It’s a February wedding for Go Soo

Well, there goes one more fantasy, dashed: Go Soo is getting hitched, ladies! Next month, in fact, according to his agency, which released the info today.

His reps at BH Entertainment confirmed that his romance (announced early last year) to a non-celebrity known simply as Ms. Kim would culminate in a wedding ceremony on February 17.

Go Soo and Ms. Kim, 11 years his junior (Go Soo is 33, she is 22), reportedly met in 2010 after being introduced by friends. Apparently the couple has been preparing the wedding for the past several months; the official engagement bows between the bride and groom’s parents were made last year.

Sigh. I know my Go Soo crush wasn’t really real, but sadly a part of me feels like a sad Sayuri in You’re Beautiful, trying to chant “Congratulations!” while holding back tears. Aw. I went a long while without really seeing Go Soo’s appeal — he was pretty, but I didn’t feel a pull from his roles — and it wasn’t until Will It Snow For Christmas that I thought he’d become a good actor. When an actor can rip out your heart with a tortured look in his eye, though, you’re good and hooked.

Oh well. Congratulations (sob!), Go Soo.

I don't think so though... cause if it's a shotgun wedding, they would've done the wedding faster. But for this wedding, it was said that they've been preparing for several months already. Maybe he just wanted to get married right away since he's 33 already.

Oh well, congratulations to them! What a lucky lady! ^^

...I'm wondering if that's in Korean age or what? It's crazy some of these celebrities marry people a decade younger than them :/

I'm not questioning their love or their marriage and congratulation to them, but my gosh, that girl basically gave up her "youth".

I think it's ironic how these male celebrities marry at an older age to much younger women.

I noticed that they love doing that too, start dating a girl who has barely graduated from high school, then marry a few years into her 20's. Meanwhile being 10+ years older than her.

I can't imagine getting married at 22!! I can't even imagine any of my unnies at uni who are 22 getting married :O In the states, perhaps 1 in 1000 students will get married while still in college. However, I think it's relatively more common in Korea because a lot of male celebrities marry women in their early twenties. I strongly disapprove of this Asian custom though; it makes me want to rant, rebel, become a feminist and do all sorts of things that are unattractive in Asian guys' eyes~~ And this is a slight segue, but my uncle is a physics professor in Korea and he says that there's like one girl for every 10-15 guys in his class. I know even in the states there's like a 1:5 male to female ratio, but it's still upsetting to see the absence of women in fields like math/physical sciences. I can't wait to see what sort of changes happen 10-20 years.

This rule applies to everywhere, not only korea.
in real life, ive never seen a hot guy that looks like josh hartnett.

Most korean REAL guys on the street have tiny watermelon seed eyes, biggish face and are not very tall at all.

And all those cute pretty korean gals seen on the tv screens would have gone under the surgeon's knife at least once. Even those not in the limelight would also have gone for cosmetic surgery.

This is the reality of life, hehe. Lucky for me, i was born with quite perfect features with satin smooth complexion ( smug smirks here).

@sophia

Sorry, but it's not like the US is full of Brad Pitts either.

And the average height of a Korean male under 28 is 5'8.5" which is only an inch shorter than the average height of a male in the US.

Also, the Korean female celebs particularly known for their beauty have not gone under the knife (the netizens have made sure of it), and you'd be surprised at the no. of Hollywood actresses who have gotten something done.

As for you, considering that your physical appearance is probably appealing as your personality, I somehow doubt that you are much to look at.

I don't think its for you to approve or disapprove of a country's customs. No society os perfect. They might also disapprove of your customs, what makes you right and them wrong?

About the physics class, it could be that girls r not as interested as guys in physics :S I mean I live in canada, and my friend (a girl) who's in engineering is one of the minority in class, while in my classes (business) although ratios were pretty close, the majority were girls.

Im with you here, everyone grows up seeing their customs around them and get used to them n be comfortable and familier with them, so probably they might be uneasy with other customs, so dont worry!!!
about the ratio it kind of excited me but well you are right about the choice of subject......
but what they show in dramas (im not korean) it does seem a great deal when a girl gives lift to a guy!!1

Agreed! There's no determining when you would meet the right person and when each person feels that they are ready.

Also, we don't need others to approve of our cultural norms (especially where it doesn't hurt anyone).

Just like how some people don't want others to tell them sleeping around without getting married is not approved behaviour, there are also those who don't like being told that getting married [at an] earlier [ADULT] age is not approved behaviour.

Personally, I think it's a wonderful thing if you found someone to love and spend the best of your years with. :) That's romantic..

Where I live in the US it's actually really common to get married that young, part of the local culture I guess you could say. Almost all of my friends from high school got married before they were 21. And no, none of them were pregnant. Haha, and my university is probably giving in your statistics a heavy tail, EVERYONE is married or getting married. I'm not planning on following suit, but it happens here in the states too.

Re physics: I go to uni in the UK and I study engineering and I am one of about 10 girls (prob less than that) in a class of nearly a hundred. Most uni's here are the same I think- I've heard of there being a single girl in a class of guys. Certain subjects just do not attracts girls, worldwide. :/

Required fields are marked *

Actually, the average age of wedlock in the States is a few years earlier than that of Korea's. It's not uncommon at my university to run into women who are married or/and have children. However, although there's always a bit of societal pressure to marry (especially for women) in any society, and to do so at a socially acceptable time, for the most part the U.S. is much more lenient with letting people find the arrangement that fits them best - whether that be starting your family in your early twenties, later, or not at all; to marry but remain childless, or to refrain from marriage but still start a family; etc.

Young Korean women (especially professionals) are holding off on marriage in droves, maybe as a reaction to that societal pressure to marry in your mid-twenties and then start procreating right away; there's a lot of interesting sociocultural implications concerning that (and some of the best analysis can be found at The Grand Narrative).

I'm going to be 24 later this year and I feel the same way as you do. I am immature for my age regarding some aspects of life, especially when it comes to romance (*tears* too many kdramas have ruined my expectations of what I want in a man *tears*) and the thought of marriage at such a young age is just plain scary, no financial stability or maturity and can you imagine, having children who you are responsible for until they will be reaching the age we are right now ~#speechless

I've no problem with big age differences. It's not like people who marry someone the same age as them has a higher or better chances of having ahappier marriage. If I look at my family and friends, it would seem you'll have a higher chance of going through a nasty and bitter divorce. LOL

It's probably because I know so many couples who are around the same age, who aren't happy in their relationships, I've no problems with "different" kinds of couples. I mean by different, couples with big age difference, open relationships, not believing in marriage and so on. :)

Congratulations Goo Soo! Best wishes to you and your lovely bride.

Many men are shallow that way, unfortunately. However, to be fair, I believe not all men are like that. There are those who value a girl for her mind, and are stimulated, not by good looks, but a lively conversation. As a friend of mine, a single guy, puts it: " What's the use of pretty when she can't even hold a decent conversation with me?"
Beauty doesn't last forever, and when good looks are gone, what's left to sustain a marriage based purely on looks?

I don't know many 22 year old girls who are ready for marriage, but that's in this country. If she's mature and intelligent and not interested in the party scene, then who is to say she's not ready yet?

I would imagine that his work (and the life style necessitated by it) would provide her with excellent opportunities for personal growth. She will have plenty of time to pursue her own interests while he is working on a drama - since it's clear with the live-shoot system she just won't see him at all then - and his income will afford them both opportunities for travel and experiences that most of the world will never have.

I do hope they don't rush to have children. Even if he is 11 years older than he, he is still a very young man. They can afford 3-5 years of just being a young married couple - even more than that, truthfully.
