Korean celebrity couples that are couple goals

They are hot, popular, and more than 'just friends'

Unlike Hollywood celebrity relationships that are out in the open, Korean celebrity dating is a bit of a hush-hush affair. With little concrete news coming out in social media and the press, it's mostly about conjecture and gossip.

Fans of K-dramas and Korean pop culture are resigned that if their favourite celebrities are romantically involved in real life, their relationship will remain under wraps till it culminates in an engagement or marriage.

Shubhangi Saxena, 20, who studies at Banaras Hindu University, is an avid K-drama fan who has seen more than 20 Korean shows and is learning the language to understand the culture.

"It's hard to hide a romantic relationship if you are famous," she said. "K- pop and drama fans are always hoping to see their favourite on-screen couples date in real life too. Interestingly, many Korean celebrity couples who met on the sets of popular K-dramas are off-screen couples, and some are even married as well. One of my favourite K-couples is Shin Min Ah and Kim Woo Bin because their real-life story is more exciting than their on-screen romance."

Here's a list of the five K-drama celebrities who are real-life sweethearts.

Shin Min Ah and Kim Woo Bin

From falling in love to facing hardships together, this K-celebrity couple wants us to believe in love not just on-screen but in real life as well. Kim Woo Bin has been dating "Oh My Venus" star Shin Min Ah since 2015, when they met first for an editorial shoot. Later, the two lovebirds officially confirmed their relationship status in the same year. While Kim Woo Bin battled cancer, his beloved Shin Min Ah stood with him throughout his health crisis and helped him make a comeback. Their fans hope they will tie the knot this year.
