Girls' Generation member Hyoyeon promised to attend Koyote member Kim Jong-min's wedding.
On the 5th, a video titled 'Girls' Generation monetary gift class' was released on the YouTube channel 'Hyoyeon's Level Up.'
In the video, Hyoyeon said, "There is a groom-to-be ahead of marriage. Since I have not married, I want to have a proper conversation to understand how that feels. I wondered if this person could get married. There's an age gap, so such worries might arise." Then, Kim Jong-min suddenly appeared, saying, "Am I the only one with an age gap?" He was surprised by a banner that read, 'Koyote's eldest son Kim Jong-min gets married,' and joked, "If this is the case, people will think we're getting married together."
Hyoyeon, who received Kim Jong-min's wedding invitation, checked the date and said, "Of course, I will go," adding, "Brian was boasting about sending the video invitation. It feels like my heart is conveyed when doing it like a congratulatory message." Kim Jong-min explained, "I'm not good at making calls. It's awkward, so I made videos to save time and customized them for each person." The publicly displayed wedding invitation from Kim Jong-min included the messages, 'If I ever come to know what love is, it is only because of you' and 'As we welcome our third spring together, we will marry. Please bless our upcoming spring days.'
Kim Jong-min recalled his first meeting with his fiancée, saying, "A friend briefly came and told me to go see their face, so I briefly went in the evening and got contact information. The first impression was very good. They said to me, 'You're cute,' and I felt a flutter in my heart." Kim Jong-min, while eating bread with Hyoyeon, said, "Now we need to prepare for the second generation. We need to cheer up, but I think health is important for that. Someone told my fortune on 'Miu's Father,' and they said the first will be a son." Hyoyeon remarked, "I will definitely go and celebrate a lot. Many people will come, so there could be a partner for me there," revealing her ulterior motives.
Hyoyeon asked, "I'm concerned about the monetary gift when I attend the wedding. What is it like from the recipient's perspective?" Kim Jong-min replied, "I felt a lot of pressure when I was going. Once it's time to receive, I hope it would be comfortable. I would be very thankful if people just come and give it. It's not easy." Kim Jong-min noted, "The wedding expenses vary depending on where it is held. It's 100,000 won, but if someone pays 50,000 won and leaves, that's possible. If someone complains about that, isn't it strange? I thought I could even end up in deficit when reserving the venue. I am also thinking about return gifts, which also have a significant expense."
Kim Jong-min stated about the monetary gift standards, "There's nothing set, but I will give what I received." Hyoyeon replied, "I have a set standard. Just the act of going costs 300,000 won. If we're very close, I'll add more from my heart." Kim Jong-min said, "We seem to be quite close," while anticipating a generous monetary gift. The production team decided on the wedding monetary gift of 30,000 won through quizzes and games without any hard feelings.
The debut date of Girls' Generation and the first broadcast date of '1 Night 2 Days' were both on Aug. 5, 2007. The quiz and discussion covered events from 2007, the peak search times for Girls' Generation and '1 Night 2 Days,' the expense that ranks third in wedding costs, and the number of married production crew members present at the venue. Ultimately, it was decided that Kim Jong-min's wedding monetary gift would be 30,000 won. Kim Jong-min remarked, "Did you invite me for this? Still, please come and eat some food," evoking laughter.
Meanwhile, Kim Jong-min will marry his 11-year-younger girlfriend on April 20.
