Broadcaster Kim Jong-min, singer Ailee, and comedian Sim Hyun-seop are all getting married on the same day.
Kim Jong-min will light the wedding candles with his 11-year younger girlfriend on the 20th. The first part of Kim Jong-min's wedding will be hosted by Yoo Jae-suk, and the second part will be hosted by Moon Se-yoon and Jo Se-ho. It is reported that singers Lee Jeok and Lyn will perform congratulatory songs. The honeymoon destination is said to be France.
Born in 1979, Kim Jong-min is a versatile entertainer who has been active in the entertainment industry for a long time. He debuted in the music industry in October 2000 as a member of the group Koyote, having previously been a backup dancer for singer Um Jung-hwa.
Since then, Kim Jong-min has not only been a singer but has also been active in the entertainment scene with his somewhat clumsy comedic character. He is particularly known as a founding member of KBS's representative entertainment program '1 Night 2 Days,' where he continues to appear. Additionally, Kim Jong-min has participated in several programs centered around singles dreaming of marriage, such as 'My Ugly Duckling' (SBS) and 'Groom Class' (Channel A), expressing his desire for marriage.
As a well-known social butterfly in the entertainment industry, many fellow celebrities are expected to attend Kim Jong-min's wedding.
Ailee will also hold her wedding on the same day with her boyfriend, personal businessman Choi Si-hoon. Ailee was born in 1989, and Choi Si-hoon was born in 1992, making them an older-younger couple. Choi Si-hoon, who is a former actor, gained recognition through the Netflix entertainment program 'Solo Hell' and is currently focusing on his personal business.
Ailee announced her marriage news through her fan cafe, stating, "I have grown into who I am today, full of brightness and energy, thanks to your support, and I have decided to marry someone with whom I can share all this love. I have met a grateful and reliable person who has offered me his shoulder to lean on, and his understanding and consideration made me think that I want to be with him for a lifetime."
Before the wedding, rumors circulated that Choi Si-hoon had a background in nightlife establishments. In response, Ailee appeared on a broadcast program and said, "If you hadn't met me, you wouldn't have had to live so hard, worrying about what others think, and I'm so sorry for that," and added, "Nevertheless, I'm grateful that you chose me," shedding tears. This revealed their special affection for each other.
Sim Hyun-seop, a representative late-blooming bachelor in the entertainment industry, born in 1970, is also joining the ranks of married men. He met English academy instructor Jeong Young-rim, a regular person, through the TV Chosun entertainment program 'The Love Fool of Joseon' and is getting married.
The two shared their sweet yet thrilling moments through the broadcast, receiving support from viewers. Eventually, Sim Hyun-seop received approval for marriage from Jeong Young-rim's family and became a groom-to-be. The two have an 11-year age difference.
Sim Hyun-seop debuted as a comedian through SBS in 1994. He reached his peak in 1999 with KBS 2TV's 'Gag Concert' through segments like 'Bongsunga Academy' and 'Morning of Savannah.' He moved to SBS in 2003 and also made appearances in shows like 'People Who Find Laughter.'
