Kim Ji-min and Kim Jun-ho's wedding, with performances by Gummy and Byun Jin-seob... is Jo Hye-ryeon ultimately 'out'?
Comedian couple Kim Jun-ho (48) and Kim Ji-min (40) are tying the knot today (13th) after three years of publicly dating. The wedding ceremony of the representative couple in the entertainment industry will be held privately this afternoon at the Grand Intercontinental Parnas Hotel in Samseong-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, with about 1,200 guests from the broadcasting industry attending the event.
The ceremony for the couple's wedding is being hosted by broadcaster Lee Sang-min, and the performances are being provided by singers Gummy and Byun Jin-seob, who respectively blessed the bride and groom with romantic stages. In particular, the serious image of Kim Jun-ho and the cheerful look of Kim Ji-min in the wedding photos have evoked reactions of being 'the model for a real couple.'
An interesting point is that the lineup for the performances was essentially finalized even before the wedding date was confirmed. Kim Jun-ho expressed his thoughts on the performances on the SBS variety show 'My Little Old Boy,' where he was seen consulting with the 'queen of wedding performances' Jo Hye-ryeon directly. At that time, Kim Jun-ho noted, 'Gummy and Seven have also agreed to perform. However, the finale is always Jo Hye-ryeon,' expressing his anticipation.
However, Jo Hye-ryeon reacted with surprise, saying, 'Then what will I be?' In fact, Jo Hye-ryeon has garnered attention with her performances at weddings for various stars, including Son Heon-soo, Um Gi-joon, and the couple Park Soo-hong and Kim Da-ye. Recently, she revealed, 'Um Gi-joon personally asked me to sing at his wedding. The first time was at (Lee Kyung-kyu's daughter) Ye-rim's wedding,' showcasing her expertise as a performer.
However, Jo Hye-ryeon's name was ultimately missing from Kim Jun-ho and Kim Ji-min's wedding. She expressed her regret, stating, 'It was written in the article about Kim Jun-ho's wedding that I would sing, but I couldn't attend due to overseas performance schedules.' Nevertheless, she still humorously highlighted her active 'performance activities,' mentioning, 'I had attended a wedding of a cat YouTuber to congratulate them.'
In place of 'queen of wedding performances' Jo Hye-ryeon, emotional vocalists Gummy and Byun Jin-seob took responsibility for the main stage and warmly colored the ceremony. The wedding of the representative couple in the comedy world will remain an unforgettable moment where delightful energy and emotion coexist.
