Kim Tae Hee shares reason behind budget wedding

Korean actress Kim Tae Hee married Korean heartthrob Rain last month (Jan 19), with little details made known about the low-profile couple’s proposal and wedding ceremony.

Being dubbed the richest couple in the industry, with their combined real estate value estimated at a whopping KRW50 billion (approximately worth S$60.6 million), they had a surprisingly simple and low-cost ceremony.

When asked to share the reason behind it, the 36 year-old actress simply explained that they chose not to hold a lavish wedding banquet because of the existing political crisis in Korea, and they did not wish news of their union to distract the public from national issues.

However, she assured the media that she is indeed “happily married” to her boyfriend of five years, and loves her life now. She also shared that the singer did not propose to her before the wedding day, but went down on one knee during their ceremony instead, which surprised many.

Rain even dedicated his recent song, ‘The Best Present’ to Tae Hee when he sang it to her on their wedding day.

“I guess that’s his way of proposing to me”, she said.

The couple is currently living in Rain’s residences while actively looking for a suitable new apartment.
