South Korea's top transgender beauty ties
knot
South Korean transgender beauty Harisu tied the knot here Saturday
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 on Sunday 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.
