Netflix’s ‘My Korean Boyfriend’ features love stories that cross continents and often feel like modern-day fairy tales. Likewise, Morena Monaco and Kim Suwoong’s relationship is no exception. For nearly a year, the Brazilian beauty and the Korean native had quietly built a bond, which was strengthened by their multiple in-person meetings in both Brazil and South Korea. When Morena returned to Seoul, she openly expressed her hopes for marriage. By the next morning, her boyfriend, Suwoong, was standing at the doorstep of the house where she lived with the other girls. After their reunion, it was revealed that, although they shared plans to build a life together, an obstacle stood in their way.
Morena and Suwoong Got Engaged Shortly After Their Second Meeting
Kim Suwoong had decided that he wanted to move to Brazil to be closer to Morena Monaco, but his mother strongly opposed the idea. Still, the couple chose to savor their time together. They went on a romantic date, during which he admitted that his mother hadn’t been happy the last time she saw her wearing a particular dress. Hence, Suwoong asked her to dress appropriately in front of his mother, leaving her anxious. Shortly after, he sent a car to pick up Morena from her house. Her heart began to race as she began wondering if he was going to propose to her. Her suspicions soon proved to be true. He took her to a candlelit restaurant, decorated with flowers, where he spoke about wanting to move forward in life with her by his side. In a romantic moment, Suwoong dropped to one knee and finally popped the question.
Overwhelmed with emotion, Morena embraced Suwoong and joyfully said, “Yes.” She later wanted them to go out together, wearing hanboks (traditional Korean attire). Although he initially told her that he wasn’t going to come, he surprised her by wearing it anyway when she stepped out with the other girls. Hand in hand, they wandered through the historic streets, soaking in the beauty of the place. Within a short time, the couple met with Korean wedding planners for their wedding planning, and she even revealed that she wanted to have a church wedding in Brazil as well. However, Suwoong’s mother was still unaware of the proposal. They finally broke the news to his mother at a restaurant, and to their surprise, she promptly gave them her blessing.
Morena and Suwoong Are Leading an Extremely Happy Married Life
Morena had even written a letter for Suwoong’s mothers, expressing her gratitude for raising him to be such a gentleman. Soon after, the pair took the mother-in-law to go shopping for wedding dresses. By the end of the show, the couple took their wedding pictures in Korea and finally tied the knot in a beautiful church in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. As of writing, Morena and Suwoong are basking in the happiness of their newly married life. They often leave affectionate messages on each other’s Instagram pictures, collaborate on shared content, and proudly feature each other on their profiles. In January 2026, Morena couldn’t help but react to images of him wearing a hanbok. Her reaction showcases how much she admires Suwoong.
Suwoong’s response was just as endearing, which was a light-hearted laugh that perfectly captured the bond between him and Morena. She has also shared that they have begun traveling to various exotic destinations, spending more time together. So far, their journeys have taken them from the City of Love—Paris, France, to see the historic monuments in Italy. In May 2025, he was in Brazil to explore its vibrant beaches. It is a possibility that he may have already moved there. Most recently, in January 2026, the pair enjoyed the snowy mountains of Switzerland. From cozy restaurant dates to celebrating each other’s birthdays with his family, it appears that they genuinely cannot spend a moment without each other. We do hope that Morena and Suwoong’s love continues to grow with every passing day.
