On Nov. 30, the last day of November, three couples in the entertainment industry became married, proving it was an auspicious day. In particular, in November, several other stars also joined the ranks of the newly married, drawing attention.
The first person to hold a wedding was Choi Nak-ta. Choi Nak-ta held a wedding with a non-celebrity woman on Nov. 1 at a wedding hall in Gangnam, Seoul.
Choi Nak-ta posted on his account "I am getting married. I apologize for not contacting you. I will repay you in the future" along with releasing some wedding pictorial photos to announce the marriage. In particular, Choi Nak-ta is also the son of Choi Jae-sung, a former lawmaker who served as senior secretary for political affairs to President Moon Jae-in.
Following Choi Nak-ta, Kim Ok-bin held a wedding with a non-celebrity man on the 16th of last month. The wedding was held privately, inviting only close relatives from both families and close friends. The agency said, "We ask for your understanding that we cannot disclose specific details such as the exact location and time out of consideration for the non-celebrity groom and both families."
Actors Lee Jang-woo and Jo Hye-won, who had been in a long-term relationship for more than seven years, were married on the 23rd of last month. The two held their ceremony at Lotte Hotel World in Jamsil, Songpa-gu, Seoul, and they first became close while working together on the 2018 KBS2 drama "Beautiful My Love."
The two used "hodu-gwaja" as wedding favors for guests and also as the bouquet for wedding photo shoots. The hodu-gwaja that Lee Jang-woo co-planned with food content company FG and serves as a promotional model for was recently selected as the official dessert of the 2025 APEC (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation).
The brand said, "Walnuts, which have long been used as ingredients served to honored guests, carry the meaning of prosperity for descendants and the flourishing of the family in wedding food."
Some stars held weddings not in Korea but overseas. Actors On Juwan and Min-ah held a ceremony in Bali on the 29th of last month, inviting only family. Members of Girls' Day, the group Min-ah belongs to, were not invited.
On Juwan and Bang Min-Ah first met on the 2016 SBS drama "Beautiful Gong Shim." They became closer after appearing together in the 2021 musical "Those Days," developed into a couple and ultimately tied the knot.
On the last day of November, as many as three couples held wedding ceremonies. First, T-ara's Ham Eun-jeong married director Kim Byung-woo, who is eight years her senior. Director Kim Byung-woo directed films such as "The Terror Live" and "Omniscient Reader: The Prophet," and he also directed the Netflix film "Great Flood," which is scheduled to be released on the 19th.
They met through a circle of acquaintances in the film industry and continued their relationship, which culminated in marriage. T-ara members Ji-yeon, Hyomin, Qri and Boram attended their wedding, and Ha Jung-woo gave the congratulatory speech. For the celebratory song, Eun-jeong herself passionately sang Lee Sun-hee's "Among Them I Met You."
Actor Park Jin-joo also held a wedding that day with a non-celebrity spouse with whom she had built deep trust over a long period. The agency said, "The wedding will be held privately at a location in Seoul with family from both sides and close acquaintances. As the prospective spouse is a non-celebrity, we ask for your understanding that the ceremony will be held quietly."
Fifty-three-year-old Yun Jeong-su finally escaped bachelorhood. Yun Jeong-su held a private wedding with Won Jin-seo, who is 11 years younger, at a hotel in Gangnam, Seoul, on the 30th of last month. The wedding's hosts were comedian Nam Chang-hee, a close friend of Yun Jeong-su, and broadcaster Kim Sook, who performed as a mock couple with him, and the celebratory songs were performed by Lee Mu-jin, Bae Gi-seong and Cool's Lee Jae-hoon.
Attention also focused on Yun Jeong-su's bride; Won Jin-seo previously worked as an MBC sports reporter and drew attention at the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games, earning the nickname "Guangzhou goddess." The two had known each other as acquaintances for a long time, became a couple earlier this year and sealed their vows through marriage.
