Travel creator and broadcaster KwakTube (real name Kwak Jun-bin) released a vlog of his wedding, giving fans both tears and laughter. But he ultimately did not reveal the bride's face, intensifying internet users' curiosity.
On the 20th, a video titled "my unbelievable wedding vlog" was uploaded to KwakTube's YouTube channel. The video entirely captured KwakTube's busy schedule starting the day before the wedding. He showed the realistic image of a groom-to-be, saying, "There is so much to do the day before the wedding. I have to pick up my parents' hanbok and check the bride's dress."
When the main ceremony began, emcee Jun Hyun-moo livened the mood, saying, "Our groom, who succeeded in losing a whopping 14 kg, make a proud entrance!" and KwakTube entered choking up as if overcome with emotion. In the marriage vows, he said, "I will be with my wife for life so that she is always respected and loved," and a scene of him wiping away tears moved fans' hearts.
At the wedding that day, BTS Jin, actors Ryu Hyun-kyung, Ahn Bo-hyun, Kang Ki-young, Lee Joon, Joo Woo-jae, and YouTubers PaniBottle, Czechje, Chimchakman, and Poongja, among other glamorous guests, all attended. In his congratulatory speech, PaniBottle said, "Kwak Jun-bin was a friend who never lost his smile even in hard times. I am really proud of today's result," expressing warm friendship. After the wedding, KwakTube laughed, saying, "I was really surprised while counting the cash gifts. There was someone who gave the most; it was an amount I never imagined," and added, "I left this as a vlog for fans who wanted to come to the wedding but couldn't."
