Kim Tae-hee, Rain deny wedding rumors
Singer-actor Rain and actress Kim Tae-hee on Friday denied rumors that they are planning a wedding later this year.
On Friday a local news outlet reported the two have already received approval from their families and are making concrete plans, including arrangements for wedding photo shoots.
"Kim has no plans to marry within the year," an official from Kim's agency said. "She is still dating Rain, but there are no concrete plans to wed."

The two stars, who were first reported to be dating on January 1, 2013, have confirmed their relationships status, but they have largely kept their romance out of the spotlight.
At the time of the revelation, singer Rain was enlisted in his mandatory military service, which he was discharged from in July.
The initial report said signs of wedding preparations were apparent from as early as late last year.
The same outlet said there was opposition from families on both sides to marrying a fellow celebrity, which was reportedly an ongoing issue of contention for both stars. Rain is said to have tried to win over his Kim's family members.
Rain converted to Roman Catholicism, following actress Kim, and sold his long-term residence in Samseong-dong, Seoul.
The 32-year-old, who was a K-pop sensation in the 2000s, recently concluded filming for the Chinese drama series "Diamond Lover."
Kim, 34, is one of Korea's most popular and successful actresses.
