Singer Song Ha-ye (32) has married '1.03 million-subscriber YouTuber' Jo Mae-rak (32, real name Jo Jang-woo), bringing renewed attention to their first meeting video.

Song Ha-ye and Jo Mae-rak's relationship began just five months ago, starting when Song appeared as a guest on Jo's YouTube channel in March this year.

In the video released on March 7, Song said, "I came with the feeling of a blind date, thinking 'Jo Mae-rak must be someone charming, I'll get to know them.' Isn't it true that people enjoy getting to know each other?" creating a subtle atmosphere. In response, Jo replied, "I explained things, but I thought it would be better if you didn't know beforehand. It feels more like 'I hope we become friends' than an invitation to the front row." Song then repeatedly insisted, "I said it was a blind date earlier," showing unusual excitement.

Flustered by Song's bold charm, Jo remarked, "Don't you have a public image?" while Song bluntly replied, "No."

Jo explained, "Turns out we're the same age. She didn't know anything about me or what this channel is about. This is a music channel."

As someone also active as a singer, Jo introduced himself: "I don't perform alone. I play jazz with a big band of 18 people." Song responded enthusiastically, "That's cool. It looks different."

Notably, when Jo mentioned, "My mom and sister said they'd be on the broadcast today," Song immediately greeted him politely, saying, "So this is a non-face-to-face parental introduction, right? Hello, mother."

Song then revealed, "I've been wanting to date lately." This led to questions about her ideal type. Song answered, "I like 'weirdos.' Someone crazy like me. We need similar energy. A weirdo who can handle my 'weirdness level.'" Jo reacted with, "Oh, there won't be many like that," drawing laughter.

Song also joked to Jo, "Saying you're suppressing someone's weirdness actually means not reacting at all. I know you secretly like it but are trying to maintain discipline." He added, "I like faces that show their feelings openly. But don't mistake me for being one of those people," displaying a magnetic charm that came and went.

From their first meeting, Song Ha-ye and Jo Mae-rak formed a sweet chemistry. Jo also emphasized their perfect harmony by inscribing the message "We had a non-face-to-face parental introduction" on the thumbnail.

Moreover, when the video was posted, Song left a comment: "Mae-rak (Jo Mae-rak), so where should our next date be?" Ultimately, this has become a sacred site for the 'birth of a couple,' receiving warm congratulations from netizens. Comments poured in: "This is real," "Congratulations on your marriage," "You were actually dating," "Aaaah," "Now you'll date at home. Congratulations," "Men must really be charming," "Why is this so real?", "I've come for a pilgrimage," "They're already married after just meeting?", "Looking back, it's so sweet," and "How weird is Jo Mae-rak?"

Meanwhile, on the 25th, Song Ha-ye personally announced her marriage via a handwritten letter on her Instagram: "Although I've always dreamed of 'family' in my heart, I was also afraid. Now I'm trying to build that fence. For a long time, I waited for someone who could share every day with me as a wife, laugh together on happy days, and stand by each other on hard days, creating a small paradise-like family. Finally, I've met someone who wants to fulfill this dream with me—someone who cherishes me as I am and stands by my side in any moment. This year, I will get married."
