Lee Kyu-han claims he has liked Solbi for 20 years

Actor Lee Kyu-han revealed he has liked singer Solbi for 20 years during a YouTube video released on the 22nd. The couple, who first met on the dating show Pursuing Old Encounters last year, are scheduled to hold a private wedding ceremony in April 2027.

As singer Solbi prepares to marry actor Lee Kyu-han, Lee has sparked excitement by confessing that he has liked Solbi for as long as 20 years. After meeting on a dating variety show and developing into a real-life couple, the two are now set to wed, bringing renewed attention to Solbi's past comments regarding her marriage timing and palmistry readings.

On the 22nd, a video titled "Introducing my groom-to-be" was released on Solbi's YouTube channel, Solbi Is Back. Appearing in the video, Lee Kyu-han introduced himself with composure as "the groom-to-be of Solbi, the most beautiful person in the world." Given that the video was released ahead of their wedding, it carried a distinct atmosphere from the start.

Lee revealed that after appearing on the dating variety program Pursuing Old Encounters last year, he subscribed to Solbi's YouTube channel and consistently watched her videos. When it was mentioned that Solbi had previously stated in a video, "I will get married within three years," Lee responded, "I wondered if I had to wait three years." When Solbi asked, "Were you already liking me back then?" Lee jokingly replied, "I have been liking you continuously since 20 years ago."

Solbi could not hide her joy at the unexpected confession, laughing brightly. Although delivered like a joke, Lee's statement about liking Solbi for a long time has made their relationship even more intriguing. For the couple, who first connected through a dating show and became real lovers, there was a narrative of emotion beyond what had already been revealed on broadcast.

Along with the marriage news, attention is being drawn to a marriage fortune reading Solbi shared in the past. In an August YouTube video last year, Solbi received a palmistry reading where a physiognomist predicted she had the possibility of marrying before the age of 43. Regarding children, the reading stated, "There is one." While palmistry and physiognomy are not scientifically verified predictions, the public is interested as these past remarks resurface ahead of the wedding.

At the time, Solbi also remarked regarding her own marriage timing, "If I marry, I feel like it will be within three years." Following the announcement of her marriage to Lee Kyu-han, that statement is being revisited. What sounded like a vague premonition at the time is being consumed as if she had foreseen the future as it aligns with the actual marriage plans. However, as the reading regarding children does not represent the actual future, it is viewed as an interesting past anecdote.

The ideal types previously revealed by the two are also drawing interest. Solbi named a man who is kind, loves his work, and is respectable as her ideal type. In May, on SBS's My Little Old Boy, Lee mentioned he likes people with small faces who are round or slightly chubby, noting an announcer-like vibe with short hair. Following this, interest in Lee's ideal type resurfaced when Solbi transformed her look with a short bob. The alignment of their tastes and past remarks with the marriage news is adding to the interest of fans.

Solbi and Lee Kyu-han first met during Season 3 of the dating variety show Pursuing Old Encounters last year. Although they did not become a final couple on the program, they developed into a real couple after the broadcast and have promised to marry. Their love story is being received as particularly special because the connection that did not culminate within the program resulted in a union in reality.

The two are scheduled to hold a private wedding ceremony in April 2027, inviting only family and close acquaintances. As Lee Kyu-han's confession of "liking her since 20 years ago" and Solbi's past marriage-related remarks are being re-examined, interest in their marriage continues to grow. As the connection that began on television leads to a marriage, congratulations continue to pour in for their new beginning.
