Kwon Sang woo and Son Tae-Young

Son Tae-Young and actor Kwon Sang-Woo married on September 28th, 2008 at the Shilla Hotel in Seoul. The couple were first introduced to each other through actor Kim Sung-Su (Kwon's co-star on the television show "Cruel Love") while having dinner together. The couple has one son born on February 6, 2009.

Kwon Sang Woo’s dedication to his wife revealed during ‘Pain’ press conference:

Kwon Sang Woo‘s close friend of 10 years, actor Kim Hyung Joon, revealed the hidden story of Kwon Sang Woo and Son Tae Young‘s relationship.

Kwon Sang Woo’s close friend Kim Hyung Joon went up on stage. Kim Hyung Joon said of his friend, “He is someone who becomes so damaged because of his honesty. I am saying this now, but when Kwon Sang Woo married Son Tae Young, he had a really hard time“.

Kim Hyung Joon continued, “At the time, there were absurd rumors on the internet that couldn’t even be mentioned. Consequently, Kwon Sang Woo became distressed because of this. At that time, Kwon Sang Woo was such a popular star that it was really difficult to announce his marriage to Son Tae Young“.

Because of Kwon Sang Woo’s many CFs and contracts, he could not announce his marriage to Son Tae Young that easily. Kim Hyung Joon added, “I’ve been friends with Kwon Sang Woo for 10 years and I don’t think I remember a time that he had such a difficult time with something. One time we even went to the Han River and he bawled his eyes out. I think it was my first time seeing him like that“.

At the Han River, Kwon Sang Woo said while crying, “I have to protect my woman. I can’t just break my promise I made to her. I want to keep that promise no matter what”. He then settled his emotions by telling himself, “I started with nothing so it’s okay if I go back to nothing“.

Kim Hyung Joon went on to say, “At the time of Kwon Sang Woo’s marriage announcement, the amount of money that he lost would probably have been around the same as what one would’ve obtained by winning the lottery 10 times. I couldn’t be more proud of Kwon Sang Woo, who chose to keep his love despite all this. When I see him happily raising a family it makes me envious. He’s a wonderful person“.

He had proposed to her with a necklace on a hot-air balloon and vowed to love each other.
