Shahjahanpur (Uttar Pradesh): Close on the heels of Seema Haider and Sachin Meena love story, another case has come to the fore in Uttar Pradesh's Shahjahanpur where a South Korean woman travelled to India for a youth she loved. The woman, who has come here on a three-month tourist visa, got married to her lover according to the Punjabi customs and is currently living with her in-laws.
Sukhjit Singh, a resident of Udna village of Puwayan tehsil in Shahjahanpur had gone to South Korea four years ago in search of job.

They became friends and soon their friendship turned into love.

After six months he returned to India but they remained in contact with each other. They wanted to get married and settle down. A month and a half back, Kim arrived in India and with the help of a friend living in Delhi, she reached Sukhjit's house in Puwayan.
