On April 20, Kim Jong-min·Ailee·Shim Hyun-seop held weddings on the same day, and about seven months later on Nov. 30, once again Ham Eun-jung·Yoon Jung-soo·Park Jin-joo sounded the wedding march on the same day.
Among internet users, reactions continued, saying, "Is there a specific day that is good for getting married?" and "There seems to be an unusually large wedding rush this year."
#. April 20 'wedding trio'… Kim Jong-min·Ailee·Shim Hyun-seop
On April 20, the entertainment industry witnessed the rare sight of three couples holding weddings simultaneously in one day.
First, Kim Jong-min held a private wedding at the Shilla Hotel guesthouse in Seoul with a bride 11 years his junior. The congratulatory singers were Lee Juck and Lyn, and the masters of ceremonies were Yoo Jae-seok (first part), Moon Se-yoon and Cho Sae-ho (second part), showing grand camaraderie. After the wedding, Kim Jong-min departed for a honeymoon in southern France.
Ailee married businessman Choi Si-hoon. The masters of ceremonies were Pisik University, and the congratulatory singers were Baek Ji-young·Lee Mu-jin·Mighty Mouth, making it a "vocal powerhouses" wedding.
Shim Hyun-seop held a quiet wedding with a bride 11 years his junior. Although there were concerns about holding a wedding at the same time as the two top stars that day, the ceremony concluded successfully.
That day, hundreds of guests divided and moved among the three venues, leading to comments such as "even the guests' movements alone made it a major entertainment industry event."
#. Seven months later, again the 'Nov. 30 three-wedding day'
And on Nov. 30, three weddings again clustered on the same day, bringing a second "wedding frenzy" to the entertainment industry.
First, Ham Eun-jung♥director Kim Byung-woo. Former T-ara member and actress Ham Eun-jung quietly sounded the wedding march with film director Kim Byung-woo at a hotel in downtown Seoul. Ham Eun-jung tearfully said the reason for deciding to marry was, "After sending my mother off, I wanted to build a warm family."
In particular, when footage was released showing her getting choked up while singing a congratulatory song at the wedding, reactions followed saying, "I thought of my mother's empty seat and felt even more heavyhearted."
Instead of going on a honeymoon immediately, the two will focus on their respective projects. Ham Eun-jung is set to premiere MBC's new daily drama "The First Man" on Dec. 1, and director Kim Byung-woo's Netflix "The Great Flood" is scheduled for release on Dec. 19.
Yoon Jung-soo♥Won Ja-hyun also held a wedding. Comedian Yoon Jung-soo married Won Ja-hyun (Won Jin-seo), a former reporter who now works as a pilates instructor. The two are already legally married after registering their marriage, and their wedding preparations were naturally revealed through "The Lover of Joseon," earning much support.
The wedding masters of ceremonies were Nam Chang-hee and former "virtual wife" Kim Sook, who attended out of loyalty and drew attention. KCM performed the congratulatory song. Yoon Jung-soo said, "The sense of responsibility is greater than the excitement," expressing a solemn feeling about the new start.
Park Jin-joo♥non-celebrity groom also held a lovely small wedding. Actress Park Jin-joo held a private wedding with her non-celebrity fiancé at a location in Seoul. In the released wedding photos, her pure white dress and simple updo highlighted Park Jin-joo's distinctive lovely charm.
Even immediately after the wedding, she will meet audiences as the lead Claire in the musical "Maybe Happy Ending" 10th anniversary performance through January.
