  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.

Dear Yongddongi Kim Yong-seon! ♥
Hello. It's me. Yoonddongi! Eum... It's my first time to write a letter like this, I don't know how to start. We have been married already for 8 months. At first, we're very awkward and we didn't know what to do with each other, remember that time? ㅋㅋㅋ However, it was good that without knowing we play and become a comfortable couple ^__^ I should have done better, taken care of you more, and been a good husband... Eum... I feel regretful. ㅋㅋ Thank you for not only being a good wife, but also a good friend during that time! Thank you!

I think I was thankful and happy to be married with a person called Solar, who's energetic on the stage, and Kim Yong-seon, who has pretty laugh appearance. Today's end isn't eternal end, so I don't want to part sadly. In the future, even when we can't see (each other) often, I'll always watch over and support you! Thank you for marrying me. Saranghae. I ♥ you.

– From Yoonddongi –

[zozoghiz]

I'm really happy that i can see both of them in one program since they are my favs, they have great voices and personnalities so I'm sure they are gonna be fun to watch ... they are the harmony couple for me  

[SnowApple]

Who's going to be the next MC-turned-show-participant? First it was Hong Jin Young, now Eric.  Secretly hoping for ChoA.

Anyhow, this is an interesting couple. I found myself re-watching MAMAMOO's After School Club episode and suddenly this moment stood out. Solar was asked what she would do to get a handsome guy's attention.

She was looking at U-KISS's Kevin when she was explaining, but then her eyes noticeably went to the left afterwards, where Eric was sitting. Eric even half-jokingly went, "She's looking at me! She's seducing me, guys!" A few seconds later, they asked her to make that kind of eye contact with the camera, and after she did it, Kevin went (in Korean), "Wow, Eric-hyung really liked that." To which Eric awkwardly responded (in English), "HA, HA, HA! Let's move on..." kekekekekeke

Great news, can't wait.  

[stellarshimmers]

Jumping early into this ship!!!

They already started filming~

[cocosweety1]

I am very much ready for this episode already. I love these two people. I feel I'm gonna be stuck in a new ship for a long time again 

[rushie5]

I was secretly hoping for his virtual bride to be Choa, but Solar looks cute too. I can't wait for uri Snowglobe Couple (I'm calling them this because they look cute enough to put in a snowglobe) to show us their cuteness.

[pochacco3]

i am shipping this couple already, despite their 1st episode not aired yet.  Maybe with this couple, I can watch the show on a weekly basis now.  

[xHanaParkx]

im ready for them 

[ModiaD]

love this couple....

[mademoiselfe]

Yay !

I can't wait for the first episode. I really like those two individually, I'm really curious to see how they will interact with each other.

I liked when Eric was part of WGM panel. I remember his comments about JJongah couple, he seemed to be envious of their dates. He said he liked bubbly, bright girls : with Solar, he has found his match !

I'm happy to join the Solric ship (or whatever name it is).

[unhskikr4ever]

YASSSSSSS. Thanks for creating this thread, LavelyShai! Looking forward to their segment.

[xHanaParkx]

Eric: Waifu, you're voice cracked, are you okay?

Mamamoo bully-line: *looks at Solar then laughs*

 

[ruken]

Hey everyone

As someone who likes Eric Nam and watches WGM very diligently (lol) I wanted to say "Hey ! " I enjoyed watching a lot of couples, a few became my favourite and the news of these two becoming a couple made my day/week. 

I can see myself rooting for Eric and Solar,  even without seeing their 1st meeting as a couple. 

Thank you @lavelyshai for opening the thread. You are the best 

 

[miri13]

Thanks@lavelyshai for opening the thread.  It is nice to see you here @ruken.  I miss my OhYeah couple, but I am looking forward to this couple.  This couple may bring me back to WGM.  anyone know when their first episode is?

[miri13]

Nevermind.  I find out the answer to my question via this story on soompi.  ha ha, I guess WGM gets on the escape from jail/room craze and locks him up as his first mission.  I like it already.

http://www.soompi.com/2016/04/08/eric-nam-starts-off-his-we-got-married-journey-in-jail/

 

[ruken]

@miri13 its good to see you too   and thanks for posting the news.

 Hope that more of our friends join us here to a new journey with a new couple.

[ruken]

That was hilarious. Poor Eric , he went through a lot and i enjoyed every bit of it  

Still it would be better if we could see Solar more.
