I felt this was another piece of important news to post for all WGM fans, especially Andy and Solbi fans:
Uncertainty: ... who will be the next to go?
“The exit of Andy and Solbi is the most impacting, we did not decide so without their personal permission.”
– PD Kim (aka Public Enemy No.1 of WGM Fans)
On the 16th of September, Star News spoke to PD Kim of the Sunday night vareity show “We Got Married”.
In the very first episode of “We Got Married” that aired across the Lunar New Years as a special, the four couples – including Solbi and Hong Kyung Min, Alex and Jang Yoon Jung, Jang Hyung Don and Saori, Crown J and Seo In Young – exited the special by coming down a special ‘couple slide’ at the end of the episode.
PD Kim has confirmed that “Next Wednesday when they film the studio recording of WGM, the slide will be different to that shown in the first special. Whether the couples want to continue on the show is a decision for themselves. If the Ansol couple wanted to continue, then we would definitely let them do so.”
He also admitted that letting the Ansol couple leave from the show is a very difficult reality.
When Lee Hwi Jae and Jeo Yeong Jong left the show, there wasn’t really an explanation about their reasons, which left the audience feeling regretful at their exit. But on the recording on the 23rd of September, they will conduct the Ansol exit in a “Reminiscing Journey” style that will allow the couple to have a nostalgic reflection back on their “married life”.
The last episode contaiing the Ansol exit special will be shown on the 28th of September, 2008. They will confirm whether the other original couples will be staying or leaving.
In regards to the new couples that appeared in the Chuseouk Festival (Mid-Autumn Festival/Zhong Qiu Jie), PD Kim said that couples representing similar concepts to the existing four couples will have the least chance of appearing on the show as a regular. He also said that new couples popular with the audience are not guaranteed to appear on the show.

Londony’s Rant:
…WHAT THE?
Okay so more original couples leaving!!?? Also popular new couples “won’t necessarily appear on the show” – what kind of ‘smart’ marketing strategy is that!?? =.=;;;
Anbiholics – write that date in your calendar… since it’s probably one of the last times we see our favourite couple in WGM (unless they return, but who knows)
Other couples – I really hope no one else leaves, since their fanbase is pretty well established as well and I think WGM would face more fan revolts if any one else leaves!
New Couples – the new couple most similar in concept to orginals is probably Son Dambi and Marco – the model/romantic events/perfect couple who is a bit like Alex and Shinae (who is always more perfect in my view, kekeke). But once again the Hwanee/Hwayobi and other couple (whose name I have not bothered remembering) really has no appeal to me whatsoever.
Eeps.. I really am ranting a lot today but I guess it’s a long time coming in updating my blog 😛
The Only Positive News in the following – Solbi is still wearing her couple ring even yesterday (16th September 2008) … so Ansol lives on!

U noe what!!!!! This is so weird ok. I have check ur blog twice after u went on hiatus, and both times I got new updates which u just post on that day.
Anyways does this mean that andy and solbi can still change their mind??????? I hope so ( well solbi is still wearing the ring, but what about andy!!!!!)
Actually i think, from the special they had three new couples instead of 1, so i though that it might turn out like this. I hope none of the couple leave, cuz they all have their own charms and i like them all (but anbi is still the best).
Its good to see u once in a while. Miss ur blog soo much. Anyways don’t stop updating us about WGM, andy and solbi ok.

@zaza: lol i’m glad your timing is exactly perfect zaza! 🙂 I really enjoy reading your comments (as comments make my day) and thanx for being so dedicated to check my blog! 🙂
… I think PD kim is just trying to ease the backlash from the fans saying that it was their own decision… but maybe, we can hope anbi will change their minds or maybe come back later??… hope anbiholics don’t lose hope waiting tho! Anbi and anbiholics hwaiting!

Arrrghh!! I hate WGM’s PDs!!! What I hate the most is how they easily play with people heart lyk that … I believe that Andy and Solbi have developed deep feelings (if not love) towards each other, and now to just break it off like that … is just so unfair to both of them.
ps. I didn’t even bother to watch the part.I Chuseok WGM special … cuz Im sooo in love with the 4 original couples …
Thank you for updating ur blog!!

On Soompi someone posted that Andy did another Star Golden Bell and he said that he will now 100% ask Solbi out on a date.
I remember something Andy said before; if they dated while on the show and if they argued it would show when they did their taping.
Still I wonder whether it would be a first date? Even though Solbi said she doesn’t meet Andy outside taping….Min Woo and Hye Sung (being the mischievous brothers they are) both apparently knew more when they did shows with Solbi.
It was once mentioned the couples weren’t allowed to date officially; but if thats the case we may see Alex and Shin Ae and Crown J and In Young leave soon too.
Alex and Shin Ae seem to want to leave too. Even Alex and Shin Ae got a lot closer and they seem to stick to Andy and Solbi a lot now.
The September show should be interesting.
londony good to have you back again. Missed your updates. 🙂

One more sorry. Solbi lost so much weight and thats probably why her ring doesn’t fit on her ring finger anymore. Doesn’t look like she wants to have it resized….that would mean it wouldn’t fit Andy’s pinky anymore. 😀
