The time after year is really colorful!
Because just after the Spring Festival, everyone was full of red light and energetic! Then we got one good news after another during the Winter Olympics: ... Xu Mengtao, Gu Ailing, Su Yiming, Qi Guangpu! Coupled with the Valentine's Day and Lantern Festival of the front foot catching up with the back foot, it seems that it is not easy to be quiet in this era of information inundation!
But there are exceptions to everything, and if you think about what happened on February 10th? It is estimated that the small partners have to go to the mobile phone to recall the Weibo hot search or headlines, but it seems that nothing big has happened!
In fact, there was a "big thing" that day, but because the parties were relatively "low-key", they did not cause a sensation. South Korea's top CP, famous actors Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin officially announced their marriage on social platforms. Here's a related english story:
英文是Korean actress and bride-to-be Son Ye-jin talked about her upcoming marriage to “Crash Landing on You “co-star Hyun Bin…… The press conference is Son Ye-jin’s first public event since surprising her fans and colleagues in the entertainment industry on Feb.10 with her announcement that she and Hyun Bin are getting married in March in Seoul.

The press conference was her first public event since february 10 when she suddenly announced to fans and entertainment industry colleagues that she and Hyun Bin were about to get married in Seoul in March. ”
The little partner may say: "Are the official announcements still low-key?" ”
In fact, they are relatively low-key, because just by virtue of the popularity of these two big coffee, if they are high-profile, they can choose to officially announce their marriage on February 14, Valentine's Day, then the response must be great, and the traffic must be appropriate!
We are not entertainment journalists, and we are not in a position to dwell on the reasons for this. However, these two can maintain relative cleanliness in the materialistic entertainment circle, and it is reasonable to choose to handle their marriage affairs in a low-key manner.
