6 Famous Korean Stars Who Choose to Live Happily as Singles

Kapanlagi.com - For some people, getting married is one of the coveted life goals. However, marriage is not as simple as it seems. Especially if you live in an Asian country that is closely tied to conservative traditions and culture, marriage becomes a moment of uniting two large families.

Interestingly, this does not fully apply to celebrities, such as several famous Korean stars. Having a successful career, being wealthy and charming, and having many fans, apparently does not make them interested in getting married.

Although they could get married anytime, as there are surely many people willing to propose to them. Instead of fulfilling social expectations, these Korean stars choose to enjoy a happy life as singles. Who are they?

In addition, Jaejae is also known to have a great sense of humor. It's no wonder he is close to many Korean celebrities and famous K-Pop idols.

Interestingly, in line with his egalitarian personality, Jaejae is not shy about talking openly about his love life. In an interview on the show Problem Child in the House which aired on KBS2, Jaejae even admitted that he never thought about getting married.

He straightforwardly stated that marriage is just an option given to him by society. There is a reason why Jaejae thinks that way.

There was a moment where he expected his wedding gift to come back, but then he changed his mind and chose not to worry about getting married, as his life is already happy.

Next is Yeonwoo, who is a former member of MOMOLAND. Her beautiful appearance makes it easier for her to build relationships up to the point of marriage. However, when it comes to happiness, Yeonwoo has a different perspective.

In the show 'Knowing Bros' which aired on JTBC, Yeonwoo expressed her opinion about marriage. This was in response to a question from Kim Heechul, a member of Super Junior, about his hopes for the future if he has children.

Yeonwoo then answered that she actually doesn't believe in marriage. "I don't believe in marriage. I am very happy with myself. I prefer to use my money to enjoy the things I want," she said.

Last but not least, there is Jung Hyuk who is a professional model from Korea. In a variety show that aired on tvN in 2019, Jung Hyuk revealed his personal reasons why he doesn't believe in marriage.

Apparently, his parents divorced a long time ago and that made him skeptical about the concept of marriage. He is even no longer interested in talking about anything related to marriage.

"I never even realized it, but it's clear that my parents' divorce made me so angry and upset. Maybe that's why I feel more comfortable being single like now," he said.

Those are some Korean stars who choose to enjoy a happy life by being single. Each of them has their own reasons for that choice. One thing for sure, whatever choices these Korean stars make, as fans, we should be able to appreciate them.

Regardless of personal opinions about marriage, these six Korean stars are still successful and talented individuals whose hard work should be emulated. What do you think, KLovers?
