Comedian Park Na-rae was rumored to be estranged from her close friend Kim Ji-min after not attending both Kim's wedding photo shoot and the wedding itself, but this has been confirmed to be unfounded.
Kim Jun-ho and Kim Ji-min held a private wedding on the 13th at a luxury hotel in Gangnam, Seoul, with over 1,200 guests in attendance. While it was a glamorous wedding for a representative couple in the comedy scene, the absence of Kim Ji-min's close friend Park Na-rae led to curiosity and speculation among some fans regarding the 'reason for her absence.'
Earlier, Park Na-rae was unable to attend Kim Ji-min's wedding photo shoot. At that time, Park Na-rae suffered the loss of her bag, which had been prepared as a prop for the wedding shoot, and it happened to be on the day of the shoot. Park Na-rae was forced to miss the event in shock, which added to the disappointment of not being able to share the experience with Ji-min. Comedian Kwon Jae-kwan noted, 'On that day, Na-rae was a victim of theft,' hinting at the severity of the situation.
At the wedding, Park Na-rae ultimately did not attend. The recipient of the bouquet thrown by Kim Ji-min was Han Yoon-seo, a fellow comedian and member of the same agency. Han Yoon-seo said, 'I waved my hands to refuse it, but eventually ended up taking it for a photo.' She added, 'I don't have any wedding plans, but since no one else received it, I ended up receiving it. They say if you don't go within six months, you can never go, so… I hope it is a superstition.'
Due to Park Na-rae's successive absences, some speculated there might be discord between the two, but this was not the case. Park Na-rae's side stated, 'It was difficult to attend due to personal circumstances, and we asked for understanding from Kim Ji-min and Kim Jun-ho in advance, conveying our gratitude via a congratulatory gift.' They added, 'The reason for her absence is personal, so it is difficult to specify.'
Kim Ji-min also showed an understanding of Park Na-rae's busy schedule and situation during broadcasts, thereby proving that there is no issue between the two.
Meanwhile, Kim Jun-ho and Kim Ji-min started their public relationship in 2022 and tied the knot after three years. The wedding was attended by numerous figures from the broadcasting industry, including Yoo Jae-suk, Lee Young-ja, Jang Young-ran, Lee Su-geun, Song Eun-yi, Kim Jun-hyeon, Shin Bong-seon, and Ahn Young-mi, who blessed the couple's future.
