Kim Tae Hee's Agency Denies Latest Round Of Wedding Rumors
Marriage rumors have circulated ever since actress Kim Tae Hee began dating singer and actor Rain in 2012. The latest wedding rumors to circulate concern her possible participation in the upcoming drama "Yongpalyi."
The rumors say that Kim Tae Hee's contract for appearing in the drama includes a clause concerning her possible marriage to Rain.
But Kim Tae Hee's agency has denied the rumors. Not only is there no marriage clause, the agency representatives told the Korean media outlet Naver T, no contract has been signed for her appearance in the drama.
"We are appalled by such reports when we have not yet confirmed her role in the drama," said the Lua Entertainment representative. "The marriage rumors are definitely false. The two are still dating and it's going well but they do not have any marriage plans."
According to the agency Kim is still reading the script for "Yongpalyi and has not yet committed to taking the role. She has never mentioned any contract clauses.
"Yongpalyi" tells the story of a man who becomes a doctor but is crippled by debt because of his sister's dialysis treatment. The drama is set to air after "Mask" ends in August. Joo Won is also considering a role in the Wednesday-Thursday drama.
Despite the agency's repeated denials that Kim Tae Hee and Rain have no immediate plans to marry, the rumors continue. The previous round of marriage rumors took place in April 2015 when a Korean news outlet reported that both sets of parents had met and given their permission for Rain and Kim Tae Hee to marry. The news outlet also reported that the couple was making wedding arrangements, including booking a hall for a ceremony some time in 2015.
At the time the agency denied the rumors, saying that Rain never attended a meeting with both sets of parents. The agency also said there were no wedding plans.
When Rain sold his home in Seoul's Samseong neighborhood that same month, it was also rumored that he sold the house to fund his upcoming wedding.
In June 2014 rumors were sparked when actor-singer Rain converted to Catholicism. Since Kim Tae Hee is Catholic, it was seen as preparation for an upcoming wedding. Both stars' agencies denied that a wedding was being planned.
The couple began dating late in 2012 but revealed their relationship to the public in early 2013. Kim Tae Hee's last k-drama role was in "Jang Ok Jung: Living For Love." She also appeared in the Chinese TV drama "Wang Xizhi." Rain's last drama role was starring in "My Lovely Girl" with f(x) singer Krystal Jung.
