Filipina actress, singer, and vlogger Kristel Fulgar has joyfully announced her engagement to South Korean national Ha Su-hyuk. The heartwarming news was shared on her social media platforms this Friday, accompanied by a touching video capturing the memorable proposal.
In the video, Kristel enters a beautifully decorated venue, clearly taken by surprise. As she approaches Ha Su-hyuk, he serenades her with a heartfelt song, creating a romantic atmosphere. Upon her arrival, he expresses his deep affection, stating, “I always knew that my baba would be the last woman I would love.” He then kneels and asks, “My baby, will you marry me?” The emotional moment also captures Kristel’s mother wiping away tears, highlighting the significance of the occasion.
Kristel and Ha Su-hyuk’s relationship has been a journey of love and commitment. In a vlog from February 2024, Kristel offered glimpses of her moments with a Korean gentleman, whose identity she kept private at the time. Their bond deepened when Ha Su-hyuk visited the Philippines for the first time in March 2024. A significant milestone in their relationship was Ha Su-hyuk’s conversion to Kristel’s faith, Iglesia ni Cristo, a process that spanned nearly 11 months. This act of devotion led them to officially become a couple in November 2024, marking Ha Su-hyuk as Kristel’s first boyfriend.
Kristel Aina Oquindo Fulgar, born on December 29, 1994, in Manila, Philippines, has made a name for herself in the entertainment industry. She is best known for her roles in television series such as “Goin’ Bulilit,” “Maria Flordeluna,” “Dahil Sa Pag-ibig,” “Got to Believe,” and “Bagito.” Beyond acting, Kristel has showcased her singing talent through her YouTube channel, which has garnered a substantial following. In late 2022, she expanded her horizons by signing with the South Korean agency Five Stones Entertainment, reflecting her admiration for Korean culture. Despite facing health challenges, including surgery in January 2024 to remove a schwannoma from her leg, Kristel has remained resilient and dedicated to her craft.
The engagement has been met with an outpouring of support from fans and fellow celebrities alike. Messages of congratulations have flooded social media platforms, celebrating the couple’s love story that transcends cultural boundaries. As Kristel and Ha Su-hyuk embark on this new chapter together, their journey serves as a testament to the power of love, faith, and commitment.
Congratulations to Kristel and Ha Su-hyuk on their engagement!
