Noel's Kang Kyun-sung to marry actress Yoo Ha-jin today

Noel member Kang Kyun-sung and actress Yoo Ha-jin will marry at 7:00 PM today in Gangnam, Seoul, after reuniting to begin dating this past February. The couple, who first felt an attraction nine years ago but could not form a relationship due to their age difference, will hold a private ceremony attended by family and close acquaintances.

Kang Kyun-sung of the group Noel is finally tying the knot with actress Yoo Ha-jin, who is 14 years his junior. After feeling an attraction to one another approximately nine years ago but failing to form a relationship due to their age difference, the two have reunited after a long time to reach the culmination of marriage. As their once-missed connection has led to a reunion and love, congratulations are pouring in for the couple's wedding.

Kang Kyun-sung and Yoo Ha-jin will hold their wedding ceremony at 7:00 PM on the 30th at a wedding hall in Gangnam, Seoul. The ceremony will be held privately, attended only by the families of both sides and close acquaintances. Members of Noel, who have worked with Kang Kyun-sung for a long time, are scheduled to perform the congratulatory song, singing their representative track "Proposal." This adds special meaning to the occasion as the song expressing a confession of love resonates at their wedding.

Their first connection dates back approximately nine years. At that time, they felt an attraction to each other and met several times, but were unable to continue the relationship because the age difference was a concern. Kang Kyun-sung recalled the situation on an entertainment program, stating, "I was 37 at the time and the other person was 23." He explained, "After having a few meals together, I felt this wasn't right, so I stopped contacting her."

After drifting apart, the two met again this year through an introduction from an acquaintance. Remembering their past connection, they opened their hearts to each other after the reunion and began dating in earnest this past February. Ultimately, the relationship that could not be sustained long ago led to marriage through their restarted meeting. Kang Kyun-sung drew attention by revealing the process of how their past connection was rekindled while appearing on the MBN entertainment program "Jun Hyun-moo's Plan 4."

Kang Kyun-sung showed his sincere heart while personally informing fans of the marriage news. Posting a handwritten letter on his social media on August 3, he revealed, "I have met a precious person I want to walk with for the rest of my life, and I am getting married on October 30." He added that while the moment to share this news was a bit trembling, he wanted to tell his fans, who have supported him for a long time, before anyone else.

The values the two have maintained leading up to the marriage also became a topic of conversation. Kang Kyun-sung, who has frequently expressed his beliefs regarding premarital chastity, revealed on the MBC "Radio Star" broadcast on the 14th that he has maintained premarital chastity with his bride-to-be. He explained, "After meeting the person I will marry, I wanted to keep my convictions this time." His confession that he strove to uphold his long-publicly stated values ahead of his marriage drew interest from viewers.

Having debuted with the group Noel in 2002, Kang Kyun-sung has been loved for numerous hit songs, including "Even While Holding On," "Even Though It Hurts, Even Though It Hurts," "It Was All You," "Proposal," and "I Miss You, I Miss You." In particular, he has communicated with the public through both music and broadcasting with his emotional vocals and unique entertainment skills. He currently operates the YouTube channel "Kang Kyun-sung SOOM," presenting various content.

Yoo Ha-jin began her acting career with the MBC drama "One Spring Night" in 2019. Since then, she has built her career as an actress appearing in the drama "Meow, the Secret Boy," "Love Is for Suckers," and the stage play "Rental Apartment." The two continued their activities in their respective fields, faced their long-standing connection again, and are now standing at a new starting line as lifelong companions.

Their love story leaves a special impression as the relationship that stopped nine years ago due to an age difference has reconnected and led to marriage. Kang Kyun-sung and Yoo Ha-jin will take their first steps as a married couple amidst the blessings of their families and close acquaintances.
