On February 18, an official told enews that "the Yoon Se Ah and Julien Kang couple, loved as the couple with the best visuals, will be leaving We Got Married 4. Their last episode will air on March 3."

A rep from Yoon Se Ah′s agency also confirmed to enews, "It is true that talks are underway. We believe the final decision will be made within the week."

Yoon Se Ah and Julien Kang joined We Got Married on August 18, 2012. The couple even participated in a traditional marriage ceremony on the February 16 broadcast to congratulations from their fellow celebrity guests.

Producers have been pouring all their efforts into recruiting the next couple to join the show following the new arrivals Go Joon Hee and 2AM′s Jung Jin Woon.

Yoon Se Ah debuted with the 2005 film Blood Rain and rose to stardom through SBS′ A Gentleman′s Dignity. Julien Kang is the little brother of Dennis Kang, a star in martial arts, and appeared in MBC′s High Kick: The Short Legs Strike Back.



′We Got Married′ Welcomes the Jo Jung Chi and Jung In Real Couple


The Jo Jung Chi and Jung In couple will be joining We Got Married next following Yoon Se Ah and Julien Kang′s departure.

A source close to the couple told enews, "It has been confirmed that Jo Jung Chi and Jung In will join We Got Married. As they′re a public couple that has been together for a long time, they′ll be able to display some sincere emotions on the show."

The couple is the second real-life couple to join the show, following SG Wannabe Kim Yong Jun and Hwang Jung Eum.

Adding the new, real-life couple is expected to reestablish the sincerity of the show, which has been recently undermined by the many controversies that surrounded the MBLAQ Lee Joon and Oh Yeon Seo couple.

One official stated, "The addition of the real couple seems to aim at dispersing the recent controversies surrounding reality shows. The recent rediscovery of Jo Jung Chi through MBC′s Infinity Challenge has also had some effect on the decision."

Jo Jung Chi is a guitarist and singer/songwriter active as a member of Shinchirim and Greencheese. He recently rose to stardom through his appearance on Infinity Challenge.

Jung In debuted as a vocalist with LeeSsang′s first album in 2002, and appeared in MBC′s I Am a Singer 2 in 2012.

Is this how it normally is for WGM, swapping couples? Cause I watch mainly for Sunhee. Are they likely to get pulled too? Although I think 2am and the girl from yawang is a cute couple.

It seems like WGM tends to clean house around the same time, but I'm not really worried about Sunhee. I think they are a pretty entertaining couple and they need one established couple to stay on through the changes to keep people watching. But I guess who knows at this rate.

Okay, thank you. Fingers crossed no more screwing around.

tbh they'll keep sunhee bc they're the ones bringing viewer ratings. reception to the new couple has been poor & nobody really cares since the girl is known to be dating someone before she went on the show.

Okay. Hopefully Sunhee are secure. Sunhee seem to be real good friends I like their vibe.

They usually keep one or two couples during a mass changeover as the stabilizing couple and then phase them out next.

Yeah, my first thought was concern for Sunhee, too, but I think and hope they'll be okay. I think they're considered to be the ones who brought in more interest in this season anyway and they still have some popularity, considering that a WGM-related search term of "Han Sunhwa tears" was at the top of the search terms after the episode aired. So I'm thinking that's a good sign.
