Remember the devastation that rocked K-drama world when Song-Song couple broke up last year? If you’re one of the many who is still smarting over their recent divorce, despair no more – there are still adorable South Korean lovebirds who prove romance is still alive and well.
Despite the possible backlash these Korean celebrities may face from devoted fans, they have decided to publicly announce their new-found love, and we couldn’t be happier for them.
Here are the top five Korean celebrity couples of 2020:
1. Super Junior’s Kim Hee-chul and Twice’s Momo
This year started out with the announcement that this adorable K-pop couple was officially an item. There is a 13-year age gap but that didn’t stop romance from sparking. The two met on the set of Kim’s show, Knowing Brothers, and when Momo starred in Kim’s video for his hit single Sweet Dream, they grew even closer. Today they’re still a confirmed pair.

2. Wanna One’s Daniel Kang and Twice’s Park Jiyho
It’s hard to keep a romance undercover when you’re famous. These two K-pop stars were seen going on a date in August of 2019 and the Twice lead singer was spotted driving to Kang’s home one afternoon. But fans (and haters) need to understand this relationship was a long time coming – Twice’s management company, JYP Entertainment, put a dating ban on the group in 2015 so they could focus on their careers (it was lifted it in 2018). Once the ban was gone, Jiyho was able to be with her significant other, and the 22-year-olds confirmed their relationship as a couple.
3. M.I.B.’s Kangnam and Olympian Lee Sang-hwa
Korean-Japanese singer Kangnam (born Yasuo Namekawa) met his beloved Lee Sang-hwa, an Olympic speed skater and gold medalist, on the set of the show Law of the Jungle in Last Indian Ocean, and only a few months later announced they were getting married in October 2019. Their engagement wasn’t without controversy, however.
