Another kdrama couple has made an official statement to confirm that they are indeed dating. Rumors about the romantic relationship between actor Song Jae Hee and KBS announcer Kim Kyung Ran have prompted the couple to release statements that confirm they are currently in a relationship.
The couple managed to date for several months before they felt pressured to make an official statement. They met earlier this year while attending the same church. That must certainly have inclined him to date her since the actor has said in the past that his ideal woman would be someone who is religiously devout. Although his agency said the couple had been dating since January, her agency confirmed the relationship by saying they had only dated since April.
Either way, the actor says he has now met his ideal woman. She is everything he longed for.
In his best-known kdrama role, he was the man a princess longed for. Song Jae Hee played the 23-year-old Heo Yeom in the 2012 drama hit, "The Moon That Embraces The Sun." Heo Yeom was the handsome elder brother of the princess-to-be Yeon Woo and he was Prince Lee Hwon's friend and tutor. After his sister dies, he becomes the husband of Princess Min Hwa, who wanted to marry him so badly that she plotted his sister's death. The role of the gentle and forgiving Heo Yeom significantly boosted the actor's popularity.
Song has appeared in several other dramas and films. His film work includes playing Coach Nam in "Snow Is On The Sea" and a waiter in "Lifting King Kong." He appeared in the war drama "Road No. 1." He played Song Da Ri in "I'm Glad I Loved You" and Kang Woo Jin in the 2012 drama "Still You."
He also had a cameo appearance as Park Ha's attractive blind date in "Rooftop Prince." Park Ha is pressured by her mother and finally agrees to go on a blind date with the man played by Song Jae Hee. The Crown Prince and his entourage follow her, as the prince is concerned that Song's attractive look and manner will create problems.
The bride-to-be was a KBS announcer until she became a freelance correspondent. Kim Kyung Ran is 36 and Song Jae Hee is 34.
Song hopes people will respond favorably to news of their relationship.
