Shim Hyung-tak's Fiancé Hirai Saya opened a social networking account. Attention is focused on the future activities of a Japanese bride-to-be who is 18 years younger than her.
Saya Hirai posted several photos on her newly created account on the 23rd with the following messages: "I will continue to live fighting with Mr. Shim," "Ahahaha, Mr. Shim, you prepared well," and "I also included kimbap." The photo shows him being friendly with Shim Hyung-tak and playing with his dog. Saya Hirai attracts attention with her small face and cute aura. Shim Hyung-tak's face with his bride-to-be is full of smiles.
Saya Hirai also revealed a caricature of herself drawn by Shim Hyeong-tak, saying, "Oh, thank you so much, but... the kimbap... Mr. Shim." He used the picture as his account profile picture and showed his affection for Shim Hyung-tak. Shim Hyung-tak also wrote about the bride-to-be's account in the introduction to his account profile, saying, "Starting Saya Instagram."
Shim Hyung-tak and Hirai Saya have been appearing on TV Chosun's 'Joseon's Lovers' since the 10th. The two people confessed how they met on this broadcast. Shim Hyung-tak, who always likes the 'Doraemon' character, visited Akihabara, Japan for filming and fell in love at first sight with his bride-to-be, who was an employee of a large Japanese toy company and the general manager of the site. It is said that Shim Hyung-tak introduced himself as “I am a handsome Korean actor” during their first meeting. He also thought about marrying her and kept asking her how she was doing even after returning to Korea.
Shim Hyung-tak's courtship, which was so passionate that he went to Japan alone for the first time to see Hirai Sarya, was successful, and their marriage took place. Saya left the toy company and chose to go to Korea. It is said that the two people were so affectionate that they continued to meet each other using a translator even though they did not understand each other's language.
Saya said her first impression of Shim Hyung-tak was, “He looked like a tall thief.” Shim Hyung-tak said, “I thought you liked my appearance,” and promised, “I will continue to be cooler,” revealing his side as a lover. The two have been in a relationship for four years, traveling back and forth between Korea and Japan. Shim Hyung-tak, who has already proposed, plans to get married in July in Yamanashi, Japan, where Saya's relatives live.
Some are saying that Saya's online account opening was intended to pursue broadcasting activities. This is because Jun Jin's wife Ryu Yi-seo, Lim Chang-jung's wife Seo Ha-yan, and Park Soo-hong's wife Kim Da-ye became famous through couple entertainment shows. Those who have become celebrities have not only become models for various brands such as cosmetics and clothing, but are also active on various social platforms such as YouTube. Attention is being paid to the future activities of the 18-year-older-younger couple, whether Shim Hyung-tak and Saya Hirai will also continue these activities in the future.
