In the program 'Lovers of Joseon,' Shim Hyeon-seob left expectations by mentioning Lee Byung-hun as the officiant for the wedding.
On the broadcast of TV Chosun's entertainment show 'Lovers of Joseon' on the 17th, Shim Hyeon-seob sought to secure the role of officiant for the wedding.
After 90 days until the wedding, Shim Hyeon-seob met again with Lee Cheon-soo, the chairman of the 'Wedding Promotion Commissioner.' Lee Cheon-soo, who reunited with Shim Hyeon-seob after a long time, cautiously asked, "Has any discussion about the venue or anything come up yet?" When the production team answered, "The (wedding) date has already been set," Lee Cheon-soo looked surprised. Shim Hyeon-seob then said, "Did you not know? The chairman? What do you really know..." and expressed disappointment.
Shim Hyeon-seob said, "Kim Jong-min and Ailee's wedding date is April 20," revealing the wedding date. In response, Lee Cheon-soo remarked, "Ah... then the congratulatory songs and everything will overlap. It's concerning," scratching his head, while Shim Hyeon-seob pressed, "That's the chairman's responsibility." They even jokingly discussed, "Could the officiant be coach Hiddink?" To which Lee Cheon-soo replied, "It can all be arranged," puffing himself up, and Shim Hyeon-seob replied, "Then that would be amazing" in excitement.
Meanwhile, Shim Hyeon-seob mentioned movies in relation to the officiant, stating, "Hollywood has also entered the picture." He referred to Lee Byung-hun, Lee Jung-jae, and Jang Dong-gun. Shim Hyeon-seob remarked, "I know, but I don't know if the number is correct; it's been a long time since I've seen him," adding, "He's my senior by a year, Lee Byung-hun." He then asked Lee Cheon-soo for help in contacting Lee Byung-hun. Suddenly, Shim Hyeon-seob said, "I'll give him a call; Lee Byung-hun is a reliable person who doesn't lie," and took out his mobile phone, surprising the production team.
Shim Hyeon-seob said, "I met him at a movie screening about a decade ago and promised to call him if I ever got married, to officiate; it's not a joke." However, when asked if he had contacted him recently, he replied, "I thought he would be busy, so I hadn't contacted him, but I mustered the courage to call."
However, a voice message saying 'the number is turned off' was heard. Lee Cheon-soo said, "That might not be the right number." He added, "A close friend in the comedian circle is Shin Dong-yeop; see if you can connect through him," expressing doubts about the connections. When the production team pointed out, "The profile shows he's the same age," Shim Hyeon-seob replied, "He joined a year earlier. I've known him since high school because he was already cool back then," and noted, "Since I initially called him hyung (older brother), it just stuck. "
Lee Cheon-soo promised, "If it doesn't work out, I'll step in and check it out." Suddenly, Lee Cheon-soo said, "I'll connect with my wife (Lee Min-jung)," and abruptly called someone in the Netherlands. He mentioned that a friend's wife is close to Lee Min-jung. He added, "I spoke with her recently," and fortunately, they successfully located Lee Byung-hun's number. The number Shim Hyeon-seob had was indeed correct. He then expressed anticipation at whether Lee Byung-hun would be able to officiate, and Kim Guk-jin said, "If Hyun-seob can't do it, we'll try to secure it; we'll see him on the golf course." Hwang Bo-ra also joined in, saying she is close to Min-jung.
The production team also noted, "If this works out, it will be a major project," to which Lee Cheon-soo responded, "It seems like it's already been secured; I had a feeling."
