With “Kim Tan” at Park Shin-hye and Choi Tae-jun’s wedding, will Gil Ra-im be invited to Son Ye-jin and Hyun Bin’s wedding?
“Couple of the Century” Son Ye-jin and Hyun Bin will have their wedding at the end of this month. Attention is also focusing on who will attend the wedding of these two top Hallyu stars.
Son Ye-jin and Hyun Bin announced their marriage directly through their respective SNS accounts in February. The two acted together as the main characters of the 2018 movie “Negotiation.” In 2019, a photo of the two going shopping together at a supermarket in the U.S was released through an online community, sparking rumors of a romantic relationship between them, but both sides denied it.
Afterward, they reunited in the drama “Crash Landing on You.” After photos of them dating were reported in early 2021, the two finally admitted their relationship. As Switzerland was the place of the fateful meeting between Son Ye-jin and Hyun Bin in “Crash Landing on You,” the Swiss Embassy in Korea also celebrated their marriage through its official SNS account.
At the production presentation of the drama “Thirty, Nine” last month, Son Ye-jin said amid the heated celebration, “Something extremely big happened to me in early 2022 both as an actress and a person. It’s like fate,” she said. “I’ve received a lot of congratulation, and I’m grateful to take this opportunity.”
Son Ye-jin and Hyun Bin chose an outdoor wedding hall at a five-star hotel in Seoul, which Bae Yong-joon and Park Soo-jin also chose as their wedding hall in the past. The news that Son Ye-jin‘s mother bought a bride’s wedding present box worth 12 million won has also made headlines. Many sources have reported that the newlyweds’ house is likely to be a luxury villa in Guri, Gyeonggi Province, purchased by Hyun Bin, but Hyun Bin‘s agency said it was an “ungrounded rumor” only. As such, Son Ye-jin and Hyun Bin‘s marriage raises questions and excitement regarding their romance rumors, past filmography, newlywed house, wedding present box prices, and guests attending the wedding ceremony.
Earlier in January, the wedding of Choi Tae-joon and Park Shin-hye, the original Hallyu queen, also attracted a lot of attention. As Park Shin-hye led the Korean Wave overseas through dramas such as SBS’s “You’re Beautiful” in 2009 and “The Heirs” in 2013, the wedding guests reminded fans of an award ceremony. In particular, Park Shin-hye and her partners in the past dramas even got immersed in their drama worldview at the wedding, making headlines. Park Shin-hye invited Lee Min-ho, who worked as her partner in “The Heirs,” as his character “Kim Tan” in the drama. There was also a name card that said “Kim Tan” on Lee Min-ho‘s seat at the wedding hall. Lee Min-ho also parodied his famous line “Do I like you?” in the drama to leave a congratulatory message on his Instagram, saying “Do I congratulate you?”
Lee Hong-ki, who is close to Park Shin-hye, sang the wedding song. The wedding song Lee Hong-ki chose on that day is the OST he sang for “The Heirs”. Lee Hong-ki has also appeared in “You’re Beautiful” with Park Shin-hye where Lee Hong-ki’s character had a crush on Park Shin-hye’s. Park Shin-hye was congratulated by men who loved her in her dramas at her real wedding, intersecting the drama worldviews, giving netizens so many funny moments. In addition, numerous stars, including Ryu Jun-yeol, Nam Goong-min, Kim Bum, Lee Sun-bin, D.O., Zico, Seolhyun, Crush, and Oh Sang-jin, also attended her wedding.
As a result, this raised netizens’ curiosity about which star will appear as guests at the wedding of Son Ye-jin and Hyun Bin, another top star couple. Son Ye-jin and Hyun Bin officially worked together in “The Negotiation”, but the two had previously appeared in the same drama in 2010. Son Ye-jin made a special appearance as a top star actress in the last episode of “Secret Garden” starring Hyun Bin. Their destiny had already begun 10 years ago.
Among Hyun Bin’s works, fans recommended “Secret Garden” as a must-see drama and the best drama in the actor’s career. In this drama, Hyun Bin shook the viewers’ hearts by playing a second-generation chaebol character, who is arrogant but affectionate only with Gil Ra-im (Ha Ji-won). Appearing on KBS2’s “Entertainment Weekly” in 2018 to promote “The Negotiation”, Hyun Bin picked “Secret Garden” as the best work in his life. He shared, “It’s a work that wrapped up my 20s. I worked really hard on it and was able to meet many precious people”.
In addition, Hyun Bin worked with many other top stars, such as Kim Sun-ah in “My Lovely Sam Soon”, Sung Yu-ri in “The Snow Queen”, Park Shin-hye in “Memories of the Alhambra”, Lee Yeon-hee in the movie “A Millionaire’s First Love”, Im Yoon-ah in “Confidential Assignment”, etc. Son Ye-jin also met big names through her works, such as Lee Min-ho in “Personal Taste”, Jung Hae-in in “Something in the Rain”, Cho Seung-woo and Jo In-sung in the movie “The Classic”, Jung Woo-sung in “A Moment to Remember”, Kim Nam-gil in “The Pirates”, So Ji-sub in “Be With You”, etc. Therefore, fans are looking forward to seeing who among the two’s co-stars will attend their wedding.
Lee Dong-kook’s wife, Lee Soo-jin, recently posted on her Instagram Story, “The wedding invitation from Hyun Bin. I’m so jealous~”. She added, “Since this is the place where only actors are present. Dong-kook is worried about whether he could come. What are you worrying about!! If you’re so worried, I’ll go instead…”. She attached a photo of Lee Dong-kook looking at Son Ye-jin and Hyun-bin’s wedding invitation.
According to Sports Dong-a, actor Jang Dong-gun, Hyun Bin’s best friend, will give a congratulatory speech for the couple at their wedding. Edaily also reported on the wedding date of March 31st. However, Son Ye-jin and Hyun Bin, who are busy preparing for their wedding, only left a brief position, saying, “We cannot confirm anything”.
It is known that the wedding hall selected by the couple can only accommodate about 200 people. Son Ye-jin and Hyun Bin will hold a private wedding and invite close acquaintances only. Attention is focused on which top stars will appear as guests at the wedding of this “Couple of the century”.
