South Korea's top transgender beauty ties knot
South Korean transgender beauty Harisu tied the knot in Seoul today with her boyfriend singer, pledging to become a "sexy and caring" wife.
Harisu, 32, married 27-year-old rap singer Micky Chung in an upmarket hotel in Seoul. She has been dating the singer since 2005 after they met online.
The marriage ceremony was carried out by Kim Suk-Kwon, a surgeon who performed Harisu's male-to-female sex reassignment surgery in late 1990s.
"I'll become a housewife who is cooking well, sexy and caring," a beaming Harisu told journalists before the wedding ceremony.
"We originally planned to adopt 10 children but decided to settle for only four kids because of the objections from our parents," she said.
Accompanied by both sets of parents, they will leave for the Thai resort island of Koh Samui tomorrow for a honeymoon.
Harisu is the stage name of the transgender entertainer who was born Lee Kyung-Yup.
She made her name by featuring in an advertisement for a cosmetics company in 2001.
She has since branched out into music and acting, producing five albums and starring in a film, Yellow Hair II.
In December 2002, the Incheon District Court recognised her as legally female and she changed her official name to Lee Kyung-Eun.

Harisu

A discussion the other night brought Harisu into the light again. One of links that I used in my previous post about Harisu no longer works, so I was looking for more links. She is now engaged and will probably be married sometime early this year. She is a model/actor/singer.

Here is her Temptation video:

If you don't know who Harisu is... well... check out the wikipedia page about her, or her international fan page.

Harisu (and others)

My first year in Korea, Harisu was always on TV, hosting programs, or singing. Her first album, Temptation, was released in 2001.

Harisu was born male, but underwent sex change surgery at 23.
Harisu is officially female: she had her ID changed to indicate that she was female.

She's a Lady
You have to admit... she's gorgeous!!

I remember during my first year in Korea,
I was told "there are no homosexualists in Korea."
