Ji Sang-ryeol organized a remind wedding event for his brother and sister-in-law.
In the KBS2 broadcast of ‘Salim Nam Season 2’ on the afternoon of the 31st, Ji Sang-ryeol invited stars for his brother and sister-in-law's remind wedding.
During the broadcast, Ji Sang-ryeol, who is living with his brother's family, joked about the tense family atmosphere, saying, “Our three brothers may seem stoic on the outside, but we are not like that inside. Not all Ji families from Chungju are like that.”
When his sister-in-law expressed her grievances, his brother said, “Stop it. You keep talking about that at the dinner table. Then go marry someone who expresses themselves well,” and went into the room.
A few days later, Ji Sang-ryeol visited a traditional wedding venue with Shin Ji. He said, “I came to scout for the wedding,” and shared his wedding plans. At that moment, Park Seo-jin and Kim Yong-myung arrived and teased, “Congratulations, sister-in-law. Now you are the sister-in-law.”
Ji Sang-ryeol explained, “I came here to do a remind wedding for my brother and sister-in-law,” revealing the reason for visiting the traditional wedding venue.
The traditional wedding consultant explained, “The groom's family member who married first can take charge,” and Kim Yong-myung decided to take on that role. They then planned to add a traditional music group, lion mask, and Seo-jin's drum performance to create a rich wedding ceremony.
As the wedding venue was prepared, Ji Sang-ryeol and Shin Ji entered wearing traditional wedding attire. Kim Yong-myung said, “Brother! There’s something important here! You have to carry Shin Ji and spin around, then stop for a kiss,” demonstrating. Ji Sang-ryeol carried Shin Ji but, due to his weak legs, ended up dropping her, causing laughter.
Following Kim Yong-myung's instructions, Shin Ji kissed Ji Sang-ryeol on the ear, and he couldn't hide his surprise, saying, “It wasn’t on the cheek, it was on the ear!” He then added, “A flare went off in my ear! It was tingly!” and looked pleased.
Ji Sang-ryeol shared in an interview, “I heard the Emile bell ringing in my ear. It felt a bit dazed. It’s been a long time since I’ve had a cupping on my cheek.” Shin Ji also confessed, “Oppa has changed. He was proactive! I realized that this oppa can change, and I ended up kissing him without even realizing it. Doing it for real feels different,” making Ji Sang-ryeol happy.
At that moment, Ji Sang-ryeol's niece and grandniece appeared as the first guests. While chatting, the main characters of the day, Ji Sang-ryeol's brother and sister-in-law, showed up, surprising everyone. Ji Sang-ryeol announced, “The remind wedding of the groom and bride!” revealing the event's identity, and his brother and sister-in-law looked delighted. The sister-in-law expressed, “I was so surprised and grateful. The things that had piled up in my heart melted away like snow.”
At this time, Seo-jin said, “Don’t the four of you feel like family?” and pushed Ji Sang-ryeol and Shin Ji together again, saying he would check their compatibility using an app. He said, “The compatibility score came out high. It’s 87 points. It seems like the sister-in-law has feelings, but the brother is holding back,” and actively supported them.
The sister-in-law shared, “A remind wedding was one of my bucket list items. I wanted to do it for our 40th wedding anniversary, but we couldn’t because my mother was in the hospital then. I feel like my uncle (Ji Sang-ryeol) has given me a big gift,” expressing her gratitude. Ji Sang-ryeol's niece said, “Uncle looks rough on TV, but he treats his family really well,” praising Ji Sang-ryeol.
Ji Sang-ryeol's grandniece said, “I’m against grandpa getting married, but it’s okay for sister Shin Ji. But no babies,” cheering for Ji Sang-ryeol and Shin Ji.
Afterward, the wedding ceremony began, with traditional music and lion dance creating a lively atmosphere. Ji Sang-ryeol's brother, seeing his wife getting off the palanquin, said, “Time has passed a lot. I got choked up,” showing a different look than when they fought.
The next part of the ceremony was a congratulatory speech, where his brother read a handwritten letter he had written. He expressed, “You, who have cared for our parents with a warmer heart than anyone else. And to you, who treated Sang-ryeol like a son and brother, I express my gratitude for your warm heart. Let’s live happily for a long time,” and kissed her.
Next, the gold ring that his mother used to wear was placed on his wife's finger, evoking deep emotions. Following that, Park Seo-jin played the drum and presented a concert-like congratulatory performance, reaching the peak of the atmosphere.
‘Salim Nam’ airs every Saturday at 9:15 PM.
