Amid news of the marriage of broadcaster the late Choi Jin-sil's daughter Choi Jun-hee, Hong Jin Kyung directly addressed the 'permission' controversy, adding warmth.
Choi Jun-hee is scheduled to hold a wedding on May 16 at a hotel in Gangnam, Seoul, with a non-celebrity office worker who is 11 years her senior and with whom she has been dating for five years. The groom-to-be is known as a steady presence who quietly stood by her during difficult times and is receiving many congratulations.
With the marriage news, their past meeting with Hong Jin Kyung was reexamined, and online speculation continued that "didn't she get permission from her aunt?" because Hong Jin Kyung was a close friend of the late Choi Jin-sil and had cared for the two siblings like her own nephews and nieces.
On the 16th, Hong Jin Kyung drew a line on the matter via SNS, saying, "Permission for the marriage? What qualification do I have?" She then sincerely offered congratulations, saying, "I only wish you a happy life. Jun-hee, congratulations on your marriage."
Earlier, Hong Jin Kyung warmly met with Choi Jun-hee and the groom-to-be and supported them, but she made clear that the decision is entirely the couple's choice. Netizens have reacted positively, saying things like, "a truly adult attitude," "it's cool to respect and congratulate at the same time," and "you can feel her affection for Jun-hee."
Along with Hong Jin Kyung's heartfelt congratulations after standing by them like family for a long time, support continues to pour in for Choi Jun-hee as she prepares for a new start.
