In Aug., Gwak Sun-hee appeared on a YouTube channel and said, "(My same-sex partner) works at an F&B company in Seoul and is 30." They currently live together and are set to marry in Nov.
Gwak Sun-hee said, "While filing a move-in report, I tried to register as spouses, but because we are a same-sex couple, it was difficult to register as spouses, so we registered as cohabitants," adding, "I am going to New York in Nov. to run the New York Marathon, and (my partner) decided to accompany me. I heard there is a place there where a marriage vow is possible, so if we get the chance, we plan to do it while we're there."
After returning from New York, they plan to hold a wedding photoshoot in Jeju Island at the end of Nov.
On the 18th, Gwak Sun-hee drew attention by revealing that she had received a proposal from a partner. In the video released together, Gwak's partner kneels to propose, and Gwak Sun-hee beams as she receives the ring.
