The long-term dating content of the YouTube channel 'ShortBox' culminated in a lavish wedding on April Fools' Day.
On the afternoon of the 1st, the wedding of Kim Won-hoon and Eom Ji-yoon was held at a wedding hall in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam District, Seoul.
The wedding of Kim Won-hoon and Eom Ji-yoon was announced on March 18. Kim Won-hoon revealed the wedding invitation, saying, "Hello. Won-hoon, Ji-yoon. From lovers to spouses, after carrying on 15 years of precious love and bearing its fruit, we will begin a new start on April 1, 2026."
After Kim Won-hoon married a non-celebrity he had dated for eight years in 2022, people who learned of his announced marriage to Eom Ji-yoon could not help but be surprised. But this was an April Fools' Day event, and it was also the spectacular finale of ShortBox's popular 'long-term dating couple' series.
ShortBox said, "The 15-year narrative of our 'long-term dating' series, which was our beginning and received the most passionate love, has finally borne fruit," adding, "So we plan to move this historic finale moment to a special offline stage in the form of an actual wedding. We respectfully invite subscribers who have cherished ShortBox to attend the site of that beautiful full stop as Won-hoon and Ji-yoon's 'real guests.'"
Metacomedy also explained, "This fan meeting marks the pinnacle of the charm of the 'long-term dating' series, the representative popular corner that has made ShortBox what it is today, and in that it is a special event to meet some of the subscribers who have accompanied the journey of this long-running, much-discussed content and express gratitude in person, it holds added significance."
When many people flooded applications to see the wedding of Kim Won-hoon and Eom Ji-yoon, the couple said, "We didn't expect so many people to apply. We are carefully reading each and every story you sent without missing any. We will take those feelings to heart and prepare something fun and meaningful."
Lee Soo-keun served as master of ceremonies at the April 1 wedding, while Yu Jae-seok, Shin Dong-yeob, and the group LE SSERAFIM sent congratulatory messages to celebrate the marriage of Kim Won-hoon and Eom Ji-yoon. In particular, Shin Dong-yeob said, "I don't know whether Ji-yoon is the second person Won-hoon knows and marries, but there is no one like someone like Ji-yoon, so you must make her truly happy and treat her well for the rest of your life."
Kim Won-hoon said, "In a past life I failed to save the country, so I met Eom Ji-yoon," and Eom Ji-yoon said, "In a past life I sold the country. So I met Kim Won-hoon," drawing laughter. Especially since that day was also the day actors Ryu Hwa-young and Lee Tae-ri announced their marriage, the two people's wedding drew significant attention.
