Actors Byun Yo-han and Girls’ Generation’s Tiffany Young have officially tied the knot. While the news of their marriage was met with blessings, it unexpectedly drew comparisons to other celebrities’ weddings online.
On the 27th, Byun Yo-han’s agency, TEAMHOPE, announced in an official statement that the couple had completed their marriage registration. “The actors wanted to share the news first with their fans who have always supported them with immense love,” the statement conveyed, expressing a cautious hope to avoid public fatigue from ongoing updates.
Regarding the wedding ceremony, although details have not been finalized, they revealed they are considering a modest family gathering in the form of a simple church service, which garnered attention.
Celebrity weddings are always a subject of public interest, often associated with grand hotel venues, costs reaching hundreds of millions of won, and star-studded guest lists. Even private weddings often attract attention if details about the venue and costs surface.
In this context, the mention of a ‘simple church service’ was met with overwhelming support from netizens, with comments such as “Surprising, considering it could have been lavish,” “It seems meaningful as both are Christians,” and “Sincerely, congratulations.”
However, some netizens shifted the focus by drawing comparisons to other recently married celebrities.
Earlier, on the 22nd, comedian Nam Chang-hee held his wedding with a non-celebrity partner at the Shilla Hotel, the same venue as fellow comedian Jo Se-ho. The costs reportedly reached 100 to 200 million won, drawing considerable attention.
One netizen, referencing this, commented, “They’re keeping it humble and small, while Nam Chang-hee and Jo Se-ho seem to want to display theirs,” inadvertently creating a comparison on what should have been a purely congratulatory occasion.
Other netizens countered with comments such as, “Why bring them up when they haven’t harmed anyone?” “Each to their own choice,” and “Why judge others’ weddings?”
The scale and form of a wedding are personal choices based on individual values and circumstances, not matters of superiority. Whether grand or simple, all weddings should be blessed beginnings.
Tiffany Young, meanwhile, has become the first member of Girls’ Generation to tie the knot.
