Former T-ara member and actress Ham Eun-jung was seen choking up while singing the congratulatory song herself on her wedding day, delivering a poignant moment to many.
On the 30th, prominent stylist Kim Woo-ri posted photos and videos from the wedding of Ham Eun-jung and director Kim Byung-woo on her social media, saying "Eun-jung is finally going" and expressing deep emotion. Having watched Ham Eun-jung for a long time, Kim Woo-ri said, "It feels like yesterday she was on stage shaking with Ppoppi gloves on… Eun-jung, be happy," offering affectionate support.
The released video shows Ham Eun-jung singing Lee Sun-hee's "Among them, I met you" and becoming overwhelmed with emotion, unable to continue the song at one point. When guests comforted her saying, "Don't cry!" she wiped her eyes and resumed singing. After finishing the congratulatory song, she went down to the audience and gave individual thanks, conveying the bride's sincerity.
Meanwhile, the background to Ham Eun-jung's decision to marry is drawing renewed attention. The reason her tears resonate more deeply is that she recently mentioned her mother's death in an interview as the catalyst for deciding to marry.
In a recent interview, she confessed, "After seeing off my mother, who I thought would be by my side forever, I intensely felt the desire to build a warm family like my mother." She also admitted the moment her life priorities changed, saying, "I thought work was everything, but that was a childish way of thinking." On social media she said, "The void without my mother was too large. That's why I wanted to create an even warmer family."
About her prospective husband, director Kim Byung-woo, she revealed deep trust, calling him "someone who understands and respects my work more than anyone and endured difficult moments with me."
What lingers so strongly about her choking up while singing the wedding congratulatory song is that it was not simply tears of emotion but feelings mixed with longing for her mother and determination for a new start. Netizens offered congratulations with reactions such as, "She must have been more moved thinking of her mother," "I didn't know cheerful Ham Eun-jung was such a deep person," "I sincerely hope she builds a warm family," and "Even her tears are beautiful. May her life now be full of happiness."
