The late Choi Jin-sil's daughter Choi Jun-hee released a photo that ended long-running rumors of a rift with her maternal grandmother.
On the 16th, Jun-hee married a non-celebrity man 11 years her senior at a hotel in Gangnam, Seoul.
Having lost weight for the wedding and wearing a wedding dress at 41kg, Jun-hee opened the second chapter of her life amid congratulations and support from "aunts" including Lee Young-ja, Hong Jin Kyung, Kim Won-hee, Lee Sora and Uhm Jung-hwa and "uncles" including Baekga.
Although the wedding concluded glamorously, afterward some videos and photos sparked gossip. In particular, there was discussion over an aunt-grandmother wearing the bride's hanbok instead of the maternal grandmother and over the lighting of the ceremonial candle.
Some netizens reacted, saying, "I understand that the aunt-grandmother wore the hanbok and performed the candle lighting because she raised Jun-hee since she was young and is very attached, but the video is hard to understand."
Jun-hee also released a video showing the aunt-grandmother and the maternal grandmother meeting and greeting each other, but speculation among some netizens grew, prompting the aunt-grandmother to appear and say, "There are reasons. How can I go into family matters one by one?"
The aunt-grandmother explained, "The maternal grandmother's hanbok was chosen by Park Sul-nyeo hanbok," and said, "It was decided at a family meeting. It has been decided this way for a long time," explaining that it was decided after family discussion. She also urged, "Although you may not know the family's circumstances, if you are a proper adult you should help the maternal grandmother get along well," and then said, "We are getting along well," dismissing the previously raised rumors of a rift.
Despite the rumors that surfaced even though the maternal grandmother attended the wedding, Jun-hee left on her honeymoon and has been enjoying it while working in between, sharing official photos and carrying on the afterglow of the wedding.
Meanwhile, Jun-hee shared a photo showing her tightly embracing her maternal grandmother, conveying a touching moment. Without further comment, Jun-hee ended the long-standing rumors with that single photo. She also posted a video containing the phrase "What is a mother?" that stirred emotion.
