The love for Lovely Runner continues to captivate fans, even months after its release. A South Korean couple recently went viral for their heartwarming wedding moment, which beautifully mirrored the iconic yellow umbrella scene from the hit Kdrama. The bride, Kim Hye Min, shared a video of the special moment on social media, never expecting it to gain over 1.8 million views.

Kim Hye Min and her husband, Jeon Byung Ju, unintentionally brought Lovely Runner’s beloved characters to life. In the video, Jeon Byung Ju is seen holding a yellow umbrella over his bride, who uses a wheelchair, just as Ryu Sun Jae does for Im Sol in the drama. Their touching moment quickly gained traction online, resonating deeply with fans of the show.

Reflecting on their newfound recognition, Kim Hye Min shared in an interview with The Korea Herald, “While we were on our honeymoon, a Korean couple recognized us. It was such a surreal moment.”

The couple’s journey began in the summer of 2018, during Kim Hye Min’s second year of college. Over time, their bond grew stronger, and despite her being in a wheelchair, Jeon Byung Ju never made her feel different. Their love only deepened, leading to their marriage after three years of dating.

At their wedding, Jeon Byung Ju performed Sudden Shower, a song from the Lovely Runner soundtrack, making the celebration even more special. Kim Hye Min expressed how she sees herself in the character of Im Sol, stating, “I think Im Sol and I share a bright personality. And just like she gained strength from Ryu Sun Jae to keep going, I got more confidence and courage in life after meeting my husband.”

Premiering in April 2024, Lovely Runner quickly became a global favourite. The tvN drama follows the story of Im Sol (Kim Hye Yoon) and Ryu Sun Jae (Byeon Woo Seok), whose love transcends time. The yellow umbrella, a key symbol in the series, represents their enduring connection. Before becoming paralyzed, Im Sol once offered her umbrella to protect Ryu Sun Jae from the rain. Years later, in a poignant moment, he shields her from the snow, rekindling their emotional bond.

Now, this real-life couple has brought that cherished scene to reality, proving that love stories aren’t just confined to the screen.
