Song Jae Rim and Kim So Eun have always been associated with one another since they started working together. Needless to say, the duo had amazing and irreplaceable chemistry.
But, many fans are keen to know whether Kim So Eun really was Song Jae Rim’s wife or not. The truth is, she was not, though they definitely had a good friendship.
Key Takeaways
- Song Jae Rim was a Korean actor and model who passed away in November 2024. Kim So Eun is a Korean actress.
- Song and Kim were allegedly dating, but there has never been solid proof of this. Further, they never married.
- Rumors about Song and Kim dating emerged mostly because of their chemistry on the popular show We Got Married.
Song Jae Rim’s tragic passing has shed light on his possible relationship with his co-actor from We Got Married.
In fact, many had even assumed that the two were actually married in real life. Usually, when someone refers Song Jae Rim to Kim, they call him her husband.
This may have caused most of the confusion and made people believe what is not the truth.
The onscreen couple had good chemistry, and fans cannot imagine any other actor pulling off either of the roles.
Their performance in “We Got married” was so loved by the audience and even the jury of an award show that they won the title of “Best Couple” at the 2014 MBC Entertainment Awards.
But this does not mean that they were actually married or even dating. The two were never spotted together romantically outside of their work.
They had always kept respectful boundaries with one another and never really went beyond their onscreen relationship.
Kim and Song also never quite posted of one another on social media. This suggests that they had kept their relationship simply professional.
But, of course, a good friendship between the two was likely.

A comment showed appreciation for the onscreen couple as well as for the late actor,
@socun89 I always saw you two as a couple. It’s so sad that he’s no longer here. You would have made such a beautiful pair. Why did he do it? He was so educated, with such a high intellect, so positive, and had such a great sense of humor. Did he really give up in the face of difficulties? 💔 Why didn’t his humor help him during that time in his life?😢

Another showed empathy to Eun during the situation and addressed a fact,
Guys, despite of your grief please be more respectful on what you comment here. Fyi So eun is not his real wife and not his gf either. It’s okay to reminisce about the past a bit, but please consider her position as well. If she makes a different post for him then go ahead but until then, give her some space.

Even though Eun has not spoken out, it is best to let the actress process the situation and get through it privately while remaining as respectful as possible for both the late actor and his co-actor.
We truly wish Song’s soul to rest easy. May his family have the strength to endure this trying time.
