The ultra-luxurious wedding of Shim Hyun-seop, who married in April, was revealed in the TV CHOSUN extreme realism documentary entertainment program 'The Love Fool of Joseon.' The nationwide ratings for the broadcast that day reached 5.7%, making it the highest-rated among general programming channels, while the peak ratings soared to 6.3% (Nielsen Korea, nationwide). The target ratings for ages 25 to 49 also recorded 1.2% (based on the metropolitan area), securing the top spot among general programming channels.
In the episode aired on the 19th, Shim Hyun-seop showcased his changed daily life since becoming romantically involved with '♥Jeong Yeong-rim' right before his wedding at a makeup shop. He noted, "When I come up to Seoul, I get texts from Yeong-rim asking, 'What are you wearing?' Also, Yeong-rim carries around a nose hair trimmer for me," sharing a mix of complaint and bragging. In response, 'Kim Jun-ho♥' Kim Ji-min said, "Yeong-rim is living the same life as me. I think I could take a caregiver exam right now," and added, "For Kim Jun-ho, I carry everything from foot files for callus removal to hair dye for gray hair," expressing empathy.
Meanwhile, Jeong Yeong-rim, who was getting her makeup done, shared her reasons for marrying Shim Hyun-seop. She said, "It was a very natural decision. Because of his kindness and warmth... and he always makes me laugh," expressing her feelings by saying, "I feel the most like myself when I'm with him." She also added, "If you only look at our public personas, I wouldn't have wanted to get married. There are always reasons for wanting to do something," but added, "I don't want to be calculative with him. I want to give him everything. It feels worthwhile no matter what I do for him," which elicited warmth.
The venue of Shim Hyun-seop's ultra-luxurious wedding, attended by over 1,400 guests, was also revealed. Among the attendees were about 120 members of the Cheongsong Shim clan, from '23rd descendant' Shim Hye-jin to '27th descendant' Shim Jin-hwa, while '26th descendant' Shim Eun-ha sent congratulatory messages. Meanwhile, Shim Hyun-seop said, "The absence of my parents here is more of a longing than sadness... it's nostalgic," reflecting on the moment. In response, Kim Jun-ho, who attended the wedding with '♥Kim Ji-min,' recalled, "Before his mother passed away, she treated us, his comedian friends, so well," reminiscing about how she used to treat her son's rookie colleagues to meals.
Moreover, Shim Hyun-seop's wedding was attended not only by loving MCs but also by numerous comedians from the industry, including Lim Ha-ryong, Lee Yong-sik, Jeong Jong-cheol, Park Jun-hyung, Kim Dae-hee, Lim Hyuk-pil, Oh Na-mi, Kim Tae-kyun, Moon Se-yoon, Kim Won-hyo, Park Seong-ho, and Kim Gu-ra, to name just a few. The atmosphere of the venue felt like a festival, bolstered by the luxurious connections of the entertainment industry such as actors Lee Pil-mo and Jeong Bo-seok, a congratulatory video from 'one year senior' Lee Byung-hun, and a spirited cheering song from high school alumni. Additionally, there were festivities resembling award ceremonies by the '10 million director' Lee Byung-hun, celebratory remarks from Shim Hyung-rae, and a congratulatory song by Seol Woon-do. The highlight of the performances was a surprise appearance by 'Mistrot 2' winner Kim Da-hyun, arranged by Shim Hyun-seop for his mother-in-law.
With tears welling up in his eyes as he sent off his youngest daughter, Jeong Yeong-rim's father ultimately shed tears during an interview with the production team. He expressed, "I feel sad. To be born a human and to meet a spouse and get married... in that sense, I feel good. But my heart is overwhelmed," sharing his honest feelings. He also said, "Hyun-seop, thank you for becoming our son-in-law and for being like a son to us," prompting tears from the loving MCs.
