Why did Yoon Sang Hyun decide to marry singer and songwriter Maybee? It had something to do with her winning personality but it also had something to do with the fact that she reminded him of his mom. At least that's what he said on the Nov. 24 episode of the show "Healing Camp."

Fans of the actor, who starred in "I Hear Your Voice," "My Fair Lady" and "Secret Garden" may have been surprised by the announcement that he was dating Maybee. And they may have been even more surprised to learn that the couple had already set a wedding date. They plan to marry on February 8.

According to a report in Donga, the couple has only dated since July. They met on a blind date set up by friends.

But the 41-year-old actor said he knew early on that Maybee was the one.

"It hasn't been that long since I started dating her but I felt sure," he said. "She is the woman that I've been looking for."

He did not think the age difference between them would be an issue.

"We're six years apart," he said. "But she understands my work. She is optimistic and bright."

He may have known that she was the one early on but he made the decision to marry her after he was invited to her home.

"She invited me to her house to cook for me," he said. "And when I saw her cooking in the kitchen, that's when I made my decision."

The vision of her cooking reminded him of his childhood.

"She reminded me of my mom who would turn around as she cooked when I asked her for food."

He has not yet officially proposed to Maybee and when he does his proposal may come across as more practical than romantic. He has not yet proposed but he did ask her to help him.

"I asked her to live with me and help out my mom and she was happy," he said.

The last wedding that Yoon Sang Hyun attended was that of his "I Hear Your Voice" co-star Lee Bo Young when she married actor Ji Sung. Lee Bo Young  asked him to sing at her 2013 wedding, which he did. Yoon Sang Hyun and his fiancée do not yet have a location for their wedding or know who will officiate or sing.

Singer songwriter Maybee may have some ideas. She has written songs for Lee Hyori, MC Mong, A Pink and SG Wannabee.
