On August 15th, HaHa held a press conference regarding his wedding plans with singer Byul, and revealed details about their relationship as well as answering the questions of reporters.
He revealed the reason behind the sudden announcement, stating, To be honest, starting from when I became thirty, in addition to the influence from my hyungs and my friends, I had decided to put my lifes focus on creating a happy family. I thought about marriage, and I wanted to get married fast and live a stable and comfortable life.
HaHa continued, I wanted to get married quickly and create a family fast. Since a while ago, I would joke with Byul, Youre going to end up marrying me. Because we were both single, I started off asking Go Eun (Byul) about marriage rather than dating.
Although Im living as Haroro, Im 34 years old in reality. I have many friends that have two or more kids and unfortunately one thats divorced. Anyways, Im at the optimal age for marriage. After the articles were published, I think many suffered from a mental shock rather than remembering to send messages of congratulations, but I expected that. I am also quite bewildered myself.
The singer and entertainer also showed his affections for his bride-to-be as he stated, She has many things that I dont have. Shes modest, cute, innocent, and sexy. She sings really well too. And most of all, shes very good to her parents. Shes a good daughter. I am not so good to my parents but shes very good to them. I thought to myself that I could marry a woman like her.
When asked about their pet names for one another, Haha bashfully revealed that the two called each other yeobo which translates into honey or darling, a term that is used by married couples in Korea. Byul is quite shy, so I tried to get her used to the term by calling her yeobo first
Byul naturally started calling me yeobo as well. Its not that were calling each other yeobo in a serious sense, but more in a cute way, Haha shared.
As mentioned previously, HaHa and Byul were friends for 7-8 years, but only started to seriously date starting around March of this year. The two have clarified that the reason for this marriage announcement is not because Byul is pregnant, but that because they are sure of their decision to become life partners. The couple will tie the knot on November 30th.
