South Korean Celebrity Couples: A Korean New Year’s Tradition

Aside from the paparazzi who pester celebrities non-stop, some fans also become too intrusive. More particularly, sasaeng fans. But not all fans are like that. A majority of them actually give respect and support to their idols. 

With that being said, supportive fans of Korean Celebrity relationships usually await Dispatch's highly hyped Korean Celebrity Couples' reveal every New year's day.
