Forestella’s Go Woo Rim Opens Up About His Love Story with Kim Yuna: “It Was Destiny”

In a rare and heartfelt interview, Forestella member Go Woo Rim recently opened up about his relationship with Olympic figure skating legend Kim Yuna, giving fans a rare look into one of South Korea’s most admired celebrity love stories.

Their relationship had long been kept private, but since tying the knot in 2022, fans have been eager to know how this sweet and unexpected love story began. For the first time, Go Woo Rim has shared the journey—from their first meeting to falling in love and ultimately, marriage.

🌟 A Meeting Born of Music

Go Woo Rim shared that he met Kim Yuna for the first time in 2018, when Forestella was invited to perform at a ceremonial event where Yuna was also present. Their encounter was brief but meaningful. “I didn’t expect anything beyond that performance,” he recalled. “But something about her presence stayed with me.”

As fate would have it, they crossed paths again months later at another private gathering, where mutual friends introduced them more formally. Go Woo Rim remembers being incredibly nervous: “She was so elegant and calm, and I was just hoping to make a good impression.”

💌 A Gentle Courtship

Unlike whirlwind celebrity romances often caught in the media spotlight, their courtship was slow, private, and built on mutual respect and admiration.

“We took our time getting to know each other,” Go Woo Rim explained. “We talked about music, skating, family, and everyday things. She’s not just a global star—she’s a very warm, thoughtful person.”

The two began dating quietly and kept their relationship out of the public eye for several years. “We knew how much pressure comes with being public figures,” he said. “But we wanted to build something real, away from the cameras.”

💒 A Fairytale Wedding

Their wedding took place on October 22, 2022, at the Shilla Hotel in Seoul, attended by close family and friends. It was one of the most talked-about events of the year—not because of media coverage, but because of how beautifully understated and elegant it was.

“It wasn’t about glamor,” Go Woo Rim said. “It was about celebrating our love with the people who mattered most.”

Photos from the wedding, though limited, showed Kim Yuna glowing in a simple but stunning dress, while Go Woo Rim stood proudly by her side.

🎤 Balancing Music and Marriage

Go Woo Rim continues to promote and perform with Forestella, and he says Kim Yuna has been incredibly supportive of his musical career.

“She comes to concerts when she can,” he shared. “And she gives honest feedback—sometimes too honest,” he joked. “We support each other in everything. That’s the kind of relationship we have.”

He also praised her discipline and strength. “Being with someone who has achieved so much and stayed so grounded—it keeps me humble.”

🫶 Public Reaction: Quiet Admiration

Since their relationship became public, fans have shown immense support for the couple. Many praised their mature and respectful approach to love in the limelight.

• “This is the real definition of a power couple,” one fan wrote.
  
  

• “They inspire us to believe in love again, especially in this chaotic world of celebrity romance.”
  
  

Even netizens known for being critical gave them their approval, noting how well-matched they seem.

💬 Final Words from Go Woo Rim

When asked what love means to him now, Go Woo Rim paused for a moment before saying:

“Love is not about loud declarations. It’s about choosing each other every day, supporting one another, and growing together. With Yuna, I’ve found all of that.”

He added, “I never imagined I’d be married to someone like her, but now that I am, I feel incredibly lucky. She makes me better—every single day.”
