However, some are usual people who have humanity who have a harmonious family and raise their babies quite well. There are several celebrity couples who show an ideal marriage life.


Cha In-pho ♡ Shin Ae-ra

One example of the celebrity couples is Cha In-pho and Shin Ae-ra. They are both famous movie stars and married in 1995. Today, when couples get married, they want to have very big and showy ceremonies and as a result, they waste money. However, this couple had a small wedding ceremony, so they could save the money for their wedding. After they got married, they have done a lot of good works. They have donated money and encouraged donations for poor countries and children periodically.

 They have three children and among them, two daughters are adoptees. Because of their adoption, they get some money from the government. However, they donate that money to other people. They say, “We just have more family members, so there is no reason for taking the money. Just bless us.” The oldest son is their only biological child. He is influenced by his parents and accepts his adopted sisters and loves them sincerely.
 Among their good works, the most impressive thing is their contribution to education. They have a very expensive building in Cheongdam-dong. However, it’s not for earning money. They rent this building only for children’s education and take half the rental fee. Also about education, they support an alternative school for North Korean defectors. 






 Kang hey jung ♡ Tablo

 One of the most famous actress-and-singer couples is the couple Kang hey jung & Tablo. However, they had a very awful start at first. Neither did he nor she expect they would end up in marriage. They first met in a cellphone store, but without recognizing who she was, Tablo started an argument in an impolite way. However, they later got in touch thanks to the actor Bong tae kyu and resolved the misunderstanding. As soon as they met, they became close very fast since they shared the various kinds of interests such as in music and art. It was so natural for them to be in a relationship as a cute couple. They didn’t hesitate to go out on dates in public places and weren’t afraid of showing themselves. They soon got married and gave birth to their beautiful child named Haru and seemed so happy. However, their marriage life didn’t go as happily as they expected.

 Right after the marriage, Tablo, the proud father of Haru and a head of a household, was linked to rumors that he fabricated his academic records. A few groups of people started to doubt the fact and the members increased exponentially to two hundred thousand and it was regarded as a big social problem.

  Even though it turned out to be a groundless rumor which was started because of someone’s jealousy, it took so many years of pain for Tablo to prove his innocence. He lost opportunities to perform and the public turned against him. Since there was no income, he and his wife had a serious hard time maintaining a home. Hey Jung, who had previously played the main characters on movie, couldn’t be choosy under such difficult situation. She had to accept small roles to make money for a living. Matters went from bad to worse with Tablo’s father passing away. Despite the difficulties, Hey Jung remained loyal to him.

After constant lawsuits and a long legal battle, he was finally cleared of the charges, and the core members of the anti group were arrested. The couple’s financial situation got better and both made a successful comeback. They appreciate those hard times and feel it made their love even greater and stronger. Their love and faith tells the world how love can make people so strong to overcome difficulties no matter how difficult they are.
