A Real Life K-Drama?

I read this article in the Digital Chosunilbo. I thought it was interesting because it sounds like basis for Korean drama. I wonder if he is actually in love with another MIT grad student, who struggles to support her poor family in Korea. Or wait- No could actually be in love with a cameraman- or her bodyguard- and her family is pushing the wedding. OK, just kidding, best wishes to the new couple.

’Ice Princess’ to Wed Hyundai Prince

With her sophisticated looks and precise enunciation, the KBS presenter No Hyun-jung (27) is sometimes called an "ice princess" despite enjoying greater popularity than some movie stars. On Tuesday, her handlers broke a lot of hearts by announcing that No will soon be marrying Chung Dae-sun (29), the third son of the late Hyundai Aluminum chairman Chung Mong-woo, and a grandson of the Hyundai conglomerate’s founder Chung Ju-young. The two will tie the knot on Aug. 27 at the Seoul Hyatt on Mt.Namsan.

No presents the KBS morning news program Newsplaza and is also a regular on the network's flagship entertainment program “Old & New” and on “Star Golden Bell.”Chung graduated in accounting at the University of California at Berkeley and since September has been continuing his studies abroad at MIT.

The match came to pass because No’s father got to know the Hyundai family after working as a supplier for the company and by chance found himself talking marriage with them. The two families reportedly met up in Japan, and the date for the wedding was chosen on Monday. Born in 1979, No majored in Child and Family Studies at Kyung Hee University and in 2003 started as a presenter on public channel KBS, and has since risen to a preeminent role.
