cool. it looks so traditional.
i didnt think those kind of ceremonies were very common these days.

but congrats to them both.

I believe my heart just broke into a million little pieces. That aside, congrats to the happy couple.

it's like Jumong getting married all over again. lol

I was thinking whether if his wife is pretty or not...I discussed this with my friend who used to live in Korea for 3 years. She said....."Koreans are not that pretty, those pretty actresses you saw are mostly had plastic surgery"....

What do you guys think about that? I never been to Korea and the only Koreans I saw are actors and actresses so I have always thought ALL Koreans are pretty!

beautiful wedding!
and really nice blog java. i found this website through popseoul and i think your blog is 100x better.
love your writing, comments, attitude and humor! i'm so glad i found your blog to browse through while at work. :D it's very interesting and entertaining (and not so close-minded and ignorant).
i shall go to popseoul for the pictures and yours for content and actual reading enjoyment.
keep up the great work!!!

Congrats to Jumong and his bride..XD
And the bride's a judge? That's cool...

Wa~ What a beautiful wedding. Wish them all luck and happiness in their marriage Such pretty pretty pictures....

I wouldn't, however. XD Congrats to him, though I really do not think that there's 1% the bride won't be known sooner or later. But it's clear she's not in the entertainment business, or the news would already be out...

Sadly, we do not get to see the bride, neh? Though I guess that would be in case overly zealous fans start criticizing her....whether she's pretty or not ._. I'm glad her pics are't released. Some of the fans can be quite harsh...

About the "pretty" thing, I think you also have to take into account that these stars have entourages to make them look their best (which is why stars always look better after their successful debut). They've got make-up artists, stylists, ect. Normal people might look as pretty as them, but without great clothes or great make-up or great skin products obviously won't look as good....I expect his bride won't be normally as pretty as the stars in dramas because she won't pay as much attention to it as they do.

Interesting/pretty wedding ! Very traditional. Congrats to them. I guess because of the bride's career, he prefers to keep her from the media. Who cares if she's pretty or not. Wish them happy !

Just curious, how old is she ?

it might be a faux pas to bring it up again here.. but it seems like SIK is totally past the reporter beating incident eh? good for him.. i find it ironically funny that he's now married to a judge :D the traditional wedding looks super classy & gorgeous.. on the question of whether the bride is pretty or not.. she's a judge so w/ her kind of power she doesn't have to be.. if she is it's just a plus.. as for the assertion that "koreans are not that pretty".. ouch! i'm kind of hurt by that statement.. i agree w/ java.. it's hard to say whether all people of one nationality are beautiful or not.. as for hallyu & hollywood.. i think these people are definitely attractive but i also think they're human.. i'm sure they don't all roll out of bed in the morning looking like they do on the red carpet or in films & tv shows.. anyone checked out the blog "go fug yourself"? it's called makeup, wardrobe, lighting & a little bit of plastic fantastic :D

ok, kissing ass a little bit now...i think your blog is great too, java! i also came upon your website while browsing through other kpop blogs but while the others get so boring and monotonous with their constant bashing and negativity towards one artist or another (which is humorous at times but gets old)...yours is a breath of fresh air. so thank you!

and in response to ladychick...i also think it's hard to generalize an entire race as being pretty or not. like java said...they're just not as pretty as the celebrities you see on screen who have had either plastic surgery or have spent a lot of money on skincare, hair, make-up, etc. i've seen, met and know korean girls in the states who are naturally (i think) very attractive...just not as beautiful as the actresses you see. but i have to say i've met a few koreans guys who can give the actors a run for their money!

such a beautiful wedding! :)

aww, I think he's the first one I've heard that's had a traditional Korean wedding.
lol. that's soo cute!

@ bebolic: "just not as beautiful as the actresses you see"? ouch again! now i'm really starting to feel second-rate :( i think k-actresses are perfectly lovely.. but if you strip away the makeup, put them in a t-shirt & jeans, or even check them out pre-plastic surgery.. i'm sure you would find them looking as "normal" as any of the rest of us every day korean-american women.. hmph! :)

Wow.. I didn't expect SIK to get married... and to a lawyer at that! Pretty cool ^^ though I know there are lots of broken hearts out there =P and I agree that her picture/name is going to be public sometimes soon, I mean 1500 people? Someone definitely gonna leak it out.

Korean people are pretty or not... Hmm.. well it's the same for all races... there will be people prettier than some and what not but just that celebrities have make-up and expensive/pretty clothings etc. There are lots of normal people out there that are pretty, I know some very pretty people =] and they're natural too.. celebrities can always get plastic surgery (not that anyone care) and on screen they are made prettier.

the picture of SIK with the wooden duck brings back memories of me playing with the wooden ducks my parents got for their wedding ^_^ My parent's ducks were smaller and less fancy looking...I remember bashing them together a lot during "battles" -_-;; It wasn't till I popped off one of the heads I stopped playing with them and now I haven't seen them for a long time; I wonder if we still have them. It would be a lovely heirloom/keepsake sort of thing to have, head or no head ^_^

I'm losing Jumong...hehehe just kidding...the wedding was very solemn...I think the bride was pretty and very smart at that...they will be residing in Busan where the bride is assigned as a judge. Best Wishes to the newlyweds ^ ^

marcel,

don't feel second-rate! :P i agree with you. let me re-phrase...i meant that korean actresses look more beautiful than the average korean girl b/c they've gone through the transformation with either plastic surgery and/or professional skincare, make-up and hair but there are a lot of very cute regular korean girls. this was in response to ladychick's friend saying that regular koreans aren't pretty and i think they are...they just aren't made up like the celebrities she's use to seeing. but this goes for any race though.

koalabear,

wait...you were there at the wedding?

'ssup bebolic: i gotcha ;) sometimes it ain't easy as a natural girl being compared to k-starlets.. or living in beauty obsessed southern california for that matter heh..

that seems like a nice, sweet ceremony they had!
on a side note, what dramas besides hong gil dong have you been watching?
could i recommend one for you to just take a peek at?
The drama Who Are You? has an interesting plot, have you seen it? if so what are your thoughts on it?

Amen chasen8888! Who cares? Congrats to SIK, who is one of my favorite actors! I loved both Haesin and Jumong. ladychick, if you are lucky enough to make it to Seoul one day, just stroll the streets of Myeongdong or Gangnam.... you will not be disappointed. Very beautiful and stylish people are everywhere! Really there is great diversity in looks in any country...

am no fan, but i guess my uncle won't mind... he he he he... haven't watched jumong... just thought it was too long...

Wow the ceremony looks cool. I heard SIG's mom likes the bride. Heheh wow a judge that's cool.Congrats to them! Jumong babies! ^^

Actually, i think there are some good looking normal people. U know those ulzzangs and what not. Hehehe But really, I saw some random people when i went guys.. were cute. Girls, some yes and some no. hehhehe Like julier said, in those places. But those celebs do stand out. I think most countries are like that. Not everyone looks the same.
