Placard welcomes star couple to honeymoon destination

A placard congratulating the wedding of top hallyu star Bae Yong-joon and actress Park Soo-jin was hung on a roadside leading to the couple's honeymoon destination in Namhae, South Gyeongsang Province, Tuesday.

The placard was hung at a spot around 1 kilometer away from the golf resort the newlyweds are reportedly staying at.

A dozen residents sat at the entrance of the village, chatting about the couple and keeping an eye out for the car.

Residents welcomed the newlyweds to Namehae, saying they were happy to hear the couple had opted for their village over overseas destinations.

The entrance to the resort was heavily guarded, only letting in reserved vehicles.

Japanese fans of Bae, who queued outside the wedding hall at the Sheraton Grande Walkerhill, Monday, were not seen at the resort.

Several vehicles from domestic and Japanese media were parked at the entrance.

The resort declined to comment on the couple's arrival.

However, reports say that a memo saying Bae would arrive around 8 p.m. was seen in the security guard's office.

Police were also dispatched to the scene.

Officers said they did not know of when the couple would arrive.

Bae's agency Keyeast said earlier that the newlyweds could change their honeymoon destination after it became public.

It told Yonhap News Agency Monday that it would not make the destination public, and added that it did not know whether the couple would leave for their honeymoon on Tuesday.

It did say, however, that they would not leave the country.
