Although the wedding ceremony was omitted, the bridal shower was held specially. Former announcer and broadcaster Kim Da-young enjoyed a small but heartfelt bridal shower by the Han River ahead of her marriage to her fiancé Bae Sung-jae.
On the 2nd, Kim Da-young shared several photos on her social media, saying, "Since a fancy bridal shower felt awkward, I will have a bridal shower in our style at Yeouido Han River Park prepared by cute '92 princesses who can't do that anyway."
In the released photos, Kim Da-young is smiling happily while wearing a white dress and a veil, holding a bouquet made by her friends. As she said, "Since I'm holding a self-made bouquet carefully chosen flower by flower, I can't help but feel like a bride!", she fully expressed the excitement of a bride.
Meanwhile, announcer Kim Da-young and Bae Sung-jae, a couple with a 14-year age difference, will marry in May after dating for two years. The two met while appearing together on SBS' 'Goal Diggers' and developed their relationship into a romantic one, eventually deciding to marry. However, they will start their married life by only registering their marriage without a wedding ceremony.
An official from Bae Sung-jae's agency, SM C&C, noted, "The two wish to start quietly without any formalities and plan to substitute the ceremony with a family meal," adding, "As for other matters related to the marriage, we kindly ask for your understanding since they are personal matters of the couple."
Kim Da-young stated through her personal social media, "I have long thought about how we can be together in a harmless and unobtrusive way for both of us and everyone around us. I will not hold a separate ceremony, but will gather only immediate family for a meal instead. While it would be polite to inform friends one by one in advance, I ask for your understanding as I am unable to do so due to various cautious circumstances. I will sincerely receive your congratulations and blessings only in my heart."
Bae Sung-jae also humorously shared his thoughts on the marriage with listeners of SBS Radio Power FM's 'Bae Sung-jae's Ten' at the same time as announcing his marriage, saying, "Though I couldn't convey it with a report, I wanted to tell you through radio, so I decided to do the opening live. Thank you to those who congratulated us, and I apologize to those who are upset."
Meanwhile, ahead of her marriage, Kim Da-young submitted her resignation to SBS, and she stepped down from her role as a regular guest on SBS Power FM's 'Kim Young-cheol's Power FM' after the broadcast ended on the 23rd of last month.
