Andrea Brillantes –@blythe.pfft/ INSTAGRAM What qualities does Andrea Brillantes look for in a future husband? The “dream,” she said, is to be with a man with good “morals, values and character.” But it wouldn’t hurt, she joked, if he also happens to be Korean and named Kim Soo-hyun.
“Actually, it’s more of his role, Baek Hyun-woo (in the K-drama ‘Queen of Tears’). That he’s played by Kim Soo-hyun is a bonus,” she told reporters at her recent launch as the newest endorser of the Filipino-owned fine jewelry brand LVNA by Drake Dustin. The 21-year-old actress is an unabashed fangirl of the South Korean star.
In fact, she trooped to his recent Manila fan meeting in a bridal-inspired outfit—veil, bouquet and all. If she hadn’t misplaced her tickets on the day of the event, she could have actually put in more effort and prepared a wedding ring, too. It all worked out in the end, though, with Andrea managing to snap a photo of Soo-hyun giving her a “finger heart” gesture.
Still, nothing is official yet between them, she joked, because the actor has yet to “sign” [the imaginary marriage contract]. “Maybe next time,” she said, laughing. “He said he will return soon, so iniisip ko kung ano magiging atake ko .
.. if I would put on a wedding dress again,” Andrea said, laughing.
“Maybe I should just pull out the ring and go, ‘Here, just take it!’” But in all earnestness, her fangirling and love for Korean pop culture is one of Andrea’s.
