KARA’s Heo Young-ji is set to share personal, behind-the-scenes stories from her sister Heo Song-yeon’s wedding to singer-songwriter Jeok Jae.
On the April 9 episode of MBC’s variety show Where is My Home, the cast explores Seoul’s peak wedding season through the “Sdeu-me” concept—short for studio, dress, and makeup—where couples prepare for their big day.
Heo Young-ji teams up with Lee Mi-joo and Yang Se-chan as they step into the wedding industry firsthand, visiting venues, dress shops, and makeup studios while unpacking current trends among engaged couples.
The episode also dives into lesser-seen aspects of wedding planning. From the “shikjang-segwon” lifestyle—living near wedding venues for convenience—to the growing popularity of officiant-free ceremonies, the show highlights how modern weddings are evolving. Creative formats, including interactive elements like lucky draws and guest pairings, add a fresh twist to traditional celebrations.
In Seongsu-dong, a rising hub for self wedding shoots, the trio meets a well-known makeup artist and explores a more relaxed, personalized approach compared to the classic Cheongdam style. Conversations also touch on changing expectations, including trends in parents-of-the-couple styling.
At the heart of the episode, Heo Young-ji reflects on her sister’s wedding preparations, offering first-hand insights that bring a more intimate layer to the discussion. Her stories add warmth and authenticity to the broader look at wedding culture.
The team later visits a house-wedding venue in Yeonhui-dong, showcasing an alternative to traditional halls and highlighting options for couples seeking more character-driven celebrations.
The “Sdeu-me Road” special airs on April 9 at 10 p.m., presenting both practical insights and personal moments from today’s evolving wedding scene.
Meanwhile, Jeok Jae is known for songs such as “Let’s Go See the Stars” and “Walk with Me,” while Heo Song-yeon began her broadcasting career in 2016 as a news anchor.
