Actress Choi Jin-sil (late) and baseball player Jo Sung-min (late)’s daughter, Choi Jun-hee, has begun a new chapter as she held her wedding ceremony. The most moving moment came when she walked down the aisle hand in hand with her older brother, Choi Hwan-hee, standing in for their late parents — a scene that left a deep impression on everyone present.
On the 16th, Choi Jun-hee tied the knot with her non-celebrity boyfriend, who is 11 years older, at a hotel in Gangnam, Seoul. The ceremony was intimate and warm, attended by family and close friends. Comedian Jo Se-ho served as the MC, while singer Sohyang performed the congratulatory song. Celebrities including Hong Jin-kyung, Uhm Jung-hwa, Lee Young-ja, and Jo Soo-yeon attended as guests to celebrate Choi Jun-hee’s future.
The moment that drew the most attention was the bride’s entrance. Wearing a pure white wedding dress, Choi Jun-hee slowly made her way into the hall, holding tightly onto her brother Choi Hwan-hee’s hand. His steadfast presence by his sister’s side moved the guests to tears — a powerful reminder of the journey the siblings have walked together.
Choi Hwan-hee also offered heartfelt congratulations to his sister. On social media, he shared a photo of the couple in the bride’s waiting room with a short but sincere message: "Congratulations. Just be happy."
Ahead of the wedding, Choi Jun-hee candidly shared her sorrow over her parents’ absence. She said, "What hurts the most is that Mom and Dad are the only ones missing from every occasion," adding that she steadied her heart by thinking of them before the ceremony.
She didn’t hide her affection for her groom, either. In response to the question "Why him?" she said, "Because he’s someone who has been sick for a long time," explaining that she was drawn to the strength and kindness of someone who has endured pain. She added, "Even if the road is long and the end isn’t in sight, he told me he’d carry me on his back and run — and asked me to go with him," revealing deep trust in her partner.
Born in 2003, Choi Jun-hee experienced profound hardship at a young age, yet grew up leaning on her brother, Choi Hwan-hee. As such, this wedding became more than a ceremony — it was a moment that brought the siblings’ shared time and the meaning of family back into focus.
