Group 2PM member and actor Ok Taecyeon held a private wedding and opened the second chapter of his life, but he is suffering because of Chinese tourists and overzealous fans.
Ok Taecyeon held his wedding on the 24th at the Shilla Hotel's state banquet hall in Jung-gu, Seoul, with a non-celebrity bride four years his junior.
Ok Taecyeon held the wedding privately out of consideration for the bride being a non-celebrity, inviting family, relatives and close acquaintances from both sides. The ceremony was hosted by 2PM's first married man Hwang Chansung, and 2PM members sang congratulatory songs to celebrate Ok Taecyeon, the group's second married man, starting the second chapter of his life.
Ok Taecyeon revealed in 2020 that he was dating a non-celebrity girlfriend, and last February a scene was captured in Paris, France, where he knelt and offered a ring. Nine months later, in November last year, he announced his marriage, saying, "I promised to spend my life with one person who has believed in me for a long time. We will be strong supports for each other and walk through life together."
Although Ok Taecyeon, who put an end to a 10-year relationship and began the second chapter of his life, had intended to keep the wedding private, he is suffering now that the bride's face and the wedding, which were supposed to be private, have been revealed. The ones who breached the private wedding were none other than foreign tourists staying at the hotel where the wedding took place and overzealous fans.
Photos taken from hotel rooms showing the scene of Ok Taecyeon's wedding have quickly spread through online communities and social media. Although it was explained that a guest happened to have taken and uploaded them, suspicions grew because the bride's face and the wedding proceedings were captured relatively clearly in the process.
The Shilla Hotel's state banquet hall, where the wedding was held, is a place where the beauty of traditional Korean aesthetics and modern sophistication naturally blend, and it drew attention when Jang Dongkeon and Go So-young, Yu Jae-seok and Na Kyung-eun, Kwon Sang-woo and Son Tae-young, Jun Ji-hyun, Yoon Kye Sang and others held weddings there, but because it is outdoors there is an inherent downside that it can be exposed.
Although Ok Taecyeon held a private wedding out of consideration for the bride, he is suffering as wedding photos were made public by some hotel guests and overzealous fans. In particular, the bride's face being revealed, as she is a private citizen, raises concerns about portrait rights and invasion of privacy.
Meanwhile, after the wedding Ok Taecyeon did not go on a honeymoon but watched the film Salmokji in which actor Kim Hyeyoon, who worked with him on the tvN drama Royal Secret Inspector Joy, appeared.
