A-listers at Song Il-gook’s wedding

20080318_songilgook_wedding5

Despite the hush hush nature of the wedding details, the press sniffed out the location and time of Song Il-gook’s (37) wedding. Befitting the image of a Korean prince, the Jumong actor wed Jung Seung-yeon (32) in a gorgeous traditional ceremony at the Vista Hall in Sheraton Walker Hill on March 16th, 2008.

There are very few pictures released to the public of the new bride. To avoid the glare of the cameras, the low-key bride remained in her room until the start of the ceremony. (Generally, brides are displayed in ‘bridal waiting rooms” )

Congratulations to the newlyweds

Sure the guest list was packed with the A-listers, but unfortunately, there were very few celebrities of interest.

The wedding ceremony was held in the evening with approximately 1600 persons in attendance. Evening weddings are usually formal affairs so let’s see how the celebrities stack up.

20080318_songilgook_wedding_ahnseongki20080318_songilgook_wedding_ahnsongki Ahn Seong-ki. appropriate, but note that black ties are usually worn at funerals

20080318_songilgook_wedding_chaeshira Chae Shira. Appropriate but needs some styliing tips.

20080318_songilgook_wedding_choisujung Choi Su-jung looks so gaunt and tired, a bit like Han Jae-suk. Both need to chow down on a few more big macs.

20080318_songilgook_wedding_hanjaesuk Han Jae-suk is gaunt but appropriately dressed-although shouldn’t he wear a tie?

20080318_songilgook_wedding_jungsunghwan20080318_songilgook_wedding_jungsunghwan1 Jung Sunghwan

20080318_songilgook_wedding_kimhyena1 20080318_songilgook_wedding_kimhyena_songjihyo Kim Hye-na (with Song Ji-hyo). The girl is wearing shorts to a wedding. Did she not check what she was wearing down below before stepping out?

20080318_songilgook_wedding_kimnawoon120080318_songilgook_wedding_kimnawoon Kim Na-woon wears an interesting silver ensemble. Not something I would pick out of the closet but the silver color is fabulous.

20080318_songilgook_wedding_kimtaewook_shindongyeop Couples Kim Taewook and Chae Shira and Shin Dongyeop and wifey.

20080318_songilgook_wedding_leeboyoung20080318_songilgook_wedding_leeboyoung1 Lee Boyoung is hiding a striped dress under a black jacket…. need a better picture.

20080318_songilgook_wedding_leetaegon Lee Tae-gon is in a suit. (can you tell I have nothing to say?)

20080318_songilgook_wedding_limhyunsik Lim Hyunsik. The night belonged to the ajushis!

20080318_songilgook_wedding_paksolmi20080318_songilgook_wedding_paksolmi1 Park Sol-mi. Only the top half is appropriate. I wonder what went through her head when she picked out jeans for an evening wedding?

20080318_songilgook_wedding_parksangwon20080318_songilgook_wedding_parksangwon1 Park Sang-won looking smart in a black suit and dark navy tie.

20080318_songilgook_wedding_shindongyeop Shin Dong-yeop wears a power red tie. I wonder where he got the red blotch on his face?

20080318_songilgook_wedding_sohnhyunju Sohn Hyun-ju is buttoned up.

20080318_songilgook_wedding_wonkijoon20080318_songilgook_wedding_wonkijoon1 Won Ki-joon wears the popular “Kalchi” suit but in a darker gray color. Not bad.

    …wedding looks boring, just like his acting (ZING!)

    well, just filling in for the resident Zinger @ popseoul until she gets back. the impostor we got know won’t cut it.

  3. 3 hjjhj March 19, 2008 at 2:46 pm

    korean celebrity weddings are more like stage shows than traditional weddings. they walk down runways and have photogs everywhere. I have yet to see bridesmaids at one of these. Do they have bridesmaids?

  4. 4 kitty March 19, 2008 at 3:00 pm

    oo he’s the guy in lobbyist lol
    the wedding looked boring :/

  5. 5 jrizzle March 19, 2008 at 3:06 pm

  9. 9 masuri March 19, 2008 at 3:35 pm

    HAHAHAAA .. “kalchi” suit! is that what the “shiny suit” phenomenon is called? at least no one wore rhinestone ties …

  10. 10 Yay... March 19, 2008 at 3:43 pm

    Where’s the bride

  11. 11 Yay... March 19, 2008 at 3:44 pm

    I can’t see his bride clearly.

  12. 12 AdjengKartini March 19, 2008 at 3:56 pm

    2days wedding (in any countries) is more traditional+modernize, it’s nice to see the other country wedding ceremony.

    but in this case, most of korean celebrity weddings are full of glamourous but divorce after all….

    For me marriage is not for show off but the important thing is a promise that you need to takecare of.

    K.I.S.S keep it simple & sweet

  13. 13 BABY March 19, 2008 at 4:55 pm

    i wanna see the bride

    2nd person who wrote a comment saying his acting is borin, stfu whats with ppl who likes to bring ppl down?

  14. 14 BABY March 19, 2008 at 4:55 pm

    n damn he looks hot in a korean tradional clothes

  15. 15 angie March 19, 2008 at 5:26 pm

    the press release wedding photo looks unique,
    and the beautiful (the 3rd pic)
    where’s the bride you say? its a secret of course, he mention dat somewhere, sumthin privacy

    does that mean all 1000+ guest have to shut their mouth?

  16. 16 xxx March 19, 2008 at 5:55 pm

    why do they always like wearing black dresses on weddings?!.. lol.. its a wedding not a funeral.. XD.. i just think tht black outfits doesn’t suit that kind of ceremony.. well that’s only an opinion.. ^^

    anyways chukahamnida (is dat rite?) congratz, song il gook!~

  17. 17 o_O March 19, 2008 at 6:56 pm

    is that what they wore to the ceremony itself, or just on the way to the wedding?? aren’t you supposed to change when you get there so your formal stuff doesnt get messed up?

  18. 18 Dumpling March 19, 2008 at 7:15 pm

    Shorts and jeans, what an embarassment.

    I think Kim Ajoong looks really nice, and not office-like at all.

  19. 19 missy March 19, 2008 at 7:58 pm

    like the guy but seems like his wedding was…Boring and I wanna see his bride ..lol

  20. 20 Victoria March 19, 2008 at 9:07 pm

    Is someone having a bad fashion day, PopSeoul? Get a stress ball that might help.

  21. 21 phiphi March 19, 2008 at 9:44 pm

    This wedding ceremony is beautiful but looks so staged!

    It looks more like they are walking down the run way at a fashion show.

    Should wedding be more cozy and intimate?

  22. 22 spin March 19, 2008 at 9:58 pm

    the wedding looks sterile.

    hm. as long as the families are happy.

  23. 23 KyuMin March 19, 2008 at 11:16 pm

    congrats to the Jumong star

  24. 24 EG March 20, 2008 at 12:02 am

    Ladies wearing all black looks like they all going to business meeting not a wedding …………..helloooooo

  25. 25 Omo March 20, 2008 at 12:02 am

    So pretty. The wedding stills look like screen caps from Goong episodes.

  26. 26 amareally March 20, 2008 at 12:54 am

    Where are the other Jumong or Lobbyist cast mates ???

  27. 27 dumplingeater March 20, 2008 at 12:56 am

    Popseoul deletes entries written by people who are smarter and hotter than they are. So much for the the free speech rant, biznatches.

  28. 28 fly me to the moon March 20, 2008 at 2:15 am

    i love weddings

  29. 29 Brina March 20, 2008 at 2:17 am

    I thought the shorts were cute on that girl. I would so wear that to a wedding.

  30. 30 soju March 20, 2008 at 3:01 am

    congratulations to the happy couple!

  31. 31 Lana March 20, 2008 at 3:12 am

    Choi Su-jung does not look gaunt and tired! He looks good….YUM!!!!!!!!

  32. 32 Cutie March 20, 2008 at 3:42 am

    “Korean celebrity weddings are more like stage shows than traditional weddings. they walk down runways and have photogs everywhere. I have yet to see bridesmaids at one of these. Do they have bridesmaids?”

    Park Kyong-Lim had bridesmaid (Bada, lee Soo young, and Jang Nara)

    But I guess an excuse for weddings in Korea is that you cant expect them to be like the one in the Western countries because Korea is not a western country? They probably dont even have to go by the white dresses anyways…

    But Korean traditional weddings are coooool… the dresses are pretty ^^

  33. 33 haj March 20, 2008 at 5:12 am

    i see lots of his old co-stars like from jumong and haeshin-cool!

  34. 34 £ğöçεή†яỉǺ≈ ŁąñЕTAEJUS March 20, 2008 at 6:01 am

    Seems like a good wedding!!

  35. 35 yetaz March 20, 2008 at 6:05 am

    Park Sol Mi and Lee Bo Young attend the same wedding?
    Some tension there.
    (JISUNG).

  36. 36 nina March 20, 2008 at 7:04 am

    this doesn’t feel very wedding-like…
    it’s not very bright and happy :(
    btw why are these celeb weddings like promotional events??
    lolol i think popseoul’s new favorite word is “gaunt,” i’ve seen that word a lot in the recent posts lolol

  37. 37 HanJiMin March 20, 2008 at 7:35 am

    Song Ji Hyo looks so tired…and Han Hye Jin looks messy! :O

  38. 38 starz12 March 20, 2008 at 8:02 am

    omg.. why traditional wedding.. maybe he was kinda of used to it after filming jumong.. but anyways, i hope her bride is pretty.. han hye jin gain wieght…i i honetly dont like the outfit.. congrats song il gook..

  39. 39 thuha March 20, 2008 at 8:20 am

    Why not traditional wedding? It’s meaningful. I admire this actor to do what he wants to do and not follow the crowd.
    Love him most in Terms of Endearment. Not a fan of Jumong or Emperor of the Sea. Disappointed in Lobbist.
    He sets himself different from other actors: raise his political opinion, have traditional wedding, not afraid of marrying a high educated wife, successfully keep his wife from public eye, move to Busan ’cause of his wife’s job, and I heard he is very athletic… He is more human to me than other faces you see so often at fashion shows and CFs…
    When will celebrities dress better at weddings? They show no respect for themselves and others. Every woman need a black cocktail dress, but c’mon, it’s wedding, more cheerful color pls, where is their stylists? And jeans to the wedding? no matter how expensive it is, it’s INAPPROPRIATE. Fans, pls tell your idols how to dress

  40. 40 evvy March 20, 2008 at 9:17 am

    Why’s everyone wearing black? Everything looks so sunk and sullen. Han Hye Jin attends her co-actor’s wedding! :) Jumong was the best.
    Actresses need to know that just because they’re actresses, it doesn’t mean that they can wear anything to a wedding. Even I wear dresses and make-up and style my hair when I go to a wedding.

  41. 41 Bella March 20, 2008 at 9:58 am

    I wish there were pictures of the bride.
    Sol-mi is wearing true religion haha
    Too many stars are wearing black..

  42. 42 Lulia March 21, 2008 at 5:17 am

    OMO! HE GOT MARRIED? WOW…. WHO IS HIS NEW WIFE? ACTRESS? SINGER? NEVER HEARD OF HER. EVEN TRIED TO LOOK HER UP, CANT FIND NOTHING. OH WELLS…. CONGRATS TO HIM, HES LOOKING GOOD AS ALWAYS !D

  43. 43 eileen March 21, 2008 at 8:36 am

    isn’t there any pictures of this new bride??

    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    well, if his acting is boring, then why he was able to bag the DAESANG AWARD last 2006?

    I guess you don’t have the appreciation for traditional weddings like that.

    if you have anything to say sensible, you should shut up.
    you better analyze first before you make blah-blah on the likes of song il gook.

    at least he shows his appreciation and love for korean traditions unlike the other korean youths out there who rather prefers modern western ones.

  45. 45 JUMONG March 22, 2008 at 8:26 pm

    good luck and have fun to your wife…but still your my no. 1 idol JUMONG/SONG IL GOOK…CONGRATZZ..MORE blessings…saranghe….

    yes congratulations song il gook and best wishes

  49. 49 Almos March 24, 2008 at 12:13 pm

    The photo journalist must have been blind! Choi Su-jung does not look “gaunt” at all. Actually, he looks better and jounger than ever! He is more handsome since lost weight while filming Dae Jo Young.

  50. 50 maythu March 24, 2008 at 5:19 pm

    Congratulations Song, May you be well and happy!

    then Jumong came out WOW!!!
    i love you!

  59. 59 ardentfrias April 5, 2008 at 9:48 am

    Too many guests wearing black. Are they that pessimists? Maybe putting the end to the bachelor life of Song. Han Hye Jin, especially. A woman wearing all black in a wedding and it’s not even a glamorous gown. Mourning for something? How much longer shall we wait to see a full view photo of Ms. Jung. I’ve heard she is charming. Well, I must believe that. Song is very handsome and hot. He deserves a lovely wife and of course, lovely children. Hope to see a new movie of his. This time a more powerful role like Jumong and Yeum Moon or a more protective and caring husband/father like Jang Soo and please, a deserving beautiful leading lady.

  60. 60 lwiza 2000 April 8, 2008 at 9:28 pm

    hope you can visit Philippines soon.
    im one of your avid fan here in the Philippines…..i really love you at Jumong…….im very thankful that Q-TV is again replaying Jomung. once again im waiting for the lobbyist to be air here…..

  62. 62 ardentfrias April 19, 2008 at 4:43 am

    No news yet about the newly wed couple from Busan. I wonder when will Song shoot another movie. Still, no picture of his wife is being published. She’s a mystery until now. Haay,I hope it’s worth all the wait and anticipation.

  63. 63 andy May 6, 2008 at 12:28 am
