Allkpop | Se7en and Park Han Byul to marry?


Actress Park Han Byul ‘accidentally’ revealed her thoughts of marriage with singer Se7en!

During the broadcast of MBC “Come to Play”, aired on the 7th, guests Park Han Byul, Yoon Eun Hye, and Yoo In Na talked about marriage.

Park Han Byul, who has been dating Se7en for 10 years already, stated, “I have dated for about 10 years now. So, when my friends talk about dating, I cannot understand them well. On the other hand, I seem to understand the couples who have been married for 30 years when I watch programs that have older guests.”

Hearing this, Jung Ju Ri asked, “Are you going to marry that person (Se7en)?” In response, Park Han Byul stuttered, “Should I?” by asking and agreeing at the same time.

Park Han Byul also revealed a “Roller-coaster Event” that Se7en had done for her, making all the other female guests jealous.

Allkpop | Park Han Byul shares her feelings about being apart from Se7en



On March 10th, actress Park Han Byul participated in an interview with Star News and revealed her feelings on having to be apart from her boyfriend, Se7en, for long periods of time because of their busy schedules.

When asked whether she’d be able to wait for him once his time to enlist in the army came, she replied, “I’ve never thought about it deeply because it feels like something that won’t happen until well into our future. Honestly, I’ve technically already sent him away to the army three times now. He promoted in Japan and the U.S. so frequently, we spent a lot of time apart.”

The actress was then asked to name some of the changes their relationship underwent after going public with their relationship. “It’s true that everything became a lot more comfortable. I’m not good at lying so I was scared that people would ask when I went on interviews or talk shows. Now I’m more confident and at ease since I have nothing to hide.”

She continued, “We revealed it in order to show people that we were in a healthy and happy relationship. I’m understanding of the attention it’s received and try to be honest to the best of my ability, but I do get upset when the media exaggerates what I say about him and emphasizes only the bad things.”

To conclude, Park Han Byul added, “For example, someone will probably take what I said here and write an article titled, ‘She tried to show the happy sides, but…’ I’m honestly very happy, and I don’t want our relationship to be reflected in a way that tries to prove I’m tired of it.”

Park Han Byul reveals she wants to marry after 30

Actress Park Han Byul (27) revealed, “I’m thinking to marry Dongwook (Se7en) after I turn 30.”

On March 10th, the star was interviewed by Newsen to promote her upcoming movie, “My Black Minidress.” During the interview, she clarified her marriage rumors with her 10-year boyfriend, Se7en.

Recently, Park Han Byul became a topic of hot interest when she said, “Let’s live well” to Se7en on MBC’s variety show “Come to Play.” Netizens wondered, “Are they getting married soon?”

Park Han Byul responded, “Maybe if I was living in my mother’s era, but I think that thinking about marriage as a 27-28 year-old is a bit early. That day, the theme of ‘Come to Play’ was ‘women who wanted to marry’; I said those things to match the show.”

She continued, “I have a lot of unnies around me who are over 30 and are working hard, but most of them are single. Nothing can be guaranteed in a person’s life, but I want to marry after I turn 30. I think Dongwook feels the same.

Park Han Byul also revealed that it was Se7en who encouraged her to take the role in ‘My Black Minidress’. Since she normally plays innocent and ultra-feminine roles, he thought it would be interesting for her to take on a character who enjoyed partying and dating around.

She stated, “After seeing the scenario, Dongwook said, ‘I think you will match well with this’, and encouraged me to try the role. At the final recording, he even brought 100 servings of chicken and pizza to the set, which made me proud”, showing a slight smile.

Allkpop | Park Han Byul reveals how she and Se7en began dating


On March 8th, actress Park Han Byul guested on SBS’s “Strong Heart” and revealed the steps it took for her and boyfriend Se7en to become an official couple.

The actress was asked to describe her first impression of Se7en.

She laughed,”When I first saw him, his skin was so smooth – I really thought he was very feminine. He was just so pretty, I thought to myself, how could men even look like that? One day, he called me and asked whether I had a boyfriend or not.”

When prodded for her reply, Park Han Byul continued, “I had a boyfriend at the time, so I said I did have one. He replied, ‘I was going to introduce you to an amazing guy, what a disappointment.’”

“I told him to introduce him to my friend instead of me, and he said, ‘Never mind, forget it,’ and hung up. A couple of months later, I broke up with my boyfriend and Se7en contacted me again, asking whether I had a boyfriend still. After that, we just naturally began to date.”

Park Han Byul concluded, “I later found out that the ‘amazing guy’ he wanted to introduce me to was Se7en himself!”

Se7en greets Filipino Lucky Se7ens




Through 5 years of the career triumph, Se7en maintains his position as the top male singer in Korea. Four #1 albums, eight #1 singles, numerous awards that he collected and advertisement contracts with major companies in Korea are not enough to explain the Se7en's triumph in music business. Rather, it's his passion and efforts dedicated to music that will explain better about his success.

Universal Records will release Se7en's "Digital Bounce" album!
