According to Bi Rain, Kim Tae Hee originally turned him down since she thought he was a player. However, the actress was actually Bi Rain’s first love, and he fell for her at first sight.
In 2013, the couple made their relationship public, and immediately faced backlash from fans. At the time, many people believed that this was just a “business relationship” to boost the popularity of the two, while some condemned Bi Rain for falling behind Kim Tae Hee in visuals and family background.
As a result, the couple decided to keep most of their affairs private. Even their wedding ceremony was held with just close family and friends, with extremely few photos being released.
In January 2017, Bi Rain published a handwritten letter on his SNS, where he announced his upcoming marriage with Kim Tae Hee. 2 days later, the couple tied the knot at a private wedding ceremony with only 10 guests, costing as low as 1,100 USD – making it one of the cheapest wedding ceremonies of Korean celebrities.
At the end of the same year, Kim Tae Hee gave birth to a daughter, and in September 2019, the couple welcomed their 2nd child.
5 years into their marriage, Kim Tae Hee and Bi Rain are now considered an admirable couple with an ideal marriage. In fact, whenever they appeared, Bi Rain never failed to show affection for his wife by holding her hand tightly.
In addition, the singer is considered a “wife fanatic” for he never held back on praises for Kim Tae Hee, claiming that she always looks gorgeous in all moments, even while eating. Even on SNS, he would leave cute and fond comments under photos of his wife that make everyone jealous.
When Kim Tae Hee was pregnant, Korean media reported that Bi Rain took extremely close care of wife. He’d buy her good food, take care of his daughter, and go home early to talk to his then unborn baby.
Bi Rain’s affection for his family can be shown clearly through an interview he had on the chat show “You Quiz On The Block”. In particular, the singer-actor said, “Marriage and love are wonderful. Nevertheless, I wish I can enjoy a longer honeymoon phase with my wife. [Kim Tae Hee] got pregnant with our first daughter quickly so we didn’t have much time. Still, I am always so happy to go home and pick up my daughter’s toys. I always feel grateful for having such a happy family life – it’s the kind of happiness I have never felt when I was still single.”
Meanwhile, Kim Tae Hee rarely discussed her private life, but did speak of her happiness once in the media, saying, “Marriage helps me to mature, live better, and add diversity to my emotions and life experiences.”
