Formerly paired on 'We Got Married,' Ham Eun-jung and Lee Jang-woo each held wedding ceremonies on the last day of November, and both have drawn attention by making the common choice to postpone their honeymoons. OSEN reporting shows this was not coincidence but a decision made considering their busy individual schedules.
Moreover, recently married Kim Jong-min and Kim Jong-kook also postponed their honeymoons for similar reasons, demonstrating a professional attitude of "work first," which has attracted interest.
#. Ham Eun-jung postpones honeymoon immediately after wedding
Ham Eun-jung, who married on the 30th, held a private ceremony at a Seoul hotel that day and immediately began preparing for filming instead of taking a honeymoon. MBC's new daily drama "The First Man" is set to premiere Dec. 15.
Director Kim Byung-woo's Netflix film "The Great Flood" is also set to be released Dec. 19, leading to reactions that this could be a reason for postponing the honeymoon. OSEN reporting on the 30th found that after holding a private wedding at a Seoul hotel that day, Ham Eun-jung and director Kim Byung-woo decided to put honeymoon plans on hold for the time being. Instead of the typical honeymoon immediately after the wedding, the two chose to focus on their respective busy schedules.
The couple are both scheduled to make year-end comebacks and public appearances, so after the ceremony they will go straight into "work mode."
#. Lee Jang-woo, who married last week... "honeymoon after the first half of next year"
The Lee Jang-woo–Jo Hye-won couple, who held their wedding on the 23rd, also decided to postpone their honeymoon and spend their newlywed life domestically through the end of the year. Lee Jang-woo has a busy schedule planned with variety shows, drama appearances and other entertainment activities, and the wedding coincided with a busy period that saw the entire "Palm You family," including Jun Hyun-moo, Park Na-rae and Kian84, turn out en masse.
According to OSEN reporting, the Lee Jang-woo–Jo Hye-won couple decided to handle schedules in Korea and live at their newlywed home through the end of this year after the wedding. The honeymoon is planned for the first half of next year or later. In effect, they returned to work immediately after a special wedding.
#. Kim Jong-min, who married in April... "we left late because we were coordinating the honeymoon schedule"
In fact, there are quite a few stars who postponed their honeymoons. Kim Jong-min, who married last April, also could not immediately leave for his honeymoon because of the variety show "2 Days & 1 Night."
About the belated honeymoon, he said, "It was the longest vacation of my life. I was away for nearly 20 days and it was great," while also sharing a bittersweet anecdote, laughing, "I could understand why people say couples fight on honeymoons."
#. Kim Jong-kook, who married on Sept. 5... activities come first
Singer Kim Jong-kook also postponed his honeymoon after marrying on Sept. 5 and focused on his broadcasting schedule. According to OSEN reporting, a representative for Kim Jong-kook said, "At the moment, we are not in a position to take a honeymoon. We have no choice but to prioritize the scheduled broadcasts."
While Kim Jong-kook was absent due to the "absence of a honeymoon," Jun Hyun-moo appeared as a substitute on "Running Man."
Ham Eun-jung, Lee Jang-woo, Kim Jong-min and Kim Jong-kook: although at different times and for different reasons, all four chose "work" over their honeymoons. Netizens have continued to send supportive and positive reactions such as "They're too professional," "Congratulations on the marriages, but it's admirable they prioritize their careers," "You can always go on a honeymoon; timing is everything for work," and "Their sense of responsibility is impressive."
Even amid busy schedules, their professionalism, which does not compromise diligence, stands out.
