Will Son Tae-young wear hand-me-downs?

20080813_sontaeyoung

In Korea, wedding dresses are rented. So, it is no surprise that someone else might caught wearing the same dress.

With her upcoming nuptials to hottie Kwon Sang-woo, Son Tae-young probably has limited choice in terms of wedding dresses in Korea. She naturally wants to look fabulous, but at what cost? (And no, the dress above is not the dress she will be wearing)

Rumor has it that Son Tae-young has chosen the Reem Acra wedding dress worn by Kim Hee-sun. But the dress worn by Kim Hee-sun was supposedly Vera Wang. What is going on?

If POPSEOUL! were to choose a wedding dress for Son Tae-young from the Reem Acra Bridal Fall 2008 collection, it would be the following 2 dresses:

Son Tae-young and Kwon Sang-woo will tie the knot at the Shilla Hotel on September 28th 2008.

    Borrowed? Haha, that’s so odd. They could at least afford buying a dress, right?

  3. 3 tasha August 13, 2008 at 10:22 am

    I dont like neither of the dresses popseoul picked!

    wait seriously? koreans really borrow dresses??? how come every celeb’s is different so far???

    btw, the 2 dresses you chose are gorgeous!

    She can always buy a dress and return it the next day…I am just kidding of course lol. I am sure she won’t be one of those people who borrow dresses, because she is rich bi*ch…and so is her to-be-husband lol.

    BTW nice choices PS. I like the second one better.

    Don’t knock the borrowing. I think women are idiots for buying a dress they’ll only wear for a few hours. Rent that shiz and use the money you saved on better food.

    Don’t you proof read?

    so i don’t get the whole borrowing a dress deal. why does she have to borrow a dress? i’m sure she (more than likely, kwon sang-woo) can afford buying a brand new wedding dress. is it a korean tradition to borrow dresses?

  9. 9 cookie August 13, 2008 at 11:25 am

    hmmmm…but aren’t they going for pre nup pictorial outside korea? so that means she will have to wear that gown more than once… might be a little funky by the time she walks down the aisle…;P

  10. 10 jhayanne4ever August 13, 2008 at 11:40 am

    i don’t mind wearing the same dress that others have wore,what matter is i’ll be marrying kwon sang woo!!woot!!

  11. 11 Song August 13, 2008 at 11:54 am

    Hope she finds a beautiful dress to go with her handsome guy,

  12. 12 HAHAHA August 13, 2008 at 12:17 pm

    i don’t like how so many brides choose dresses like that, no different, just different designers.

  13. 13 Gia August 13, 2008 at 12:35 pm

    think a simple gown is better, none of those puff up curtains… must wear something that won’t make you cringe after ten years.

  14. 14 leah August 13, 2008 at 12:51 pm

    For the most part, I agree with Dumbo. I mean, why spend so much money on a dress that you’ll only wear once? However, you can find a beautiful dress for a lot cheaper if you know where to shop.

    Personally, I don’t like the two wedding dresses in those pics as it’s not my taste, but it’s not bad.

  15. 15 updtoday August 13, 2008 at 1:05 pm

    i think she should be careful with choosing her dress because she has wide shoulders while the rest of her body is slim

  16. 16 kellis August 13, 2008 at 1:24 pm

    Dumbo-I agree.

    Anyways, hand-me-downs are now vintage “cool”.

  17. 17 t August 13, 2008 at 2:23 pm

    hand me downs are good, vintage stuff. mothers hand their wedding gowns down to their daughters all the time.

    they would marry on my birthday ? didn’t know that.

  18. 18 ThanksHoney August 13, 2008 at 2:36 pm

    Oh pleasee , like she’ll wear hand me downs with the income kwon sang woo makes. Mmmmmmm, her wedding is pretty early and it will bee pretty rushed seeing how she is still unsure of what her wedding gown will be.

  19. 20 Jill August 13, 2008 at 3:05 pm

    This is a wrong wedding..

  20. 21 ana August 13, 2008 at 4:17 pm

    Congratulations to her for her upcoming wedding, but I doubt she will be borrowing a dress. Your wedding day is only happening once why would you want to borrow a dress.It’s okay to splurge on these kinds of stuff….

  21. 22 Seriously, does the gown matter? It's KSW for crying out loud August 13, 2008 at 5:17 pm

    It will be a borrowed dress because hubby has to save every penny to pay the mafia he has offended – to stay away from the wedding ceremony / celebrations

  22. 23 SP August 13, 2008 at 6:22 pm

    What an odd picture! hahah It’s not a good wedding picture if you’re in an alley dumpster. I hope that’s just a photoshoot! Anyway!!

    Why would she want to wear a dress already worn by another actress?! By the way, Kim Hee Sun’s wedding dress was absolutely beautiful but Son Tae Young should wear a completely different dress!

    She’ll look great with the dress on the right! Anyway, congratulations to the couple!!! And Kwon Sang Woo & Kim Hee Sun were lovely in Korean drama, Sad Love Story! :D

  23. 24 SP August 13, 2008 at 6:25 pm

    Some questions why would anyone spend so much dress that they will only be wearing once?

    Are you kidding me? It’s a wedding and truly, it should be an event to remember!!! I know I’d want to to wear a beautiful wedding dress and not worrying too much of the dress because I’ll only be wearing it once. Your wedding day should be a very special day!!!

    And by all means, there is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to save money and not go ‘all out’ on your wedding. It’s by choice! Any weddings are special in their own way! :)

  24. 25 SP August 13, 2008 at 6:26 pm

    Oh, and my bad! Son Tae Young’s picture is not located in an alley dumpster but it sure seemed like it. hahah

  25. 26 monalisa August 13, 2008 at 8:19 pm

    No, I’m convinced she will want a specially-made wedding gown for her wedding day. I’m sure Kwon will insist on it too. He’s so loaded, he should do that much for his bride.

  26. 27 ellie August 13, 2008 at 9:28 pm

    I never knew koreans rent their wedding dresses! I guess it make more sense since you’re only going to wear it once!

  27. 28 Dovey August 14, 2008 at 3:16 am

    Whatever she chooses, I am sure she will look fabulous. Maybe…

  28. 29 D. August 14, 2008 at 8:04 am

    I’ll turn up in my pjs if that helps me to marry Kwon Sang Woo.

  29. 30 Sharurotto August 14, 2008 at 8:10 am

    I really doubt celebrities borrow wedding dresses…seriously, popseoul…

  30. 31 s0ysauce August 14, 2008 at 4:27 pm

    damn I hate her!

  31. 32 kpop August 14, 2008 at 5:30 pm

    wat do u mean?
    shes gona borrow dat dress? or is she jus wearing d same 1?
    dats not hand me down.

  32. 33 Kimchi Lee August 20, 2008 at 4:56 pm

    well, if KSW can afford an apartment in Australia, i am sure he can afford a Vera Wang wedding gown and a nice tux. After all, it’s a one-in-a-lifetime affair.

  33. 34 FANS August 27, 2008 at 12:37 am

    no matter what kind of dress she wear its useless, she is happy now because she already get what she wants, handsome, popular and rich. YOU, KSW IF YOU HAVE NO QUALIFICATION LIKE THIS DO YOU THINK STY LIKES YOU ?? I DONT THINK SO, BCOZ THIS WOMAN IS A PLAYGIRL …. WAKE UP ksw IS NOT YET LATE . . .
