TV Report Views  

Song Ji Eun, a former member of the K-pop group Secret, and YouTuber Park We (of Weracle) are set to tie the knot on October 9th. Their shared faith played a significant role in their relationship, a common factor among many celebrity couples. We’ve gathered a list of stars who found their partners thanks to their shared religion.

Firstly, Song Ji Eun and Park We met through comedian Kim Giri. During an appearance on the YouTube channel Weracle last December, Song Ji Eun confessed about her first meeting with Park We. She revealed that they first met at a church’s dawn service and was instantly smitten with him, saying, “It was love at first sight. It was as if there was a light shining behind him.” She wasn’t bothered by his disability, only seeing him.

They began following each other’s social media accounts, exchanged birthday messages, and quickly grew closer, eventually becoming a couple.

Both are Christians, and Song Ji Eun has previously hosted the CBS testimony program Renew Us. Park We was diagnosed with tetraplegia after fracturing his cervical spine in 2014, but he successfully rehabilitated and now lives using a wheelchair. He continues inspiring and comforting many people through his YouTube channel, Weracle.

Song Ji Eun expressed her amazement at meeting Park We, saying, “Before I met him, I was praying for a spouse. It felt like my prayers were answered when I met him.”
