I know a super sweet story. The couples was discussing marriage and engagement rings, and she explained that she wanted a specific type of diamond. She understood that it was expensive, and she was happy to wait until they had saved the money to buy it. She jokingly said she was happy to wear "an old dried our rubber band" in the meantime. So, years later when he proposed he brought out an elaborate velvet box. He said it was very romantic, on the beach with the sun setting. He proposed, and opened the box... and inside was a old dried out rubber band. She was so thrilled they were getting married, and as he went to put it on her finger, it SNAPPED AND BROKE, and she burst into tears "That's my engagement ring!" He responded "Wait! I have another one!" And pulled the actual diamond ring she had always wanted from his pocket. ❤️❤️❤️ They've been married at least 25-30 years now.

Also another fun fact about the rings: he chose opal since that is HyunA's favorite gem and the 7 diamonds is representing the 7 years they've been together.

These rings fit their style so well!! I don't think any other couple can make it work, it is very unique to them. edit: thanks for the likes hehe

The super unique rings IMO aren't just because they're "Kpop" but because they are THE HyunA and DAWN. It's been years since i stop keeping up with Kpop but I remember HyunA and DAWN broke many unwritten rules in Kpop, they made quite a scandal and I'd say, changed a major part of how Kpop world work as well. Kpop idols have really strict dating ban that a relationship could literally end their career if caught. I'm not joking when i say getting caught dating in Kpop = getting caught doing drugs/crimes. It's a really messed up thing that went on for years in the industry. DAWN was a new artist back then, debuted in the same company as HyunA. HyunA was (still is) already huge in Kpop world, literally the money-maker of the company Cube. After getting caught dating, both of them got their contracts terminated. Cube's stonks dropped like no other because like i said, HyunA was their money-maker. They realised their mistake and tried to get them back into the company but the couple just went "f u" and just... started spamming their Instagram with pictures of them on dates 😂. I remember it happened within just a few days and i was like wth just happened??? Did they just kick out THE HyunA??? And then the couple went off for a year and signed with P-Nation led by PSY. Their love story has already widely well-known because of all the scandals so it comes in handy to market them as a couple in the first place.

These rings just scream 'Hyuna and Dawn' ... it really reflects who they are and their aesthetic.

A K-pop reaction? Wow! Glad to hear your thoughts on their rings!

I was gonna comment that the rings were giving me mermaid vibes, and then you showed the boxes. Very cool design, definitely not for everyone Edit: i cant believe I forgot to comment on the kitty! Kingsley is very beautiful and elegant, i hope he gets a million purrs

I feel like Dawn chose Opal because it represents their love? They're so extravagant, us against the world type of couple but they know deep down that their love is so deep and they will always have a soft spot for each other. Yes, it's quite fragile like a love story. So they need to protect it, nourish it, so it'll become stronger. I don't know man, just guessing or maybe he just love the color lol

I have no words to describe, how much I love these rings. They're unique and colorful and playful in a fun, non pretentious way. While at the same time a display of gorgeous stones and craftsmanship. I'm planning to do something similar with stones from inherited jewelry, I wouldn't otherwise wear. Just probably as a pendant with matching earrings, since I don't like wearing awkwardly large rings.

Before I even watch this, I’ve been a HyunA fan for almost a decade. She is my ultimate bias!! Her getting married to a man she loves that makes her happy is a dream come true for me. He’s also adorable and talented. And the icing on top are these spectacular rings!!!! I love love love the stones and setting they chose, absolutely stunning and elegant. Now I wait for the wedding dress….

Background on the couple and why I'm not surprised with how bold their choice of engagement ring is (especially when you consider how conservative Korea is): Dawn and HyunA met within the same K-Pop agency; Dawn (stage name then E'Dawn) was part of boy group Pentagon (debut 2016) and HyunA was a fairly popular singer originally from girl group Wonder Girls (2007) as well as solo singer (2010). Both were under agency Cube Entertainment at the time. It's changing now with more and more agencies allowing more freedom to their idols, but back then dating was absolutely banned both inside and outside the company (generally, most idols don't have time for dating which is its own issue, but boy groups are especially marketed as "your boyfriend" tropes and types, fans get weird). They started dating in secret while they were both still under Cube, though likely some group members knew to help them sneak out/there's definitely compilations out there of awkward moments that now make sense. It's incredibly risky to do something that is a contract breaking offense (that they signed) and especially risky for newly debuted idol groups who might not necessarily succeed anyways. HyunA has said before they started dating in 2016 (the same year that Pentagon debuted and Dawn's first year as an idol). Eventually the company found out and Dawn's contract was terminated in 2018 for both his personal contract with Cube and his membership as part of Pentagon; for reference, not many idols make it as a solo artist and this was kind of a scandal. HyunA was also terminated for the same reason ("lack of trust"); as terrible as this is, HyunA was and is fairly popular and already a debuted/tenured idol/solo artist so it wasn't particularly surprising that she (and Dawn as well) ended up signing with P-Nation with in a couple months. Scandals though tend to follow artists and considering artists are generally trainees for years with no clear confirmation they will debut, a lot of these secret relationships usually break up at the risk of their chosen careers and/or from their careers possibly ending (idols generally train from their high school years, Dawn debuted pretty late at 22 and HyunA at the average age at the time of 15). Musically, they've always been stylistically a bit "unique" so the bold design isn't a surprise. Add in the fact their relationship was also a lot of very strong commitment and bold choices, that bravery to do the unique is also kind of a given. As much as Korea is fairly flexible for KPop in style, the country is still very conservative as a whole and you'll notice the artists are expected to kind of conform to expectations, so them refusing to conform even at the expense of their contracts and outside of traditional expected wedding bands... well... these rings are entirely them and it isn't really a surprise at all. It's well designed and created for their personalities and it is so clear there was a lot of time spent.

Such an unexpected reaction! but I loved your take on it, tysm 🥺Hyuna and Dawn have quite unique styles and the 7 diamonds represent their seven years as a couple so everything about them is very symbolic and personal

These are very dramatic, they kind of look like they were found in the ocean like a buried treasure, beautiful ! Awe I wish I could have a cat - I'm allergic unfortunately, but I have been a masochist and taken care of my friends' cats at their houses so I would only spend an hour or so :) - aaaaand one more purr for you Kingsley!

Honestly I think these rings show how much Dawn knows Hyuna and their style as a whole. I think she would've happily accepted the usual type of ring, but she has such unique style that these rings just scream THEM and Dawn clearly took the time to make sure the rings represented them both perfectly.

Not my style, but I love it!!! These are such amazing rings, and I am obsessed about the natural organic feel of them, and the craftsmanship involved!

The ring is not for me but it makes a lot of much sense to me, knowing who they are and given their known style.

I'm obsessed with how unique and almost antique styling of these rings 😭

The thing that I want to point out is that the gold ring on top is a couple ring that hyuna got for them a couple years ago and I just think that it’s super cute that they’re wearing them together

My ring is an open pokeball with a garnet on the inside and "I choose you" engraved inside the band. My husband's is a flat band with an engraved closed pokeball on the outside and "I choose you" engraved on the inside. So we have complimentary rings with a unified theme but they aren't the same ring.

The rings aren´t my personal preference but I LOVE how much these rings represent their personalities and styles. Some people might not understand the choice but it makes total sense for these 2

Love me a Count of Monte Cristo reference xD this is making me think that you should react to your favorite rings throughout history and pop culture. Is there a certain icon's ring who a lot of your customers take inspiration from? Is there a certain trend you enjoy working with best? I'm sure I'm not the only one curious to know :D

• Opal screams their aesthetic. Dreamy. • 7 diamonds is how long they've been together. • It's colourful because their hyunaXdawn debut had that crazy colour scheme.

The Opals are incredible, and make sense for a celebrity who can take them off often or replace the opals when needed after damage. I love the addition of the two gold cross rings. Definitely not my style, but love it for them 😊

I love the uniqueness of these rings. I really enjoy non-diamond rings. My friends mom had a hint pearl wedding ring. It’s gorgeous- but I know I’m too rough on my hands to get a softer stone.

I love how different these rings are. I personally don’t like gold or white stones so I am so happy to see rings like these

I love how positive and affirming your reactions are. Just goes to show you don’t have to tear people down to make a fun and watchable video :) And I agree! These rings have so much personality. Our beliefs about what makes “classy” vs “trashy” jewelry are made up. Let people have fun!

that is a super cool idea for an engagement ring - definitely out there! i'm not sure whether there is any truth to this, but i've always heard that opals (and pearls) should be worn frequently, because they have such a high water content in them and having it against or close to your skin replenishes the stone. is this a thing at all? in regards to people saying that megan fox's and these rings look cheap, my guess is that people (especially in the west, where engagement rings have been a tradition for a long time) are very much used to more classic, neutral and, arguably, "safer" designs because it's a piece that would be worn everyday and should go with a lot of things. many people aren't used to seeing a giant emerald that's so strikingly green, or colored diamonds that look playful, so perhaps their minds go immediately to cz's that are in cheap costume jewelry? as far as having to spend a certain amount (or the whole x months' salary thing) on an engagement ring, that's just madness to me. it's like if you don't spend enough then the assumption is that you love your partner less? pfft...

Always excited when I see a new video from you. I love that engagement rings are trending away from the standard gold and white diamond.

You can tell a lot of thought went into these rings and it says a lot about the couple 💙beautiful rings!

yesss I didn't expect this reaction. They're unique as much as their rings

Thanks for the analysis! I thought of you when I saw the rings, so I'm glad you heard about them! Very cool and unique

OMG! These two have the most beautiful rings I have ever seen! I have several pieces with an “organic” shape and non traditional mix and size of stones. From the outside looking in, those rings represent many sides of the whole! Obviously these two beautiful people don’t live in a box! BEAUTIFUL! I understood there to be a coating that can be put over the opal to make it more durable for everyday wear. Best wishes always to the amazing couple💛

I love your process videos and I also love your reactions on engagement rings because your insights are very informative.

I really enjoy watching you show us these rings. As someone else said, please give us your reaction to older celebrity rings. Thanks for the fun 😊!

i love this ring!! never seen anything like it, and it's so colorful

Yay! So glad you reacted to their rings!

These rings really match them perfectly. Their relationship is so precious.

This just might be the coolest looking celebrity ring I've ever seen. I Love how unique and pretty it is.

It’s the first time I’ve seen one of your videos and I didn’t know what to expect, but you’re the absolute cutest! I love this couple and their whole story makes me super happy so the way yo explained it was really interesting

AHHH IM SO EXCITED YOUR REVIEWING THESE RINGS!! They are my favourite celebrity couple, absolute goals

I absolutely ADORE your upbeat and positive personality! Such a breath of fresh air. I subbed after watching just one of your videos. I love watching you work and create!

It's so interesting to look at. It's like you would never get tired of it

I love your take on engagement rings!

These are such pretty and unique rings and very true to their style I’m so happy for them

Dude..I love your point of views on life. So honest and humble. And with all due respect, you are such a nerd. Loved the kitty cameo. Stay safe.

YAY you reacted to it! Tagged you in their post with slim hope you'd do it. The opal resilience issue did flit through my mind, glad you addressed it. Also "too unique" describes them to a T.

Kingston! What a fluffy purr sweetie!!!. I really appreciate your jewelry esthetic: how you see the possibilities of what could be, how to make it ethically, and still make it all beautifully. Also love that you give back to your town and love the local musicians!

Oh my God I love your videos so much!! To be honest I had no idea Hyuna and Dawn got engaged! WOW so happy for them!!! The kpop world is SO judgy and super tough on idol couples, they receive incredible amount of hate and bad rep for being public with their relationship (it's like the media and the obsessive fans want their faves to be single virginal and pure forever) it's sooo different from the western world! Whenever there's a couple that dares the break the mold, they usually crumble under pressure and split apart, but these two have endured it all! I wish them the very best! The rings are incredibly unique, like them! I adored this! (AND THE CAT!)

I love that you said playful and colorful doesn't equal cheap! :) Thanks!

That is one of the most gorgeous rings I have seen! Those opals are FANTASTIC! So colorful! So FUN! I also love the organic style. My friend does a lot of settings like that. I gotta say I personally would way prefer something playful and interesting like this than a traditional diamond solitaire. And you be so right about the opals though. I had a friend who REALLY wanted an opal wedding ring. It was beautiful....for a couple years. Then it became majorly cracked. And...not that I am an expert or anything...but I THIIIINK those are Ethiopian opals. This was a fun watch! I don't know these people but boy they designed some cool rings!

Obsessed with the opal rings 😍😍😍

OMG IM SO HAPPY YOU MENTIONED MONTE CRISTO IT MY FAV MOVIE JDYFY Thank you for you insight on the rings !! They are indeed unique

I have no idea who these people even are but I love how unique their rings are. They are nothing like my style but very beautiful. I really love it when rings really reflect the person. I also love your cat! 😻

My parents were too tight on money to get engagement rings, after many years they bought my mother a beautiful opal ring EXCEPT that she forgot to take it off whilst doing the dishes....NOTE opals get destroyed colour wise with dishwashing liquid!!!

The rings give me masive mermaid vibes, especially with the boxes. They suit the couple really well, congrats for them.

omg i was waiting for this, thank you!

These are my favorite engagement rings I’ve ever seen from a couple I love it and they fit them so much

They are absolutely beautiful. They are so unique and amazing.

Opal are my favorite stone, thank you for that information. I will keep that in mind for future perches.

Wow I love those rings! So cute that they're matching and are so unique. Best wishes to the unique couple wearing them

I love those rings. I think they are my favourite I've seen, they are so unique and beautiful and clearly fit to their personalities and I love them having the same ring. Just all the love. And love for Kingsley and his purrs!

The video I didn't know I needed. Thanks a lot!

Thank you for sharing your insight and skills

Omg I’m so happy for them like I screamed when I found out I support them so much The rings suit them so much. Ngl they both lifted my standards throughout the years

loving these reaction videos!!

MY BLACK CAT HAS THE SAME NAME! Amazing! You are so brilliant in your analysis. I’m learning so much.

I love it !!! I've never seen someone wearing opal rings as engagement rings

I love this guy, he's so cool and humble! ♡♡

I love their rings, it's so pretty and unique! I'm a big fan of Hyuna and Dawn so thank you for this video!

Yes!!!! the first time i saw the post i immediately thought of sending it to you but stupid brain keeps forgetting to remind me to do it LOL so excited to see this on my feed, watching it now!

I love opals but didn’t know they were so fragile. Good to know!

I saw this video on my suggested list. Hey! I really love your videos when they have a lot of your wholesome personality and content that YOU like. So, plz don't loose yourself in giving the masses what they want for content. It's hard to have a balance. But you're just so kind, cool, and talented! I don't want you to lose yourself to the hustle of making money. Make sure to make videos that YOU like.

Love the organic style!

When their engagement rings came out I was about to comment him to do the reaction 🤩 Thanks tho!!! Much appreciated 🙏 ☺ 🙌

I love your best dad hat! So sweet!

When i first saw the rings in her IG i kinda wish u would do the review on how u see the rings.. its unique but as they both are also unique it fits their current personality..

Thank you for the info. Because i want opals on my engagement ring. Ill be very very very mindful with it.

Ikr!! That was so sweet how they both got matching rings. Dawn is the best!!

I absolutely appreciate your honesty with this ring as the ring I’m looking at getting is going to have an opal centre stone and also be very organic looking✨ this is probably one of the closest rings I’ve seen to what I’m going to get🙇🏻‍♀️

I have an Opal ring that has a silver band...I don't wear it everyday due to my job but will wear it when i'm off work...Opal is my fave stone...It's so beautiful & unique yet simple. I's love an opal engagement ring.

Oh my gosh, your kitpurr is the cutest ball of floof!

I love these rings!

Thank you for sharing your Knowledge !

These rings are gorgeous

OMG I GOT SO EXCITED WHEN SEEING THIS YESSSS

I love watching your videos! The reaction to engagement rings are really fun to watch 😄 Can you do a video about your wife's engagement ring?

I /love/ Hyuna and Dawn's rings!! I've been a Hyuna fan since 2011 and I'm so happy for her!

I love those two rings!

Great site. I love all the informative & educational details provided. Thanks for sharing. That Tuxedo cat sealed the deal to subscribe 😉.

I love their rings. They are so beautiful and so them. Perfect for this lovely gorgeous couple. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜💗

I don’t know who these people are but their rings are beautiful!!! So unique. I was a jeweler and oh definitely the ring will be recreated in someway. Great video! ❤️❤️❤️

im so glad youtube recommended me this video and i found your channel!

thank u for this OMG

I feel like there is so much more though going in to a engagement ring these days, not just a diamond rock. And i love it

I love the mermaid look!! It’s so vibrant and who knows if that is supposed to be symbolic for them. 😊 I’m currently just using a pink& white silicone ring that I interchange, tbh. I’m happy with it. I’ll upgrade sometime later on an anniversary. Like others mentioned, the love and commitment in the relationship is most important 😊. I love looking at the fine crafted jewelry and can’t wait until I can buy some!! Also, I love your explanation of the movie 😆👏 Edit: Wow! After reading some of the other comments, I think there should be a movie about their fight for their love!

They are so cute together and their rings show their unique love !

Never thought I'd see two of my favorite things - Modern Goldsmith and kpop - collide but I love it!!

These rings fit their unique style and personality and I love how they match it is so precious! After everything Dawn and Hyuna went through they deserve nothing but happiness.

it's so great to see more unique ring designs, rather than just big diamond in different shape or color, and halo.

I love Dawn and Hyuna! Theyare fabulous♡
