Facts About Actor Ryu Soo-Young & Actress Park Ha-Sun
Here are some detailed facts about this lovely couple: Before Marriage
The pair appeared in a TV drama together in 2013, Two Weeks, and became romantically involved since November 2014. Though they broke up in the drama, they married in real life. The couple officially recognized the devoteeship in March 2015 and became a representative couple in the entertainment industry, having been exemplified as a quiet and stable relationship. Ryu Soo-Young talked about when he fell in love and when he decided he wanted to marry Park Ha-Sun on KBS’s Happy Together. He said, “I appeared in a drama with Park Ha-Sun. Back then, we were just two actors in the same industry. The moment I realized I was in love was when I passed by her house by chance. I asked her if she wanted to meet since I was in the area. On the way to the place we’d agreed to meet at, I found my heart racing. That’s when I realized that I liked her.” With his heart racing, Ryu Soo-Young waited for Park Ha-Sun to appear at the cafe. The moment she appeared, he could think nothing but, “She’s so pretty.” They parted ways that day with nothing happening, but Ryu Soo-Young actually called 10 days later and asked if she’d like to go hiking behind his house. Park Ha-Sun agreed, and that’s when Ryu Soo-Young began to believe that she might be interested in him as well. His proposal took place during a hike at Namsan together. In the middle of the hike, he got down on one knee and asked her to marry him. He added that Park Ha-Sun had tears in her eyes as she accepted.
After Marriage

Park Ha-Sun gave birth to a baby girl weighing 3.5 kg (approximately 7.72 pounds) in the evening of August 23, 2017, at a hospital in Seoul. There was a rumor saying that they were getting married because Park Ha-Sun was already pregnant. But, the couple denied the rumors. Ryu Soo-Young shared his thoughts about his wife’s kissing scene during the April 14th broadcast of tvN’s drama Drink Alone. According to the actor, he immediately got upset about the scene and even felt terrible after watching the scene where Park Ha-Sun was sitting on her co-actor’s shoulders.
