Female TV Star Reveals Plans To Marry Girlfriend, Says They’re Already Living Together
The Iron Squad W (also known as Steel Troops W) contestant Kwak Sun Hee (Kwak Sunny) revealed that she is planning on getting married to her girlfriend in November. On a YouTube show, Kwak Sun Hee appeared with her non-celebrity girlfriend and talked about their relationship.
Kwak Sun Hee introduced herself as “a former first lieutenant of the 53rd Infantry Division” turned model and marathoner. Her girlfriend introduced herself as a “30-year-old employee at a company in Seoul.” The two met, thanks to a mutual love for bread.
People often ask who made the first move or confessed first. I think many still find it unusual when relationships develop naturally. But I really love bread, so I often go to the same bakery. I hadn’t gone for a while because I was busy, but when I visited again, my girlfriend was at the counter. She kept smiling at me through her mask, and I thought, ‘Do I have something on my face?’ But it turned out she recognized me from The Iron Squad W.
Her smile was so beautiful. On my second visit, I fell for her even more just from watching her make coffee. Her neat hairstyle, shoulders, and the way she wore her apron really left an impression. When I bought bread and left, I even flirted first, telling her to DM me.

In response to a fan asking if she didn’t find her fellow Iron Squad contestants attractive, Kwak Sun Hee commented that she had not realized her sexual orientation until after the show aired.
I didn’t go on the show to meet women. In fact, up until the show aired last year, I thought I was straight. I was there as a soldier, not to find women. I really hope people don’t misunderstand.

Revealing that the two are already living together, the couple also shared their wedding plans. Kwan admitted that, in Korea as of now, it is not possible for them to become a legally married couple. But Kwak Sun Hee and her girlfriend are not giving up!
We tried to register each other as spouses when we changed our residency, but the district office told us that since we’re both women, we could only be registered as cohabitants. But in November, I’ll be in New York for the marathon, and my girlfriend will come with me. We found out there’s a place where we can exchange marriage vows there, so if possible, we plan to do it. After returning, we’ll have a wedding photoshoot in Jeju at the end of November.

Kwak Sun Hee sounded hopeful as she added, “I never thought about marriage before, but meeting her made the word come naturally. I want to live with her, even dream about having children that resemble us. When I can so clearly picture us in a wedding dress and tuxedo, I think that’s proof I really want to marry her.”
