Gong Hyo Jin Shares Her Emotional and Cleverly Orchestrated Proposal Story with Husband Kevin Oh
Actress Gong Hyo Jin recently delighted fans with a heartfelt and humorous recount of her proposal story during her guest appearance on the YouTube variety show Zzanbro, alongside her When the Stars Gossip co-star, Lee Min Ho. The actress, who is currently a “Gom-shin” (a term for someone in a relationship with a military service member), opened up about the romantic way her now-husband, singer Kevin Oh, asked her to marry him.
Gong shared, "He asked me to go for a walk with the dog near the Bukhan River. He said he’d bought a moving camera and wanted to test it by filming me. I thought it was just a regular day, but suddenly he asked, ‘Will you marry me?’ There was no ring, so I told him to do it again later. Honestly, I was a little disappointed."
But Kevin Oh wasn’t done. Gong Hyo Jin revealed how he turned things around: "When we got home, he had prepared a surprise. He scattered flower petals and placed 10 cards with a story leading up to the house. As I read them one by one, I started crying. He’s really good at writing. Each card had photos of us and told a story with a clear beginning, middle, and end."
She continued, "When I opened the door to the house, he was waiting with the ring. Turns out, the earlier ‘disappointing’ proposal was part of the plan. I cried a lot when I saw the ring."
Fans were touched by the thoughtfulness and creativity Kevin Oh brought to the proposal, making the story feel straight out of a K-drama. Gong Hyo Jin and Kevin Oh tied the knot in October 2022, and the singer is currently fulfilling his military service, set to be discharged this June.
Their love story continues to inspire fans, showcasing a perfect blend of humor, romance, and heartwarming sincerity. Could this be the ultimate K-drama couple in real life? Let us know what you think!
