AMBIGUOUS MV - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - COUPLE INFO What happens when the gentleman dubbed as the "Nation's boyfriend" meets the cute and adorable leader of a rising girl group? A match made in heaven! Eric Nam, dubbed as the Nation's boyfriend because of his impeccable manners, boyish good looks, and heavenly voice (not to mention a budding chef's palate), finally got his wish to feature on We Got Married after serving as a panelist for a good part of Season 4's segment. His partner? Kim Yong-sun, also known as Solar of the talented girl group MAMAMOO. Loved by fans because of her adorable and quirky personality (as well her penchant to always be on the receiving end of jokes from her members, hence her nickname "Yeba", slang for Pretty Idiot), she proved to be the perfect partner for Eric with her easygoing nature and bright smile. Shy and awkward around each other at first, they quickly grew comfortable with each other as time passed by, learning to complement each other's strengths and weaknesses with lots of laughs and sincere conversations, with an occasional dash of sloppily cooked food courtesy of the well-meaning wife. From romantic night walks around the neighborhood, to hilarious English to Korean tutorials, to powerful vocal performances onstage, you'll never tire of watching these two ham it up on TV with their enjoyable and easygoing outlook to married life. photocredits c/o MBC entertainment, imbc.com and its affiliates - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMELINE PRE-WGM APPEARANCES MAMAMOO Afterschool Club Episode LINK (Solar's Sexy Gaze cut) credits to Thread detectives Farfalle, morethanacityname and gureentea - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - EPISODE LIST Click the links for the English-subbed episodes! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - COUPLE HIGHLIGHTS Featured below are some of the shippers' favorite scenes from the thread, made into gif format!
