HaHa expresses his infinite love for Byul on ‘Infinity Challenge’

Comedian HaHa showed his infinite love for his fiance Byul on MBC‘s ‘Infinity Challenge‘!

On the August 25th episode of ‘Infinity Challenge’, the members fully covered HaHa and Byul’s marriage story during their mini-section ‘Infinity News’.

HaHa sent his fiance a video message by starting, “Go Eun (Byul’s Korean name). I used to joke around by asking you to get married with me, but I can’t believe this is actually happening. I still have a long way to go, but thank you for trusting me and I will make sure to become the best guy you could ever have.”

He added on, “I used to be scared of getting married. This is only possible because it’s you. I love you. I’ll see you during the wedding.”

During ‘Infinity News’, HaHa reacted to the ‘shotgun marriage’ rumors by confessing that Byul is religious and committed to chastity. Although HaHa confessed that he felt ‘stressed’, he still was able to protect his fiance and seemed excited about their wedding night as he jokingly said, “I will pour all my energy and bring out the inner beast in me.“ The comedian finished off his message by hilariously saying, “Let’s happily live together. And honestly it’s been really difficult for me. There’s a devil growing inside of me… I need you.”

While HaHa was giving out this touching message to his soon-to-be wife, the rest of the members started distracting HaHa by messing up his attire and hair. Despite this, HaHa successfully delivered his hilarious yet touching message to his fiance, whom he described as, “Sexy, but also cute. Cute and innocent, but also sexy.”

HaHa holds press conference about his upcoming wedding with Byul

On August 15th, HaHa held a press conference regarding his wedding plans with singer Byul, and revealed details about their relationship as well as answering the questions of reporters.

He revealed the reason behind the sudden announcement, stating, “To be honest, starting from when I became thirty, in addition to the influence from my hyungs and my friends, I had decided to put my life’s focus on creating a happy family. I thought about marriage, and I wanted to get married fast and live a stable and comfortable life.”

HaHa continued, “I wanted to get married quickly and create a family fast. Since a while ago, I would joke with Byul, ‘You’re going to end up marrying me.’ Because we were both single, I started off asking Go Eun (Byul) about marriage rather than dating.”

“Although I’m living as Haroro, I’m 34 years old in reality. I have many friends that have two or more kids and unfortunately one that’s divorced. Anyways, I’m at the optimal age for marriage. After the articles were published, I think many suffered from a mental shock rather than remembering to send messages of congratulations, but I expected that. I am also quite bewildered myself.”

The singer and entertainer also showed his affections for his bride-to-be as he stated, “She has many things that I don’t have. She’s modest, cute, innocent, and sexy. She sings really well too. And most of all, she’s very good to her parents. She’s a good daughter. I am not so good to my parents but she’s very good to them. I thought to myself that I could marry a woman like her.”

When asked about their pet names for one another, Haha bashfully revealed that the two called each other “yeobo” which translates into “honey” or “darling”, a term that is used by married couples in Korea. “Byul is quite shy, so I tried to get her used to the term by calling her ‘yeobo’ first… Byul naturally started calling me ‘yeobo’ as well. It’s not that we’re calling each other ‘yeobo’ in a serious sense, but more in a cute way,” Haha shared.

As mentioned previously, HaHa and Byul were friends for 7-8 years, but only started to seriously date starting around March of this year. The two have clarified that the reason for this marriage announcement is not because Byul is pregnant, but that because they are sure of their decision to become life partners. The couple will tie the knot on November 30th.

Kim Jae Dong laments about his bachelor life after news of HaHa’s engagement

Kim Jae Dong was recently spotted joking about his bitter bachelor life through his Twitter following HaHa‘s announcement of his engagement to singer Byul.

Kim Jae Dong began by jokingly tweeting his jealousy, “I’m going to take all of the wedding invitations I’ve received and use them to heat up my room this winter by lighting them on fire. HaHa. Send me your wedding date through text. I’m not as nice of a senior as you think to hold on to and treasure the wedding invitations of youngsters. I do congratulate you. I guess the order of marriage isn’t based on height.”

HaHa replied back, “Let’s just say I’m getting married first because I’m taller than you~! Hyung… I love you.”

The two went on exchanging a few more tweets with Kim Jae Dong later cleverly expressing his bitterness by putting a play on words with HaHa’s fiance’s name, Byul (which means ‘star’ in Korean) by adding, “You are living on a different star now while I’m still living on Earth. When you look down on Earth sometimes and see something sparkling, just know that those are my eyes.. Oh by the way, I’m not sending you any money for your wedding. Don’t contact me anymore. Phone banking won’t work anymore either since you’re on a different star now.”

Netizens commented back on their interaction, “Congratulations to HaHa”, “Kim Jae Dong needs to get married soon as well”, and “This news flew out of no where! Congratulations anyway.”

Having dated for six months, HaHa has announced that he and Byul have decided to get married on November 30th. Due to the sudden announcement of their engagement, some raised rumors of it being a shotgun wedding but representatives were quick to put the rumors to rest.

Representatives explained, “It is not a shotgun wedding. HaHa felt that now that he’s certain he wants to marry her, he no longer felt the need to hide it from the world. He has a very honest personality.”
