In a second photo, the actress sported a ball gown with a full skirt and a square neckline, while her groom slipped into a black and white tux ensemble with a black bow tie. Sprinkled with cascading floral applique, the fairytale-esque gown is a new creation from Lebanese fashion label Elie Saab’s Spring 2022 bridal collection.

The ceremony’s held at the Grand Walkerhill Hotel’s Aston House in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul. According to the couple’s agencies, it’s a private event, with only family and close friends invited due to the pandemic.

Overlooking Mount Acha as well as the Han River, the prestigious hotel is also where other South Korean celebrities like Bae Yong-joon and Park Soo-jin as well as Kim Hee-sun and Shim Eun-ha held their weddings.

K-drama fans might also find the locale familiar – it’s served as a set for classic Korean dramas such as 2001’s Hotelier, The Heirs (2013), and Triangle (2014).

According to Taiwan’s Apple Daily, the exclusive and secluded wedding location charges from US$500 to US$600 (S$680 to S$810) per guest. The entire wedding? That works out to an estimated cost of about S$190,000.

Reportedly, 200 guests are said to be in attendance, including Crash Landing On You’s scriptwriter, Park Ji-eun, as well as Hyun Bin’s close friend, actor Jang Dong-gun, who is rumoured to be the one giving a toast to the happy couple.

Former footballer Lee Dong-gook’s wife, Lee Soo-jin, also posted a photo of the invitation over the weekend.
