Korean star Taeyang visits Hawaii for prenup photos

Hawaii continues to be a desirable destination for Korean celebrities seeking a romantic getaway.

While Big Bang member Daesung had his “Dna Show” in Hawaii Jan. 6 and 7 at the Hawaii Theatre, another Big Bang member, Taeyang, was in Hawaii with his fiancee, Min Hyo-rin, for a wedding photo shoot and video filming.

YG Entertainment partnered with magazine Dazed to put together a 100-page photo book showing many parts of Oahu, published in time for their Feb. 3 wedding at a church in Anyang, Gyeonggi province, with family members and close friends in attendance. An after-party was held at Paradise City Hotel and Resort in Incheon.

A honeymoon will have to wait, as Taeyang is expected to enlist in the military soon. The couple have been dating for four years. They met when Min was featured in Taeyang’s music videos “1AM” and “Eyes, Nose and Lips.” Their special-edition photo book, titled “loved,” was released Feb. 3.
