Kang Kyun-sung to marry Yu Ha-jin, 14 years younger, on the 30th... Reunited after 9-year connection

Singer Kang Kyun-sung will marry actress Yu Ha-jin, who is 14 years younger, on October 30. The two got to know each other through several meals nine years ago, but the connection did not continue as Kang Kyun-sung stopped contacting her, being conscious of the age difference. Since then, the two had kept track of each other's recent status through social media, and after being introduced by an acquaintance, they met again and began dating around mid-February this year. On the MBC 'Radio Star' broadcast airing on the 14th, Kang Kyun-sung will share stories about their reunion, the wedding preparation process, the wedding time set for 7 PM, and the behind-the-scenes story of the proposal. The broadcast will also include stories about his past beliefs, his bobbed hair style shown for the first time in 11 years, and a live performance of Noel's hit songs.

Contact cut after meals 9 years ago, reunited through acquaintance's introduction

The connection between Kang Kyun-sung and Yu Ha-jin began 9 years ago. At that time, the two got to know each other by eating together several times. However, Kang Kyun-sung felt burdened by the 14-year age difference and stopped contacting her. Afterward, instead of maintaining direct contact, the two lived by checking each other's recent status through social media. After time passed, an acquaintance of Kang Kyun-sung stepped forward to introduce a good person, and he discovered that the person being introduced was Yu Ha-jin, with whom he had a past connection. The press release stated that Kang Kyun-sung will reveal this reunion process on the broadcast.

After meeting again, the two naturally developed into a couple and began dating in mid-February this year. Kang Kyun-sung is scheduled to explain on the broadcast the reason why he decided to marry despite the short dating period. The wedding is scheduled for October 30, and the bride-to-be, Yu Ha-jin, is an actress. According to a media report, Kang Kyun-sung also shared photos of his proposal on his social media on September 8. The broadcast will cover the flow of their relationship, which moved from meals and the cessation of contact 9 years ago, to checking recent status via SNS, and finally reuniting through an acquaintance's introduction.

Belief in premarital chastity and the reason for the 7 PM wedding

Kang Kyun-sung was known in the past as an 'icon of premarital chastity.' On the broadcast, he admits that there were times in the past when he could not properly keep his beliefs, and confesses that after meeting the person he will marry, he felt a desire to keep it this time. According to the press release, he explains that it was possible because the bride-to-be had the same thought.

The reason for setting the wedding time to 7 PM will also be revealed on the broadcast. Kang Kyun-sung explains that he chose an evening ceremony to consider condition management so that he would not get exhausted after starting preparations early on the wedding day. He will also tell the story of the planned honeymoon after the wedding. The press release stated that along with plans after the marriage, Kang Kyun-sung's romance for the first night will also be revealed on the broadcast. The explanation regarding the wedding time is that it considered the preparation process and condition on the wedding day, and no specific location or schedule for the honeymoon plan was separately presented.

Proposal scene decorated like a filming set

The proposal prepared for the bride-to-be involved Kang Kyun-sung's ideas and the participation of acquaintances. Hearing that he wanted the bride receiving the proposal to look her most beautiful, he decorated the scene like a filming set. He arranged the situation so that Yu Ha-jin could come to the scene after receiving hair and makeup, and the bride-to-be arrived without knowing about the prepared proposal. The press release reported that Kang Kyun-sung gave a surprise proposal by mobilizing all his acquaintances to the scene.

Kang Kyun-sung introduced that he mobilized all his '40-odd years of life skills' in this process. The press release contains the content that he decorated the scene like a filming set for the proposal and made it so that the bride-to-be could come looking dressed up. However, the specific location or the number of acquaintances who participated in the preparation was not disclosed. Kang Kyun-sung expressed his intention to do another surprise event at the wedding.

Reproducing bobbed hair after 11 years and live performance of Noel's hit songs

The press release stated that the broadcast includes content retracing Kang Kyun-sung's past variety show heyday along with the marriage story.

Kang Kyun-sung also shares his concern that more people remember him through vocal impressions and high-note content rather than as a singer. Along with the story that he is more often known by vocal impressions and high-note content than as a singer, he will showcase the high-note content that drew much attention and various vocal impressions. He will then perform Noel's hit songs live. The broadcast is composed to cover not only the marriage news, the connection with the bride-to-be, the proposal, and wedding plans, but also his variety show activities and his stage as a singer.
