It’s ladies dating week as K-ent gets a double dose of good news with its established leading actresses. Chae Rim, who has a successful career in both Korea and China, will be tying the knot with her Chinese actor boyfriend Gao Zi Qi. They first met on the set of the sprawling epic period 2012 C-drama Li’s Family Courtyard playing a married couple. It was a long shoot and the romance blossomed on set with the younger Gao Zi Qi making the first move in pursuing the older by two-years Chae Rim. She joked afterwards that she had four no’s when it came to a romantic partner – no to someone of a different nationality, no to someone younger, no to someone with a B blood type, and no to someone who is an actor – and Gao Zi Qi fit every one of her no’s but she couldn’t help it and fell for him. They’ went public with their relationship earlier this year and things moved fast as both sides met with each other’s families and gotten their blessings. Gao Zi Qi joked that he got lucky because he couldn’t communicate with Chae Rim’s parents at all so was under no pressure since Daddy Chae couldn’t grill him. LOL.
Chae Rim speaks fairly decent Chinese after working in China for the last decade so communication between them is doable though they do struggle with deep discussions which can take all night. But both confess that it makes them really work hard to understand and appreciate each other and that’s why the relationship is so special. Congrats to the happy couple and I’m genuinely thrilled that hardworking Chae Rim finally has her man to create a family with and continue growing both their careers together. Over on the Korean side, former Fin.K.L member and actress Sung Yuri is confirmed to be dating professional golfer Ahn Sung Hyun. The relationship is relatively new and if it goes all the way will make Sung Yuri the second Fin.K.L member to settle down after Lee Hyori got married to singer Lee Sang Soon. K-netizens are pointing out how Sung Yuri is the new MC of the variety show Healing Camp and is dating a professional athlete much like her predecessor. She took over for Han Hye Jin who got married to professional soccer player Ki Sung Yueng last year. I’m always happy for some positive relationship news as a notch in the romance column.

I'm so happy for Chae Rim and Sung Yuri. I love them both. Chae Rim has been in China all this time that it's a treat to see her news. I have seen that actor in many dramas. I remember him fondly in New My Fair Princess that came out last year. Thought he was pretty decent. CR last marriage partner left her heartbroken so I hope he'll bring her some happiness. Though CR can speak some Chinese it'll still be hard for them and I hope it'll not hinder anything in their future.
As for Sung Yuri, I wishes her the best too. Years back there were rumors that she dated Yoon Kye Sang and Song Seung Hyun. I thought that her and Yoon would have made a great couple; sadly things don't work out in life. Congrats on her new relationship and hopefully a comeback to rom-com soon.
Yes... Yuri and Kye San were my OTP. :(
Wow, chae rimmmmmm....
Been a while since i heard abt her, she captured my heart since i first saw her in oh my lady. So I'm thrilled to hear her news and the 'getting married' news, which is amazingly lovely. I hope its happily ever after.
Congrats!
Congratulations to both Chae Rim and Yuri... So happy for them and wishing them happily ever after.
