Actor the late Choi Jin-sil's daughter Choi Jun-hee will tie the knot with the support of dependable "aunts."
Choi Jun-hee will hold her wedding today (16) at a hotel in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, with a company employee 11 years her senior.
Earlier, Choi Jun-hee announced in February that she would marry her boyfriend, who is 11 years older, in May. Given that Choi Jun-hee was born in 2003 and is young, various concerned views poured in, including suspicions about dating as a minor, but Choi Jun-hee posted directly and said she was honestly very upset to see sensational articles that made it seem as if she had given an exclusive interview, with everyone portraying the dating periods as completely different.
Along with this, she said, I have always found family to be a difficult word, haven't I? After a childhood filled only with sadness, I long promised myself I would one day create a warm shelter. Now I will try to live a firmer and warmer life not as someone's daughter but as a wife and as my own new family to be built, and she added, My heart wavered briefly because of this matter, but in the end I chose love and decided to be happy. I will tend to my future more warmly myself, she announced her marriage directly.
Since then, Choi Jun-hee has steadily shown affection for her fiancé. Two weeks before the wedding, she expressed steadfast love, saying, Is there a fairy tale where the age of the princess and prince is more important than the perfect glass slipper or the kiss that wakes you from sleep? What matters in love is simply love, so I will take this prince who is full of heart after 11 tries.
Two days before the wedding, she also posted a long message alongside wedding photos. She said, The 11-year age gap separated many scenes more than I thought, but maybe the gaze of someone who endured a long winter and the heart of someone who learned too early not to rely on others were similar. People still ask my brother why it had to be that person. Then he answers that he is someone who has been sick for a long time. Someone who does not love recklessly after passing lonely times. Someone who knows how pain hardens a person. So he cherishes surviving each day and that is why he loves, conveying the deep feelings her fiancé has for her.
She added, My brother held my hand and said it might be far and the end might not be visible, but he said he would carry me on his back and run, so let's start together — he was a person to whom I am grateful. As you live, some people brush past you, some shake you and leave, but this person was the first to know how to stay by my side. So this Saturday we are getting married to bind this person for life, explaining why she decided to marry.
The groom-to-be also posted, saying, The times we laughed and cried together have piled up, and finally I am getting married. I couldn't greet everyone personally amid the busy preparations, but I offer my heartfelt thanks for every step taken with us. Thank you to everyone who congratulated us; we will lean on each other and live well!, and Tomorrow we will return as one in an even more handsome form, he shared his feelings about the wedding.
Ahead of the wedding, Choi Jun-hee expressed poignant feelings toward her deceased parents, drawing sympathy. Watching the video of her first birthday event featuring the late Choi Jin-sil, she said she was amazed and moved that the people who were there then are now waiting for her wedding, but she honestly conveyed the deep longing that the saddest fact was that only her mother and father were absent from all those places.
But that void left by the late Choi Jin-sil will be filled by Choi Jun-hee's family and dependable "aunts." Over time, Choi Jun-hee maintained relationships by meeting consistently with Choi Jin-sil's close friends such as Hong Jin Kyung and Uhm Jung-hwa. They, too, as grown adults, had paid careful attention and shown affection to the siblings who lost their parents early, Choi Hwan-hee and Choi Jun-hee. In this context, fashion designer Shin Jang-kyung congratulated Choi Jun-hee on her marriage and cheered, saying Hong Jin Kyung, Lee Young-ja, Lee Sora, Uhm Jung-hwa and other aunts are expected to make a large appearance.
Meanwhile, Choi Hwan-hee, Choi Jun-hee's elder brother and an active rapper, edited the BGM for his sister's wedding himself and will sit in the host seat to bless his sister's future.
After the wedding, Choi Jun-hee is scheduled to go on her honeymoon to Los Angeles, U.S.
