since simple disagreements about where to go, what to eat, and what to do can easily cause tempers to flare especially in a foreign place. During the trip, the couple was photographed surreptitiously by fans and always appeared to be holding hands when walking or comfortably shopping together. I was relieved since it doesn’t appear the trip did any damage and instead the joined-at-the-hands behavior has continued even as they land back in Korea. Moon Geun Young and Kim Bum walked the arrival terminal gauntlet this afternoon wearing head-to-toe couples attire including matching black sneaks with white soles. So cute. Kim Bum managed a herculean feat of pushing a teeming cart full of luggage while holding Moon Geun Young’s hand. She appeared alternatively disoriented, distressed, or mostly likely rather discombobulated to be thus bombarded with media attention especially after a month of mostly anonymity. Her honey was smiling and cheery, totally taking charge and basically conveying with his smirk that he’s taking care of his girl. Welcome home GeumBum and I’m looking forward to seeing them out and about at events and awards ceremonies from time to time.

    • I agree with you that Moon Geun Young & Kim Bum
      are cute couple. And I am happy for them together...
      But I notice that they have the same shoes... Cheers!.

  • I see what you did there. *smirk*

    Actually, he looks just plain pleased. Probably the least smirky I've seen him. Too cute. Everyone altogether now... AWWW!

  • Poor Moon. I don't think she has had this much fuss around her in awhile. He on the other is used to the media blitz wherever he goes. They do look good together and yes he held her had through all that. Very freaking cute!

      • Just saw the video of their arrival. He did let go of her hand only to put his arm around her. That was a throng of reporters indeed. Kinda scary but they are all so respectful in Korea. I mean they would not hurt someone for a picture. Private lives be damned, bring on the pictures. But seriously, I think this will be the last we see of them until those public events that are scheduled and choreographed. Truly a cute couple and I am so glad they both have good taste in picking partners. Hope it lasts all the way to the altar which it looks that way now.

      • Awwww I also saw a video of their arraiving, he's so sweet! He constantly looked at her like he was worried to lost her in the crowd and decided to wrapp his arm around her. Ain't that sweet?!?!

  • Scary welcome. Hope the media would leave these jids alone.

    Just curious - why the shades? Def not to protect their anonymity nor the sun inside the IA gates. Airport fashion maybe?

    • Stars have said that there are various reasons for wearing the shades, including airport fashion. But a lot of them have also said that it protects their eyes from the flashes (just think about how many cameras there were clicking away at them when they arrived) and it also covers their eyes / some of their face so that the reporters can't see their dead tired eyes after really long flights / if they didn't want to put on makeup for their arrival.

    • maybe the sunglasses sort of works to lessen all the glares and flashes of all the ginormous cameras madly flashing away. but their whole attire (hoodies, sunglasses and everything in black) suggests they're sort of trying to fade into the anonymity they've grown used to after a month in Europe but of course it didn't work. maybe the glasses also have the effect of hiding their expressions. sigh, I feel bad for moonie who looks utterly bewildered by all the media circus. But Kim Bum is definitely chill about it, love how he took her hand, even though it's such a feat to push the cart full of baggage with one hand ...

  • yeah, I was worried about the effects that a trip overseas would potentially have on their fledging relationship, but then I comforted myself when I thought about how the trip could also strengthen their relationship, since their partner is the only one they can rely on and trust in a place which is utterly foreign to them. I hope we can see more of their lovey-dovey, hand-in-hand photos :)

  • Thanks so much for these pictures Ms. Koala! :)
    Welcome back to GeunBum couple!
    I agree with everyone's comment on how KB is so cool under pressure while thoughtfully protecting MGY. I can hardly wait for the 2013 MBC Drama Awards show. Considering what we've seen from the couple so far, I can't help but ask - will they be wearing couple outfits at Awards show too?
    GeunBum Fighting! :D
