Solbi and Lee Kyu-han announce marriage after meeting through 'Omanchu' program

Former girl group member Solbi and actor Lee Kyu-han have announced their marriage, becoming the first couple formed through the 'Omanchu' (reconnecting with old acquaintances) program. During the 593rd episode of the VIVO TV variety show 'Secret Guarantee,' the couple detailed their journey from their first meeting to their decision to marry.

"A reunion started with apples" Lee Kyu-han's seasonal apple gifts and Solbi's changing heart

While their connection began through the 'Omanchu' project, their relationship did not immediately turn into a romance following the broadcast. Solbi confessed to feeling hurt at the time because Lee Kyu-han did not make her his final choice, describing him as "unattractive" in the sense that she wondered, "He clearly seems to have feelings for me, so why didn't he choose me?" This caused her pride to be wounded to the point that they did not contact each other for a while.

The ice was broken by Lee Kyu-han's "apology." To express his regret for not making a final choice at the time, Lee consistently sent Solbi different varieties of apples every season. Solbi explained that she initially accepted the fruit because she felt one should first accept an apple being given by someone, adding, "Thanks to that, my heart opened." It was reported that Lee sent the apples to convey his apologies from that time.

Following this, Lee actively expressed his interest by paying the tuition and participating in a drawing class run by Solbi. Solbi stated she was moved by his sincere attitude, noting, "I could feel that he was putting in effort."

"A person who respects my work" Why Solbi decided to marry

Lee Kyu-han's attitude played a key role in Solbi's decision to marry, despite her strong tendency to enjoy being alone. "I had thoughts about wanting to have children, but above all, I wanted to get married because I met someone who is completely on my side, respecting and supporting the work I do," Solbi said.

The couple also mentioned the promise they made during the 'Omanchu' broadcast to support their honeymoon upon marriage. Solbi showed specific interest in traveling to Sicily or Rome in southern Italy, stating, "I have already researched everything." In response, the cast members congratulated the couple, jokingly suggesting they would attend the wedding wearing hanbok.

Testing the ability to play alone and imagination for a 'God-saeng' life

Following the marriage announcement, a segment was held to test the cast members' "hon-nol-ryeok" (the ability to play alone). Various stages of testing, such as going to cafes, shopping, and watching movies, revealed their individual personalities. Solbi demonstrated a high level of independence by stating she is capable of grilling meat by herself at a restaurant.

In a subsequent segment featuring examples of people who enjoy being alone, ways to spend solitary time productively were presented. One participant drew laughter by sharing "God-saeng" (diligent life) tips, such as exercising and cooking while imagining they are a "guest on an observational variety show" promoting a new song as a popular idol.
