On that day, when Kangnam met Seungri again on the subway, he asked, “Did you propose?” Seungri confessed, “I couldn’ t buy a ring because the price of gold is expensive.” Kangnam readily offered to buy the ring, saying, “I’ll buy it for you since it’s a wedding present.I think you should propose.”

The two then went to a luxury jewelry store in Gangnam, Seoul, and spent time choosing rings.When Seungri hesitated because of the higher-than-expected price, Kangnam coolly paid on the spot, shouting, “It’s a diamond!” Seungri said, “Thank you,” with reddened eyes, and Kangnam said, “You don’t have to be thankful.Rather, I’m grateful to you.My life has changed 180 degrees because of you,” conveying his sincerity.
