Choi Woo-sik and Jung So Min are officially Korea’s hottest on-screen couple, and their contract wedding scene in SBS’s Would You Marry Me? has sent fans into a frenzy. Though their characters only enter a marriage of convenience over a shared apartment, the chemistry between Me-ri (Jung So-min) and Woo-joo (Choi Woo-sik) is explosive—particularly during their surprise wedding photo shoot that features an unexpected kiss.

SBS’s marketing campaign has amplified the buzz, releasing posters and displays highlighting Jung So-min as the “bride” and Choi Woo-sik as the “groom,” without mentioning their character names. Fans jokingly liken SBS to the officiant, officially “marrying” the on-screen couple in real life.

In the latest episode (Episode 3), Me-ri and Woo-joo stage their own wedding photoshoot to avoid suspicion about their fake marriage. The intimate moment—complete with a spontaneous kiss to dodge an acquaintance—ignited South Korean social media. The episode’s viewership rating also hit 6.1%, marking the highest since the series premiere.

On-screen, Choi Woo-sik portrays Kim Woo-joo, the ambitious fourth-generation heir to the Myungsoondang candy empire, while Jung So-min plays Yoo Me-ri, a creative interior designer recovering from betrayal and a real estate scam. Me-ri’s unexpected apartment prize pushes her to propose a contract marriage to Woo-joo, whose coincidental name matches her ex-fiancé, setting the stage for their beautiful on-screen wedding.

Fans are eagerly awaiting more romantic moments between the couple, and with the drama’s viral wedding scene, Choi Woo-sik and Jung So-min are cementing themselves as one of K-drama’s most beloved couples of the year.
