So to start this off, yes I know it’s a bit late, but better late than never right? When I had first heard of this show “We Got Married” and heard our Seobaby had been on it, I thought to myself “Wow she’s never been in a relationship before, she’s so young, innocent and pure, she likes goguma’s more than boys! This should be interesting!” I had also read that when the Goguma Couple was announced, they were met with great disapproval by the fans. I’m not exactly sure why they thought this (or maybe it’s because I’m a SONE and I watch everything related to SNSD regardless). So I decided, I had to watch this whole thing play out for myself.
First off, you have Seo Joo-Hyun. The innocent, pure, book reading diligent girl. Our Definitive Maknae. The one who’s idol is none other than UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon. Your girl next door who cares about making the world a better place, and has no interest in boys whatsoever. Shoot, she even said herself she’d pick goguma’s over boys any day!! Haha.
Then there’s Jung Yong Hwa. Your typical tough guy from Busan. He’s mischievous, playful, and a total choding. The guy who picked Bon Jovi as his idol because he has been successful in the music industry for 30 years. The guy who was totally caught off guard by Seohyun’s idol answer of Ban Ki-moon. Oh man, how would these two even be able to speak to each other being such polar opposites?
Well, they didn’t much that first episode. Lots of awkward silences, not knowing what to say to each other. Seobaby even went as far as to pull her diary out with questions to ask! You could tell she was a bit uncomfortable, but tried her best to make this fake marriage work.
As time went on, their chemistry together got better and better. Even though Yooong acted like a choding and tough guy in some instances, inside he was genuinely a caring person at heart. Instances include the many times he spent drawing out Hyuuun in his gifts to her, giving her a guidebook for entering the Japanese market, spending years knitting not one, but two scarves (and to make up for his mistake of course), making her breakfast or buying her a pink guitar that she didn’t need, just because he knew she REALLY wanted it. Or maybe it was because of Hyuuun that Yooong transformed from that mischievous boy into a more caring person ;).
So, from that beginning of awkward silences, polite bows, honorific talk, polite eating…to talking to each other with ease, holding hands comfortably, stuffing their faces without care, back hugs and even kisses, this couple had come a long way and sure showed their growth as individuals and as a couple.
To celebrate their time on We Got Married (which I wish would’ve lasted just a bit longer), I made a video showcasing every cute, fuzzy moment imaginable. Whether or not they decide to become a real couple down the road is totally up to them, but I’m definitely cheering them on to make it happen ;)! Enjoy!

Will S said:
That feel when you wish Goguma couple is real but it’s pretty obvious Seohyun only sees him as a friend even though he likes her more

Goguma Couple Daebak!!!
justea said:
maknae ah…you’ve grown up! XD
SNSD, fighting! ^^
Erick said:
Is it just me? Or in most of the WGM couples, the guy usually seems more affectionate towards the girls. Especially Goguma, Khuntoria couples and Eunjung and Jang Woo. I haven’t really followed any other couples tho.
Cloud said:
cute couple.. ^^
Jesse Tong said:
I got goosebumps a lot of times throughout the show, but not from being scared of course, but because of the emotions and, I guess, “love”. I truly wish in the future, whoever my girlfriend will be, will have a bit of similarity to Seohyun, even 1% of Seohyun’s caring or kind personality will be more than enough.
At the end, when Seohyun came back out to hug Yonggg, I felt soooooo touched. That night before I went to sleep I was bored and couldn’t really sleep so I thought back on WGM, and then the happiness and such of seeing them being such a great match made me fall asleep!
Goguma couple is the best!

saranghae we got married..!!!
ed said:
woahh i missed them a lot ! best couple in WGM. hope they are dating for real.
Soul said:
I’ve already set all of them free. . . so I could just watch them grow up, haha 😀 I think sometimes I could get jealous of their couples, every members couples and it is normal for me because I am man. I could just wish on a shooting star that Someday I could be one of their couple (Such a big dream ;)).
But still I am proud for Seohyun for growing up and of course she deserves a responsible man (Well every man that is part of their life should be responsibe). haha 🙂 congrats to them.
Good video by the way 😀
sansa said:
to be honest I almost cried during the last episode …T_T want the goguma couple baaaaack!!!! and yep I’m a boy gotta love soshi and everything conected to them…xD
david said:
I remembered yearning for every sunday’s release of goguma couple as well. They got so natural and compatible eventually. Don’t really understand why some fans would disapprove of them. It is a show, besides even if they do date in actual behind the scene, Soshi are humans also, they need to progress in life as well.
ObieVIP said:
Behind the scene? Seems like we get pictures or videos of the girls every day of their life for the last few years. I don’t think there is any “behind the scenes”. If they got together somewhere…we’d probably see it on here. Besides, I would guess SM Entertainment has some restrictions about dating or marriage in their contracts…at least for now. Would love to see them wind up together, though. fighting!

Kie said:
truthfully, i didnt like the news of yonghwa and seohyun tgt but after watching them i started to love them and now i cant get enuff of them. Beautiful fmv 🙂 it juss made me miss them even more ❤
Terrez said:
I sort of remember when the both of them got off to a bit of a rocky start at the beginning. It was awkward, but as time went on, Yonghwa and Seohyun began to open their hearts and embrace each other as the series progressed. They got to know each other better; their strengths, weaknesses, interests, etc. They took on the responsibilities of ‘parents’, providing for one another, and grew to be mature adults as a result. They went on adventures to scenic locales and it further solidified their growing love and concern for each other. When in the face of adversity, the Goguma couple would usually struggle initially, before overcoming them. If not, they would make promises to each other and strive to become better, and the effort often pays off in the end. Even when apart due to promotional activities or their hectic schedules, they would always come back together to that familiar-looking living room to share their experiences and accolades with each other, even if it’s a simple chat. Finally, you knew it was true, when the Goguma couple worked on a song and sang it together, expressing their love for… each other, and performed it live in front of thousands of ardent fans.
Yes, I know I stress the words ‘each other’ a lot, but what does this tell us? That it’s odd, how a ‘fake’ marriage would actually mirror a real one. When all of us sitting behind our computer or television screens are laughing at Seohyun’s hilarious antics or Yonghwa applying makeup for the first time, you have to realize the underlying factor that it was all a genuine attempt to be closer to each other. To understand each other, what makes either of them tick. Prove of the love slowly but surely blossoming between them. The compatibility and spontaneity between the two of them was sort of unprecedented (by my standards), even if they were forced to be together by the producers. Never had I seen anything so natural come out of a reality-TV series, and it’s that chemistry between them which made watching the Goguma Couple so fascinating and entertaining. The Goguma Couple were no longer just two Korean celebrities who have never met each other before and were thrust into a random marriage situation, they had grown into something we can all relate to. Something we all know, love, and cherish.
Sadly, while their story has come to an end on television, it will never cease to exist. As long as Seohyun and Yonghwa are alive, their story and legacy will continue to
persist in the minds of fans. We can all hope that one day, they will actually get married. That will be a fairytale come true. Night or Day, Rain or Shine, Loss or Victory, there’s no denying how much of an impact the Goguma couple has made, and it only seems befitting that I say…
Long live the Goguma Couple!
(P.S: my first, true attempt at writing.)

These are obviously talented and nice people but does anyone ever watch documentaries or look into the political machinations of their country in Korea? Or shall we watch reality television while the union busters and crime syndicates working for the chaebol take everything?
GGcou said:
Best editorial feature I’ve read this past few months. Not bordering on over personal thoughts and very well written for an editorial as compared to a few I’ve read recently.
Tastefully done and it was short and precise and very enjoyable to read.
Much better from this site and I hope you write more features soon! Definitely one of the better writers this site has to offer.

They are sooo cute together
yeahyeahyeah said:
Yongseo couple can be so popular is because we, viewers, can feel their feelings for each other. It’s the mutual attraction that captivated me. The eyes shone when they looked at each other. They relaxed as time passed. We can see that, I can see that. When they parted, their final hug, although not a full, bear hug, those kind of grab you and suffocating hug, it’s filled with emotions. It seemed to say, “Thank you for all these while, sorry for not be able to spend more time with you and I will miss you. Please don’t go.” Yonghwa and Seohyun looked like they were going to burst into tears any time soon. Feelings are not the amount of skinship. Yongseo couple, FIGHTING! ❤
Nicole said:
I’m sorry I just watched the whole series and I was wondering why is it that yoong said to her “I can’t believe I’m dropping you off at your house ” and why is it there last day meeting ?!
Is it like there last day meeting before the marriage? Or that this whole tv show isn’t real and they are not husband and wife? sorry for the long discription 😐 please answer back,
Nicole
