Looking forward to the birth of a new star couple who will succeed Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin, some couples met in dramas and even got married.

Actors Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin, who got married after four romantic rumors and are now parents of one child, worked together with the 2018 film "The Negotiation" and the 2019 tvN drama "Crash Landing on You". In "The Negotiation", they depicted a bloody neck-and-neck race between a kidnapper and a negotiator, and in "Crash Landing on You", an officer and an heiress who fall in love. At the time of the drama's airing, a photo of them grocery shopping together in LA was released, and the two were involved in four romantic relationship rumors and became official lovers on January 1st, 2021, admitting their romance. They married on March 31st of that year and gave birth to a healthy son on November 27th, 2022.

Cha Seo-won and Uhm Hyun-kyung, who are four years apart, have developed into lovers by meeting on tvN's "Miss Lee" in 2019 and MBC's "Second Husband" in 2021. The two announced their pregnancy in June last year on the premise of marriage. Uhm Hyun-kyung gave birth to a healthy son in October last year while Cha Seo-won was serving in the military, and Cha Seo-won, who joined the army on November 22nd, 2022, was discharged on May 21st after fulfilling his military duty as a full-time reserve.

Uhm Hyun-kyung, who became a working mother, returned to the small screen with MBC's new daily drama "The Brave Yong Su-jeong", which first aired in April. "The Brave Yong Su-jeong" is a hot and exhilarating romance revenge drama with Yong Su-jeong (Uhm Hyun-kyung), an outspoken businesswoman who dreams of becoming a modern-day colossus, and Yeo Eui-joo (Seo Jun-young), a wicked woman who entrustes her fate to her. Uhm Hyun-kyung expressed her gratitude at the production presentation, saying, "I'm just happy to be able to work again".

Lee Sang-woo and Kim So-yeon, who have been married for seven years, also worked together on MBC's "Happy Home" in 2016. They said they were dating a month after the drama was over and got married in 2017, a year later. The couple, who look exactly like each other with nice and quiet personalities, are loved for their wild charm, 180 degrees different from their acting roles. At one point, their graduation photos were revealed, showing that they are naturally handsome and beautiful.

Korea's top star couple Yeon Jung-hoon and Han Ga-in, who have one son and one daughter, also starred in KBS1's "Yellow Handkerchief", which aired in 2003. In 2005, two years after filming the film, Han Ga-in made headlines by marrying Yeon Jung-hoon, who is four years older than her, at the young age of 25. "Even then, there were people who tried to dissuade me by saying it wasn't the right time to get married. I never thought I would get married early, but at that time, I didn't want to miss out on starting a family and losing the one I love", Han Ga-in said in an appearance on a TV show.

At that time, there were more restrictions on 'married actresses' than now, but Han Ga-in has continued her work by appearing in "A Witch in Love" (2007) and "Bad Man" (2010). In particular, in MBC's "The Moon Embracing the Sun" which aired in 2012, she hit her second heyday with a high viewer rating of 42.2%. Starting with "Circle House" in 2022, she is also active in entertainment and current affairs programs such as "Sing For Gold", "Hands-less Day", "Outside the Tent Europe Southern France", and "Classroom Idea". After getting married, her husband Yeon Jung-hoon also appeared in "East of Eden", "Jejoongwon", "Vampire Prosecutor", "Can Love Become Money", "Mask", "Bravo My Life", and "Possessed". He also appeared in "Top Gear Korea" and "1 Night 2 Days" with his sense of entertainment and hosting skills as good as Han Ga-in.

In Gyo-jin and So Yi-hyun were destined to become a couple, and they became lifelong partners after being colleagues in as many as three works: SBS's "The Fairy and The Con Artist", SBS's "Ae-ja's Sister Min-ja", and JTBC's "Happy Ending". So Yi-hyun and In Gyo-jin drew excitement by explaining their strange attraction on their channel, saying, they thought each other alike and they could understand each other without talking about it. In particular, In Gyo-jin said, "When So Yi-hyun appeared as an MC for "Section TV" and smiled, I knew she was smiling at me". Now, In Gyo-jin In and So Yi-hyun, who are parents of two daughters, are still sharing their marriage through their channels.
