Kaya rin isa sa mga parang reasons ko kung bakit ako nag-decide na pakasalan siya kasi grabe naman din talaga &#x27;yung respect niya sa boundaries ko and &#x27;yung respect niya sa akin mismo. And ang hirap nang makahanap ng ganung klaseng guy sa panahon ngayon.&quot;</p><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-25" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DIYwlaYSL6K/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=607&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A25%2C%22os%22%3A7430984.100000024%2C%22ls%22%3A46601.89999997616%2C%22le%22%3A46613.60000002384%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="882" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-25" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>Before their engagement, Kristel admitted to testing Su-hyuk’s patience. &quot;Tine-test ko rin siya kasi gusto kong malaman kung talagang marunong siya maghintay. Kung gaano kahaba &#x27;yung pasensya niya. Kung kaya niya bang pag-daanan &#x27;tong challenge na &#x27;to. So lahat naman, napatunayan niya sa akin. So nung napatunayan niya sa akin lahat, walang ng dahilan kung ba&#x27;t pa ako hindi magse-settle down sa kanya.&quot;</p><p>She also reflected on the cultural differences in dating practices between Korea and the Philippines and how Su-hyuk&#x27;s patience stood out.</p><p>&quot;Tine-test ko rin &#x27;yung gaano &#x27;yung patience niya kunwari sa paghintay sa akin. Matagal din &#x27;yun. Para sa mga Koreans, paano &#x27;yung dating system sa Korea... pabilisan tapos very modern. Traditional ako. Conservative. Sabi nga ng iba sa akin may pagkamanang pero &#x27;yun ako eh, I don&#x27;t mind those comments.&quot;</p><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2025/5/8/kristel-fulgar-to-settle-down-in-korea-after-her-wedding-1241"><strong>READ: Kristel Fulgar to settle down in Korea after her wedding</strong></a></div><p>As she is about to start a new chapter with Su-hyuk, Kristel said she’s looking forward to ending their long-distance relationship.</p><p>&quot;Gusto ko lang matapos na &#x27;yung LDR thing namin. Akala ko dati sobrang magiging okay lang ako sa LDR kasi parang independent ako, kaya ko sarili ko, hindi ko kailangan ng man sa buhay ko. Pero nung dumating siya, sabi ko parang ayaw ko na mahiwalay sa kanya. So parang nag-decide na rin kami magpakasal para pwede na kami magkasama, like everyday,&quot; she remarked.</p><p>Kristel also shared that they’ve already begun preparing for their life together in Korea. &quot;Naga-aparment hunting na rin kami and nakahanap na rin kami ng parang saan namin gustong tumirang place sa Korea,&quot; she relayed.  </p><p>It was in February when Kristel announced her engagement to Su-hyuk.</p>
