When our mutual friend introduced us, Hui Xin thought our friend said, \u201cThese are my &#8216;Korean Couple&#8217; friends,\u201d when he actually said \u201cThey\u2019re a couple of my Korean friends.\u201d So Hui Xin thought Eric was already married!<\/p><p>But Eric was immediately interested in Hui Xin and tried to be extra chatty, even cracking lame &#8220;dad jokes&#8221; just to get her attention. He\u2019s terrible with names though and he misremembered Hui Xin\u2019s name as \u201cHailey\u201d and couldn\u2019t find her on Instagram afterward. Thankfully, our mutual friend tagged her in a story&#8230; and that\u2019s when Eric slid into her DMs.<\/p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhiteColonialxHanbok-16.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhiteColonialxHanbok-17.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhiteColonialxHanbok-18.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhiteColonialxHanbok-19.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhiteColonialxHanbok-20.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhiteColonialxHanbok-21.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhiteColonialxHanbok-22.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhiteColonialxHanbok-23.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhiteColonialxHanbok-24.jpg\" alt=\"Eric Korean Oppa from Singapore\" \/><p><b><b>What do you love most about each other?<\/b><\/b><\/p><p><i>Eric<\/i>: I love that Hui Xin is expressive and creative. She also shows such dedication and care, especially to her family and friends. She takes away the mundanity of my life, and adds spice and warmth. Honestly, I can\u2019t imagine life without her.<\/p><p><i>Hui Xin<\/i>: What I love most about Eric is how good he is with acts of service. He cuts fruit for me all the time. It might sound silly, but I still remember that first time, on a random evening after dinner, when he started preparing fruit without saying anything. I instantly felt loved. That\u2019s how my mum shows love too.<\/p><p><b><b>What was your proposal like?<\/b><\/b><\/p><p><i>Eric<\/i>: Chaotic. If we turned it into a slapstick comedy, it might just be the most-watched video in Singapore, just kidding but no joke in it being chaotic.<\/p><p>I planned to propose on the rooftop of the Esplanade, facing Marina Bay Sands. I\u2019d done a recon a week before at the same time of day and it was peaceful, barely anyone around. Perfect, since Hui Xin once told me she\u2019d freeze if there was a crowd watching when she was being proposed to.<\/p><p>I roped in my friends, Daren and Nat, to help and disguised it as a media tasting event. There was even an actual rooftop bar that was set to open, so it all felt legit. But on the day itself, the rooftop was packed with a photography club full of uncles and aunties who had gathered to take shots of MBS. I instantly knew Hui Xin wouldn\u2019t be okay with this many eyes on her. To make matters worse, I had asked a couple nearby to secretly hand me a bouquet after the proposal, but they were now standing right in front of us.<\/p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhiteColonialxHanbok-25.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhiteColonialxHanbok-26.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhiteColonialxHanbok-27.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhiteColonialxHanbok-28.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhiteColonialxHanbok-30.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhiteColonialxHanbok-31.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhiteColonialxHanbok-32.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhiteColonialxHanbok-33.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhiteColonialxHanbok-34.jpg\" alt=\"Eric Korean Oppa from Singapore\" \/><p>When Hui Xin arrived, I pretended we were filming an intro video. But she noticed my friend was wearing shorts even though I\u2019d said the event was formal, so she got suspicious. Then she saw all the uncles and aunties around us. As soon as I started saying the lines I prepared for the proposal, an uncle walked right up to us and started snapping photos. We politely told him to stop, but he kept shoving his camera in our faces. Hui Xin completely froze and was on the verge of tears.<\/p><p>We had to abort. I quickly scouted the area and found a quieter spot near a bar under renovation, with the Singapore Flyer in the background. No one was around. That\u2019s where I finally proposed, and she said &#8220;yes&#8221;.But the surprises weren\u2019t over, which she never suspected. I\u2019d also booked a private dining room to surprise her with close friends afterward.<\/p><p>It was messy, rushed, completely imperfect but full of love and warmth from the people who matter most to her.<\/p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhiteColonialxHanbok-35.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhiteColonialxHanbok-36.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhiteColonialxHanbok-37.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhiteColonialxHanbok-38.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhiteColonialxHanbok-39.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhiteColonialxHanbok-40.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhiteColonialxHanbok-41.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhiteColonialxHanbok-42.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhiteColonialxHanbok-43.jpg\" alt=\"Eric Korean Oppa from Singapore\" \/><p><b><b>You did your pre-wedding shoot in Korea!<\/b><\/b><\/p><p><i>Eric<\/i>: Our pre-wedding shoot was done in Korea with a modern, classy theme. We worked with a local agency called Seoulrirang and flew over to Seoul for the full Korean-style pre-wedding experience.<\/p><p>It was a dream. especially for Hui Xin, who felt like a princess the whole time. Leading up to the shoot, we had multiple fittings.<\/p><p>On shoot day, we woke up at 5 AM and headed to the studio for hair and makeup which took a little more than two hours. The entire day, we had a personal dress handler and a makeup artist following us around. We didn\u2019t have to lift a finger, just pose. It was such a unique and luxurious experience. We shot all the way into the night and were completely exhausted, but the results were more than worth it. The photos came out beautifully. One of the biggest highlights was taking a sunset photo by the Han River in Seoul. The golden light, the city skyline, and the view of the city, it all came together in a way that will forever be etched in our memories.<\/p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhiteColonialxHanbok-45.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhiteColonialxHanbok-46.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhiteColonialxHanbok-48.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhiteColonialxHanbok-49.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhiteColonialxHanbok-50.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhiteColonialxHanbok-51.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhiteColonialxHanbok-52.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhiteColonialxHanbok-54.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhiteColonialxHanbok-55.jpg\" alt=\"Eric Korean Oppa from Singapore\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhiteColonialxHanbok-56.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><p><b><b>You also did a shoot in Singapore in traditional <i>hanbok<\/i>. Your outfits were gorgeous!<\/b><\/b><\/p><p><i>Eric<\/i>: Thank you! We had the chance to do a special shoot with Yukee from Adante. Since we didn\u2019t get to wear <i>hanbok<\/i> during our shoot in Korea, we wanted to do something that reflected both our cultures.<\/p><p>We chose the National Gallery as our location as it\u2019s not only a beautiful space, but also holds rich art history from Singapore and Southeast Asia. Wearing <i>hanbok<\/i> there felt incredibly meaningful, a blend of tradition and modernity, of Korean heritage and Singaporean identity. We loved how it turned out, very elegant, timeless, and somewhat personal.<\/p><p>We found this <i>hanbok<\/i> designer through word-of-mouth. We had been checking out different places for hanbok, but nothing really resonated with us. So we asked around, and that\u2019s how we got connected to Bidanhyang. The wonjangnim (the owner and master behind the brand) personally came to fit us. Her attention to detail was amazing, and she had such a good eye for recommending colours that suited us as a couple. It wasn\u2019t cheap for sure, but I knew this wasn\u2019t just something I\u2019d wear once for the wedding. I could see myself wearing it again for other occasions\u2014like our future kid\u2019s <i>doljanchi<\/i> (100th day celebration) and other events like <i>sulnal<\/i> (Lunar New Year in Korea), and also even for my content. She even added some extra touches because she wanted me to represent Korea proudly here in Singapore.<\/p><p>Funny thing is, we didn\u2019t realise how well-known this place was until after we got our <i>hanbok<\/i>. When we contacted our wedding venue in Korea to rent <i>hanbok<\/i> for our relatives for our wedding there, they asked where we got ours from. When we mentioned Bidanhyang, they were genuinely surprised and nodded, as a way of affirming that this indeed was a good brand!<\/p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhiteColonialxHanbok-57.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhiteColonialxHanbok-58.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhiteColonialxHanbok-59.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhiteColonialxHanbok-60.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhiteColonialxHanbok-61.jpg\" alt=\"Eric Korean Oppa from Singapore\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhiteColonialxHanbok-62.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhiteColonialxHanbok-63.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhiteColonialxHanbok-65.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhiteColonialxHanbok-67.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhiteColonialxHanbok-68.jpg\" alt=\"Eric Korean Oppa from Singapore\" \/><p><b><b>Was there a mood or a concept behind the shoot with Adante?<\/b><\/b><\/p><p><i>Eric<\/i>: Yes! We didn\u2019t have the logistics to include <i>hanbok<\/i> in our pre-wedding shoot in Korea, which we were honestly a bit bummed about. We always thought maybe one day we could do a shoot in Singapore with our <i>hanbok<\/i>. Then, kind of randomly, we started thinking about how to best blend both our cultures for this shoot. That\u2019s when the idea of the National Gallery came up\u2014it just felt like the perfect place to represent both sides.<\/p><p>What we really wanted was something classy and timeless\u2014something that showcased the best of both our cultures. We were going for a darker, more cinematic mood&#8230; something a little decorative. We even thought about wanting a moment that felt like that scene from Beauty and the Beast\u2014you know, when Belle comes down the stairs and the Beast is all dressed up, waiting for her.<\/p><p><b><b>Do you have a favourite moment or photo from the shoot?<\/b><\/b><\/p><p><i>Eric<\/i>: There were a lot of shots we loved, but I think the one that stood out the most was the balcony shot. It just looked so majestic\u2014almost like we were royal envoys from the Joseon period. The massive doors behind us really added to that feeling, making it seem like we were stepping out as royalty.<\/p><p class=\"special\">Venue: National Gallery Singapore<br \/>Hanbok: Bidanhyang<br \/>Hair and make up: <a href=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/featured\/juliekim-makeup\/\">JULIEKIM Makeup<\/a><br \/>Photography: <a href=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/featured\/adante\/\">Adante<\/a><br \/>BTS Videography: <a href=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/featured\/freshfromkenneth\/\">Freshfromkenneth<\/a><\/p><hr \/><p><i><b>Want to see your love story featured on SingaporeBrides too?
