SHINHWA Eric, Na Hye Mi’s Love Story
Before the recent good news, Na Hye Mi shared their story during her appearance in My Only One. Per the actress, she was not initially close to Eric. But one day, she received a text message that read, “Hello. I’m Eric.” She initially thought it was a joke, but she confirmed that it was the SHINHWA member when he called. From there, they became friends until they developed romantic feelings toward each other. As for how Eric proposed, Na Hye Mi revealed that they were on a trip to rest. However, she was in a bad mood following an argument with him, causing Eric to leave her alone. As she knew the idol was not that type of person, she felt angrier at him. “He somehow came inside, put something in my hand, and left. When I looked at it later, it said, ‘Come outside’ on the card. It felt like he was going to propose, so I woke up, took out a white dress, and put it on. There weren’t any signs [of a proposal] a month before the wedding, and I couldn’t go out in a tracksuit. I wasn’t in a good mood, but I put on makeup in the bathroom,” she recalled. When she went outside, she saw him waiting for her on the white beach where he ultimately proposed.
