My Coffee Prince and Anchor-nim is married! Kim Dong Wook announced a few months ago that he was getting married at year end and that day has arrived, the actor tied the knot this Friday in Seoul at a wedding attended by a lot of his celeb friends. It was a private wedding so the couple did not release wedding pictures and the press did not stay outside to take snaps of the arriving star attendees. Nevertheless in the age of cell phones pictures have been posted by their guests and the couple look very happy and lovely. The bride is reportedly a SNSD (Girl’s Generation) trainee and aspiring actress when she was younger but exited that career path and is living as an ordinary person with a job. But she landed one of the best actors of his generation so you win some you lose some haha. Congrats to the couple on their nuptials.
She is really beautiful! I see Yuri and Song Yoona in her face.
Yes, Stella is very pretty. If you look at old pictures of her with SNSD members, she absolutely stands out, even more so than Yoona. I think she definitely would’ve been the visual of the group if she didn’t leave, especially considering what Yoona looked like before her nose job
I’m talking about Im Yoona (SNSD’s visual member) in my comment, by the way, not Song Yoona, just to be clear
Choi Soo Young has also posted some nice phoyos of herself with the bride on her Instagram
The bride is pretty well-know among the NYC&NJ-Korean crowd. Her career is in the skincare industry and her family’s wealthy.
Stella Kim (the bride) wrote a very heartfelt caption on her ig, it’s incredibly beautiful and moving. They both seem like great people, best wishes to them!
“When it came time to sign the contract for my band’s debut, this coincided with my university admission and high school graduation. As a minor, my parents would have had to ultimately sign on my behalf, but they wouldn’t budge at the last hour. In the end, I had no choice but to turn the contract down, and I went back to the states to study Music Business at New York University. Seeing the wild success of Girls’ Generation, a lot of people used to ask me if I regretted turning down that contract; but what I’ve realized is that people only see the glossy exterior.”
— Stella Kim (KDW’s bride)
My every first K-drama was Coffee Prince. I truly enjoyed the drama alot. It hold a spot in my heart and memory for life.
In those days, I remember just how hard it was to watch dramas on good Eng subbed streaming sites. I remember having to rent/purchase DVDS just to watch them. Very costly hobby…
Reading the news of Kin Dong Wook’s marriage really brings back memories.I wonder if any of his drama cast mates attended his wedding…
Congratulations to him.
Ah, so Mrs. Anchor-nim is Stella Kim.
She is hardly an ordinary girl with ordinary job. She is quite famous in her own right, but the almost-GG tag always preceded her.
I’m fond of Anchor-nim and glad he found someone so awesome.
