Actress the late Choi Jin-sil's daughter Choi Jun-hee showed off bride-like looks for May at her first public appearance since announcing her marriage.
Choi Jun-hee attended Fashion Code 2026 F/W held at Dongdaemun Design Plaza in Seoul on the 26th.
Fashion Code is Asia's largest fashion culture market held twice yearly since 2013, and this season emphasized scale-up to strengthen domestic designer brands' independence and support expansion into overseas markets.
At the official event, Choi Jun-hee perfectly pulled off a modern black pinstripe suit jacket. While creating a refined yet confident charisma, Choi Jun-hee matched flawless porcelain skin with natural brown-tone makeup to highlight a clear, innocent beauty. In particular, she captured attention with a relaxed attitude.
Choi Jun-hee's appearance at the official event drew attention because it was her first since announcing her marriage in February. In February, Choi Jun-hee announced she will marry a private individual 11 years her senior.
Choi Jun-hee introduced her fiancé as "a fiancé who leaves immediately from anywhere whenever I say I miss my mom. A man I'm so thankful and sorry to that it brings me to tears." According to a close associate of Choi Jun-hee, the fiancé is a warmer and more sincere person than anyone, and he quietly stayed by her side whenever she struggled with health issues and public scrutiny.
Some raised suspicions of a minor relationship over reports that Choi Jun-hee had been dating a fiancé 11 years her senior since five years ago. Speaking out amid numerous suspicions, Choi Jun-hee said, "The dating periods are all different, and honestly I was very upset seeing sensational articles that portrayed it as if I gave a solo interview," and added, "This matter shook me for a moment, but in the end I chose love and decided to be happy."
Meanwhile, Choi Jun-hee, who has battled the autoimmune disease lupus, gained weight up to 96kg due to steroid side effects but succeeded in reducing her weight to the 40kg range through diet and exercise.
