The person who entered holding Kim Ji-min's hand was not her father. That day, her side was accompanied by senior comedian Kim Dae-hee.
On the afternoon of the 13th, Kim Jun-ho (49) and Kim Ji-min (40) held their wedding at the Grand Intercontinental Parnas Hotel in Gangnam, Seoul. It was the fruit of their relationship that began publicly in 2022, three years later.
Groom Kim Jun-ho was the first to stand at the end of the virgin road. Dressed in a black tuxedo with a bow tie, a smile mixed with nervousness and excitement lingered on his face. All 1,200 guests' eyes were on him.
A moment later, bride Kim Ji-min appeared. Wearing a pure white wedding dress, with her hands holding flowers straight down, the person she held hands with was none other than Kim Dae-hee. Kim Dae-hee walked with a restrained gaze, while Kim Ji-min smiled beside him. The quiet emotional connection between the two filled the ceremony.
This scene was not just a simple entrance. Kim Ji-min's biological father had already passed away, and she entrusted Kim Dae-hee to fill that void. Kim Dae-hee had previously stood by Kim Ji-min during her father's funeral, and Kim Ji-min had asked him to "hold my hand instead of my father at my wedding." Kim Dae-hee had shared this on a broadcast, saying he "really cried."
In the end, that request became a reality, and Kim Ji-min walked the most radiant path holding the hand of her senior, not her father.
The invitation card contained a message saying, "Having met as seniors and juniors and shared precious times as lovers, we now wish to continue as a couple," along with the phrase "Feeling it, right?" This line symbolized the cheerful yet solid relationship between the two.
The ceremony was hosted by Lee Sang-min. Previously, Lee Sang-min had shed tears while helping Kim Jun-ho with his proposal on 'Dolsing For Man.' The congratulatory songs were performed by Spider and Byun Jin-seop, and the honeymoon has been postponed for the time being.
Kim Jun-ho said, "It's not a business marriage; I truly love her." On that day, the sincerity of those words was evident in his expression alone. The moment the bride approached, his hands instinctively opened wide.
Meanwhile, the wedding of Kim Jun-ho and Kim Ji-min is expected to be covered by various entertainment programs.
