On October 11, 2025, the Korean entertainment world saw an unusual surge of weddings — five couples across the industry exchanged vows in a single day. The flurry of nuptials has drawn attention not only for its scale, but also for the curious timing behind it.
Among the couples were:
- Broadcast producer KUSH and Vivienne (the cousin of Girls’ Generation’s Yuri),
- YouTuber KwakTube (Kwak Joon-bin),
- Belgian-born TV personality Julien Quintart,
- Actor Jo Wan-gi
- PD Lee Hong-hee and film director Jo Young-myung.
🎉 Highlights from the Day
- KwakTube married his non-celebrity partner (younger by 5 years) at a Seoul hotel. Ahead of the wedding, he revealed that his fiancée was pregnant, making the ceremony a symbolic union of their “three-member family.” Among the many guests were BTS’s Jin, webtoon writers, entertainers, and prominent industry figures.
- KUSH and Vivienne tied the knot after nearly a decade of public dating. The wedding drew heavy interest from YG/Black Label circles: Taeyang sang at the ceremony, Daesung served as MC, and G‑Dragon appeared as a guest.
- Julien Quintart wed in a private ceremony to his Korean partner, with Kim Sook and Daniel Lindemann hosting as MCs.
- Jo Wan-gi held a quiet ceremony with family and close friends, sharing video snippets afterward on his social media.
- Lee Hong-hee PD and Jo Young-myung director also celebrated their union at the Shilla Hotel in Jung-gu, Seoul. The guest list included big names from both the entertainment and film industries, and performances by Lee Seung-gi, Heo Gak, and Kim Yong-jun.
🗓 Why October 11?
The primary explanation lies in Korean lunar-calendar traditions: dates ending in 9 or 0 are considered “son eobsneun nal” (손 없는 날) — days when evil spirits are said to rest, making them auspicious for weddings, moving homes, or business openings.
October also happens to be a wedding high season, especially on weekends. As October 11 this year fell on a weekend and matched a favorable lunar calendar day (lunar 8/20), it became a prime date—leading to multiple bookings on the same day.
Final Thoughts
The convergence of five celebrity weddings on October 11 is not purely coincidental — it reflects cultural beliefs, scheduling logistics, and the pressures of the wedding business in Korea. But for fans and media alike, the spectacle of so many stars committing matrimony at once was a rare sight to behold.
If you’d like, I can also prepare a timeline visual, or compare how this day stacked up against previous celebrity wedding clusters. Do you want me to make that?
