South Korean Woman's 'Train To Busan' Takes India Detour For Love

The woman named Kim Boh-Nee met Sukhjit Singh at a coffee shop in South Korea's Busan city around four years ago.

New Delhi: A South Korean woman recently flew to India to marry her lover in Uttar Pradesh. The couple has been living in a live-in relationship for the past four years before marriage.

They recently tied the knot according to Sikh traditions at Gurudwara Nanak Bagh in Puwayan in Uttar Pradesh's Shahjahanpur district.

According to a NDTV report, the woman named Kim Boh-Nee met Sukhjit Singh at a coffee shop in South Korea's Busan city around four years ago.

Singh, a resident of UP's Udna village, had travelled to South Korea for work and secured a job at the coffee shop. Reportedly, Singh was employed at the shop for more than six years while Kim was employed at the same shop as a billing counter executive.

As per the report, Singh had to return to India for six months, and overwhelmed by the separation, Kim too decided to follow him.

"We started talking when I was in Busan. Since I was learning Korean, I could converse with her. We were in a live-in relationship for four years. When I came to India, she followed me after two months," NDTV quoted Singh as saying.

"She is loving Indian culture, especially Punjabi songs. She doesn't know the local language, but enjoys our music. Everything is new for her," Singh added.

Currently, Kim is residing in Shahjahanpur's Udna village with Singh and his family. However, Singh told NDTV that they will eventually settle in South Korea.

As per the report, Kim has come to India on a three-month tourist visa and will return to her home country soon. While Singh will go to Busan after three months.

The news comes just months after Seema Haider, who hails from Sindh province in Pakistan, entered India illegally along with her four children to marry Sachin Meena, who she met while playing online game PUBG. 

Seema was arrested on July 4 for illegally entering India without a visa, and Sachin was put behind bars for sheltering the illegal immigrants.

However, they both were granted bail by a local court on July 7.

The couple now lives together along with the four children in a house in the Rabupura area.
