Excited
Just days before South Korea’s 9th Annual Pride festival, famed transgender popstar Harisu got married in complete traditional flair.
Harisu, considered a world famous beauty who made early international fame for her modeling during the 2006 World Cup, tied knot with rapper Micky Jung in Seoul on May 19.
Harisu is officially the second person on record to officially change their gender in Korea. She has even gone on record for assisting to finance a similar transgender surgery for a Chinese man earlier this spring.
The ceremony hosted by Kim Suk-Kwon, the surgeon who performed Harisu’s male-to-female sex reassignment surgery in late 1990s. Latest official word is that they plan to adopt four kids.
Frankly, they look really cute.

This disgust and disturbs me. Has it never occurred to anyone that we are living in a world where no one will e who they say they are? on the outside you see a female, on the INSIDE, it is a man. That THING only has a vagina, but that's cosmetic. Its still got the plumbing of a man. But then again, people have a hard time seeing past the superficial. Plastic surgery is only temporary. As he gets older he will start to look more and more like the man he is.
That is a beautiful piece of love story, it just show how love can overcome all the human prejudice. Good luck.
This is something new to me. So, in Korea, can they legally tie the knot?
Wow, that's amazing. And to think major shit happens when couples try to do that here in the US.
Congrats to the happy couple.
Frankly, they look really cute.
They really do. Good for them!
