Actor Kwak Min-seon and athlete Song Min-gyu reveal their love story

Actor Kwak Min-seon and professional athlete Song Min-gyu opened up about their romance on the September 29 broadcast of 'Joseon's Love Masters.' MK Sports reported that the engaged couple shared personal stories about how they met, the challenges of dating in the public eye, and the unforgettable proposal that left viewers touched.

A chance meeting turns into love

Kwak Min-seon first encountered Song Min-gyu during an interview. Although she initially described him as slightly intimidating because of his image at the time, her impression shifted once they met outside of work. Song Min-gyu recalled being immediately captivated by Kwak's beauty and eloquence, laughing at how, as a naive 21-year-old then, he didn't expect any reply when he reached out to her.

Keeping love private

During the broadcast, Kwak admitted she was cautious at the beginning of their relationship. As a public figure herself, she worried about the potential impact on Song Min-gyu's career, especially given that some audiences tend to be sensitive about athletes' private lives. She revealed that she even kept her distance in public to protect him, though this changed as their relationship grew stronger.

A grand and intimate proposal

The highlight of their love story came in May, when Song Min-gyu orchestrated a surprise proposal in front of tens of thousands of spectators. Although Kwak was not at the venue that day, news quickly spread, and she only learned of it through fans and online articles. Later, she was moved when she discovered that Song Min-gyu had prepared a private, flower-filled proposal at home, which melted away her earlier worries.

A couple that mesmerized viewers

Their heartfelt confessions and genuine affection left a warm impression on viewers of 'Joseon's Love Masters.' The couple's story, balancing challenges and devotion, resonated strongly and captured many hearts.
