The wedding of Son Ye Jin and Hyun Bin will be held at the Aston House of ​​the Sheraton Grand Waterhill hotel, located in Gwangjin district, Seoul. This is one of the most luxurious wedding venues in Korea, with a rental price of up to $16,000 and was chosen by a series of Kbiz power couples to hold their wedding like Ji Sung – Park Bo Young, Bae Yong Joon – Park Soo Jin…

A few days ago, people couldn’t help but admire the dreamlike decoration of the couple’s wedding ceremony. The luxurious outdoor space is decorated with lots of fresh flowers. The aisle is based on the mountain and looks out to the Han River.

The entire cost from the venue, decoration and other services of the super wedding take approximately $190,000. And worth mentioning, the couple’s cost per guest is up to $500-$600.

The initial figure of $190,000 surprised many people because it was quite modest compared to the public’s expectations for the wedding of two Korean A-list superstars. However, after considering, many netizens thought that the amount of nearly $200,000 is still not small compared to a cozy wedding with only 200 guests.
