Are WG’s Sun Ye and “Marine boy” Park Tae-hwan an item?

Sunye_park_200801.4

Wondergirls leader Sun Ye and swimming phenom Park Tae Hwan consistently said that they are just close church buddies, but netizen investigators have dug up new evidence that prove otherwise.

Evidence one - Matching characters on their cyworld skin or background

Park Tae-hwan had a Mickey Mouse and Sun ye Minnie Mouse

Evidence two - Park Tae Hwan’s cyworld background music

Marine boy had JYP’s song featuring Sun Ye as his background music on his cyworld but changed it when his relationship with Sun Ye became public knowledge

Evidence three - Couple ring

Some bored netizen put together a picture that shows Sun Ye wearing the same ring as Park Tae Hwan.

Although these are filmy evidences, many are convinced that Sun Ye and park Tae Hwan are in fact dating.

Aww..how cute! It’s great seeing new couples pop up as we start the new years. Keep the love in the air kids!

    hey i saw that guy in asia games in Doha last year…that guy won a couple of medals at a tender age of 16 (i guess he was 16 )…well both of them will make a perfect couple…good luck!

    That’s cute.
    Park Tae Hwan is a way famous swimmer.

    I’ve never seen that clip from her Manwon Happiness.
    Are they eating together because they’re “church friends”?
    Aha. Like Stephanie and Jang Geun Suk right?

  7. 7 Illia January 3, 2008 at 1:47 pm

    PTH & Wonder Girls worked together on photoshoot before and during that dinner on Manwon, SunMi & HyunA was also present so, they’re not alone.

  8. 8 DUMBO January 3, 2008 at 1:57 pm

    he’s 6 feet tall and she’s like 5 feet. must be uncomfortable to kiss.

    ok so I am a bit bored too… here’s some info on Park:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Park_Tae_Hwan

    Park Tae Hwan

    Park Tae-Hwan (born September 27, 1989) is a South Korean swimmer. He is currently training in Melbourne, Australia, where he is known as Tae-Hwan Park.

    He competed at the 2006 Asian Games in Doha, where he won three gold, one silver and three bronze medals, and set two new Asian Records. At the end of the Games, he won the most number of medals by a single athlete, with seven medals. He was named the athlete of the Games[3]

    Park also won two gold medals (1500 m freestyle and 400 m freestyle) and one silver medal (200 m freestyle) at the 2006 Pan Pacific Swimming Championships in Victoria, Canada.

    Park was named the 2006 Pacific Rim Male Swimmer of the Year by Swimming World Magazine, beating other competitors from the Pacific Rim, including multiple Olympic gold medallist Grant Hackett (the 2005 Pacific Rim Male Swimmer of the Year), for the honour.

    Wow, he’s impressive. She’s cute, too..
    Seems like a nice couple. ;D

  11. 11 lalala January 3, 2008 at 2:36 pm

    you Korean people don’t even know who Park Tae Hwan is????

    that’s sad.. he proudly represents Korea in the world, so maybe some people should pay more attention than just on korean entertainment

  12. 12 wink_wink_ January 3, 2008 at 2:39 pm

    awh..cute..

    “netizen”–too much free tym on their hands [HEY, Y NOT BECUM A PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR?..@ LEAST UR MAKING SUM $]

    iono who this boi is, but by looking at the pic, i thought he was much older–MY FAULT..hes younger than me

  13. 13 DEO January 3, 2008 at 2:44 pm

    The first him of him is not flattering whatsoever.

  14. 14 wooooo January 3, 2008 at 3:02 pm

    is he ivy’s cousin??

  15. 15 jyyjc January 3, 2008 at 3:35 pm

    aw..i like sunye&gdragon couple :p that’s cute, if they really are an item then good luck to them.

  16. 16 hellaakon January 3, 2008 at 3:40 pm

    ^^^

    lol. I guess Sun Ye and G-Dragon are outta the picture huh? =P
    (I think the anti-fans would’ve eaten Sun Ye alive anyhow..)

  17. 17 hellaakon January 3, 2008 at 3:41 pm

    Woops…I meant fans of GD/Big Bang.

  18. 18 for real January 3, 2008 at 3:49 pm

    who cares, they’re kids

  19. 19 Cutie January 3, 2008 at 4:00 pm

    @Woooooo: No, it was revealed her wasnt related to Ivy at all. According to Shenyue “she called him a relative then a cousin and next thing we knew was that Ivy’s parents denied any blood line relationship with the guy”…

    I remember reading somewhere, he was like point 2 seconds behind from making a world record :]

    Anyways, whether theyre a real couple or not, ‘grats!

  20. 20 Doggy Supreme January 3, 2008 at 4:10 pm

    To ohgeeze.:

    No. Your Wrong. There Eating Because They Had A Dinner Thing But PTH’s Scedule Was Full Of Swimming Practice So They Has The Dinner Thing That Day. (I Dunno Why They Had The Dinner Meeting Though, Didn’t Hear It)

  21. 21 poppy January 3, 2008 at 5:07 pm

    Popseoul’s mother is a stinky slut.

  22. 22 heyleadinglady January 3, 2008 at 5:44 pm

    It’s rare to hear about young Korean artists dating officially because of all the hype fangirls cause. Maybe this will be one of the few things that will stop that ridicule

  23. 23 junsufan January 3, 2008 at 5:58 pm

    I’m so impressed with netizens.. :D

  24. 24 Jackie January 3, 2008 at 6:16 pm

    better him than some creepy old wonder girls fan

  25. 25 charzzy January 3, 2008 at 7:29 pm

    wow that guy’s really impressive
    sunye’s got a good catch eh?

  26. 26 apple3_pi3 January 3, 2008 at 10:06 pm

    why is his face so long XD

  27. 27 apple3_pi3 January 3, 2008 at 10:11 pm

    oh and on the third pic, sun ye took off her ring..and sun ye wears it on her fourth finger and tae hwan wears it on his middle one…..

  28. 28 ji-in January 3, 2008 at 10:56 pm

    That’s cute.
    At least she’s dating someone her own age.
    Sun Ye seems pretty together. It’s nice that she can perform, take the university exams and still have time to go to church and date.

  29. 29 nydrad January 3, 2008 at 10:57 pm

    he looks old to me, though, he’s even months older than sunye…
    well, if sunye loves her, have to support her :(

  30. 30 nydrad January 3, 2008 at 10:57 pm

    he looks old to me, though, he’s even months older than sunye…
    well, if sunye loves him [i mean], have to support her :(

  31. 31 Cindel January 3, 2008 at 11:33 pm

    And all the BB/GD fans show a sign of relief…

  32. 32 toocutedoggy January 3, 2008 at 11:50 pm

    omo, it’s that Korea’s Champion Swimmer ^^ with Sunye?

  33. 33 blinkable January 4, 2008 at 12:09 am

  34. 34 varms January 4, 2008 at 12:31 am

  35. 35 Mimi January 4, 2008 at 12:35 am

  46. 46 Hola~ January 4, 2008 at 8:50 am

  51. 51 Doggy Supreme January 5, 2008 at 12:57 am

    @apple3_pi3:

    Sun Ye looks hot.

  53. 53 apple3_pi3 January 5, 2008 at 2:44 am

    @Grace
    -whatd they type?

  54. 54 :) January 5, 2008 at 3:49 am

    hahaha
    i thought he was 30 because marine somehow reminds me of the army, and famous people usually go to armys when they are around 30 hehe my bad.
    that’s to other commenters i now know that he is a famous swimmer and 18 or 19 hehe :)

    i like the last picture of them in manwon happiness cutee picture :)

  55. 55 lmfao January 5, 2008 at 12:01 pm

    he is fugly as hale

  56. 56 Skina January 5, 2008 at 2:29 pm

    cute!!they surely got my approval!ngahahaha who cares anyway?

  57. 57 muize January 6, 2008 at 3:00 am

    maybe it’s just coincidence….just maybe anything is possible.

  58. 58 Josh January 18, 2008 at 6:40 am

    Tae-Hwan Park is Korea’s best chance for an Olympic gold medal in any sport. He won the world title in the 400m freestyle at the World Championships this year. If you are Korean and don’t know who he is, shame on you!

  59. 59 irees January 22, 2008 at 6:28 am

    enh… he’s kinda ugly. but if sunye is into that… i guess i’ll approve.

  60. 60 elia June 8, 2008 at 12:56 am

    In an Interview with Sun Ye she said that the couple ring was actually a present from her dad. Lol i really don’t know about this couple.

  61. 61 Gomi July 31, 2008 at 1:32 am

    Omg even I look better than him! XD Marry me Sun Ye!!

  62. 62 michelley August 11, 2008 at 10:22 pm

    park tae-hwan, omg ur super hot!!! i really hope he’s not dating! 19 just nice for me!!! this goes out to sjl too!!!

  63. 63 Jane. August 12, 2008 at 11:36 pm

    People were criticizing Park Tae-Hwan for running around with Sunye instead of practicing for the olympics. Now they can’t say anything since he got gold&silver medals =)

  64. 64 heenimxluv August 16, 2008 at 4:25 am

    umm that really doesn`t prove anything..
    and i doubt they`re dating
    i think they`re just close friends.

  65. 65 Hero-JaeJoong August 24, 2008 at 5:03 am

    Why does park tae hwan look so different from the other post abt him?
    he looked older here?
    anyways,i love sunye !
    whether they’re a couple or not,we’ll have 2 wait to see i guess :))

  66. 66 PTH's Biggest Fan August 24, 2008 at 10:34 am

    He’s my inspiration to enter the olympics. Ever since I saw him swim.. I practiced alot in swimming. I’ve gotten alot better then before. WAY BETTER. Hopefully one day I can enter the olympics and see him there <3
    I LOVE HIM <3
