Psy Shares Adorable Story About “The Best Present” Lyrics To Congratulate Rain And Kim Tae Hee

 

Psy recently took to Twitter to congratulate Rain and Kim Tae Hee on the news of their upcoming marriage.

On January 17, Psy wrote “Congratulations Jung Ji Hoon (Rain), the greatest joy,” on his Twitter account along with a photo.

https://twitter.com/psy_oppa/status/821211257890107392/photo/1

 

The photo is a screenshot of a hilarious text post that reads, “The three biggest thieves of Korea, Yeon Jung Hoon, Rain, soy sauce marinated crab.”

Yeon Jung Hoon and Rain stole the hearts of Han Ga In and Kim Tae Hee, two of the most famous and beautiful actresses of Korea. Ganjang-gaejang (soy sauce marinated crab) is included as the punchline as it has earned the nickname of “rice thief” in Korea, considered to be so delicious that it can make anyone’s appetite return in full force.

Psy also went on to share a story from working on “The Best Present” with Rain. In another tweet, he wrote, “While working on the chorus together, Jung Ji Hoon (Rain) wrote down  ‘The Biggest Joy’ and explained why he wanted to use it. Chills. #I can say it now #The Best Present.”

https://twitter.com/psy_oppa/status/821266455874404352/photo/1

 

“The greatest joy” is a direct reference to Kim Tae Hee as the phrase can be written in hanja (Chinese characters) as “Big Tae (泰), Joy Hee (僖)” to make “Tae Hee”.

Congratulations to the happy couple!

rain + kim tae hee to wed on January 19!!!!!!!!

 

 

AHHHHH!!!!!! Finally!!!!!!! The date isn’t confirmed as some reports state they are marrying in February. Whatever. Rain announced through Instagram that he will be tying the knot with Kim Tae Hee. The ceremony will be small and private, and rumoured to be held at church. He sweetly mentioned in his message that she steadfastly, unwaveringly stood by him through the good and bad, and has done so much for him that has touched and moved on many levels. He also stated he was ready to be a husband. He ended his message declaring, “She is the greatest present of all.” OH MAAAAANNNNN. I’m gonna cry because it’s such a sweet, sincere message and totally aligned and fitting to how low-key they have been so far. Apparently, even their managers didn’t know until the last minute. I’m so happy for both since I love them individually and together to pieces. Congrats to the wonderful, gorgeous couple and I hope they will release at least one picture of their wedding!!!! LOVE.

***In SK, pre-nuptial agreement is nothing more than an agreement between the spouses to decide who is able to manage + dispose of each property during marriage. Such an agreement has no legal binding force upon divorce or the death of a spouse. That is how Korean courts view “prenuptial agreements.” A far cry from the Hollywood prenuptial agreements we sometimes hear about in the news. South Koreans are still hesitant to view marriage as a contractual relationship. Pre-nuptial to them is more on the terms about splitting housework & taking care of the children.

Rain, Kim Tae-hee become top celebrity husband and wife

SEOUL, Jan. 19 (Yonap) -- Singer-actor Rain and actress Kim Tae-hee tied the knot at a Catholic church in central Seoul on Thursday, becoming top celebrity husband and wife.

The two stars exchanged gifts and prayed during the modest wedding Mass at the Gahoe-dong Church, attended by only their family members, close friends and heads of their management agencies.

The bride opted for a simple knee-length dress with a bridal veil rather than a traditional wedding gown while the groom wore a black suit.

Among the celebrities invited were actor Ahn Sung-ki, singers Park Jin-young, Psy and Park Jun-hyeong of the first-generation idol group "god," as well as actress Lee Honey who attended the same university as Kim. Ahn was Rain's godfather when he was baptized in 2014.

 

Park Jin-young sang "You're The One," a proposal song that he composed for his wife, during the wedding.

Rain and Kim, both Catholic, announced their engagement just two days ago but did not disclose the date and venue because they wanted to make it low-key. They even informed the guests of the time and venue of the ceremony only this morning.

The wedding preparations went almost like a covert operation and the church was placed under tight security a few hours before the wedding as a large number of journalists gathered for the event. The groom arrived at around 1 p.m.

Fans and reporters, who had been waiting for hours in front of the church where the two celebrities usually attended services, hurriedly moved to Gahoe-dong after belatedly obtaining information on the wedding venue.

Congratulations to the power couple!

Hi J.lee, I missed you, dear! It's been a long while.................Thanks for sharing this here. Hahaha - our RAIN is now married....................What do you feel, dear? I hope we could get to see their babies soon. KTH is not getting any younger - Well, we know that there are risks of having a baby after 35..... Fertility rates begin to decline gradually at age 30, more so at 35. Even with fertility treatments such as in vitro fertilization, women have more difficulty getting pregnant as they age. You're also at higher risk of developing certain complications during pregnancy. Research also shows that your chances of having a low-birth-weight baby (less than 5 1/2 pounds) or a premature delivery increase with age. But, you can manage many of the risks of pregnancy at age 35 and up by seeing your doctor regularly for good prenatal care.
