Shim Hyun-seop has become April's groom.
Today (20th), Shim Hyun-seop will hold his wedding at an undisclosed location in Seoul, rising as the late-blooming groom of April.
Shim Hyun-seop has attracted attention by revealing his love story with Jung Young-rim, 11 years his junior, whom he met through acquaintances on TV Chosun's "Lovers of Chosun" since July of last year, starting to date in March of last year. He has even depicted himself receiving permission to marry.
Thus, after a year of dating, Shim Hyun-seop has reaped the fruits of marriage. In a phone call with OSEN, he noted, "I'm glad the venue has not been revealed," adding, "When I look at comments on YouTube or broadcasting programs, I see many people who want to congratulate me. Thank you so much for the congratulations. I have arranged for 1,000 guests, but I'm worried that people I don't know might come and leave without eating. "
He also joked about the wedding preparation process, saying, "To be honest, I haven't been busy until now, but now (with the article coming out) it seems like I will be busy."
Furthermore, Shim Hyun-seop has revealed the wedding preparation process through "Lovers of Chosun." In particular, the process of securing the host and singers for the event drew interest.
At that time, the broadcast featured Lee Cheon-soo, who represented the 'Cheongsong Shim family' and has served as the head of the 'Wedding Promotion Commissioner' support group, visiting Shim Hyun-seop to fulfill his campaign promise, and Shim Hyun-seop surprised everyone by naming actor Lee Byung-hun, his senior from high school, as his desired host.
He recalled, "Lee Byung-hun, whom I met at a screening over a decade ago, told me, 'When you get married, be sure to call me,' saying he would host the event." Afterward, Shim Hyun-seop and Lee Cheon-soo mobilized all their connections to launch the 2025 biggest project: 'Inviting actor Lee Byung-hun as the host.'
Additionally, the singers for the ceremony included Sung Si-kyung and Lee Moon-sae, who have comforted Shim Hyun-seop's tired heart during his time as 'Yenmotnam,' heightening anticipation for the 'ultra-luxurious wedding.'
Meanwhile, Shim Hyun-seop, now 55 years old, began his career after being selected as a comedian in the 5th recruitment by SBS in 1996. He later appeared in programs such as 'Gag Concert,' 'Where Is My Friend,' and 'Gagya.'
