An anecdote was revealed that actor Lee Seo-jin left a wedding later than the bride.
On the 24th, the YouTube channel 'Channel Fifteen' held a live program titled 'Different from others, Lee SeoGenie's counseling room.'
That day, one storyteller said a friend contacted them after seven years and sent a mobile wedding invitation, and they were troubled whether to attend the wedding or just send money as a gift. The storyteller was also worried about the amount of the monetary gift.
Hearing the story, Lee Seo-jin said, "Calling after seven years just to send a wedding invitation... If that friend were me, I wouldn't go to the wedding and I would cut off contact with that friend. Why bother congratulating them? None of that is necessary—just cut off contact. Don't go to the wedding either," he said bluntly.
Lee Seo-jin continued, "A friend who didn't keep in touch... If you haven't contacted or met for about seven years, you should meet in person to give it, or at least do it in person—what kind of friend is this if you send a mobile invitation? You don't need to go to things like this," adding, "If it's been a while, it's polite to meet and at least have a meal while saying you're getting married. I hate it when they just send a mobile invitation. You don't even need to look at it. Anyway, even if you give money now, the relationship won't last long. They won't keep in touch afterward," he said directly.
Then Na Young-seok opened by saying, "This person is extreme, but I think they also had similar concerns," and Lee Seo-jin replied, "I didn't worry. I don't have many people to invite. I don't have many friends, so they're calling to get money from here and there. You don't need to go to things like this, and then you won't meet the two afterward. And if the friend who gave money calls at their own wedding, that person won't come," he candidly expressed.
Na Young-seok also added, "Actually, it's just a difference in expression; I agree with that part. If it's something you're worrying about, then just (don't go)."
Lee Seo-jin said, "If I don't go, I would never just send money. I don't do just sending money. If you go, then you pay; not going and just sending money is a wrong custom, a wrong culture. If you're not going, why send money? You pay the money when you go to congratulate them; sending money without going is not a celebration. Give it in person later when you meet. Only at that level of closeness would I go to a wedding."
Writer Kim Dae-joo said, "Hyungnim would sometimes, when seen at a wedding, do everything including the meal and stay until the end before going home," mentioning an anecdote about Lee Seo-jin's wedding.
Then Na Young-seok chided, "Go quickly. Why are you drinking so much there? At Yesul's wedding, she eventually changed into everyday clothes and went home. She wore the wedding dress, the greeting dress, greeted people and said 'I'll go ahead' and left. How can you sit until the end?" Lee Seo-jin explained, "The working lady said the alcohol is unlimited and told me to drink and go," which drew laughter.
