Bae Seong-jae's agency, SM C&C, noted, "The two wanted to quietly start their life together by skipping all formalities and will substitute the ceremony with a family gathering to share a meal," adding, "Since other matters related to the marriage are private, we kindly ask for your understanding that we cannot provide specifics."
In connection with this, Announcer Kim Da-young explained on her personal social media, "I have long thought about how we can be together in a way that is harmless and easy for both us and those around us. Instead of a separate ceremony, we plan to gather only immediate family for a meal. While it would be polite to individually contact friends and inform them in advance, I hope you understand that I couldn't do so for various cautious reasons. I will truly accept your congratulations and blessings with only my heart."
Bae Seong-jae, at the same time as announcing his marriage, met listeners as a DJ on SBS Radio Power FM 'Bae Seong-jae's Ten' (hereafter 'Baeten') to share his wedding sentiments. He directly mentioned the wedding news that had created a stir the day before during the live broadcast, stating, "I couldn't deliver the first news, but I wanted to share it on the radio, so I proceeded with just the opening live. I thank those who congratulated us and apologize to those who are upset."
As Bae Seong-jae and Kim Da-young's marriage news has been a hot topic, it has come to light that Kim Da-young expressed her intention to resign from SBS on the 11th of last month, which has further piqued interest in their marriage.

Bae Seong-jae disclosed the entire process from his first meeting with Kim Da-young to the proposal.
