Kwon Sang-woo weds Sohn Tae-young (finally)
by javabeans
After all the hullaballo, Kwon Sang-woo finally married Sohn Tae-young today (September 28), and I for one am glad, since we won’t be having to hear about it anymore.
The couple gave a press conference prior to the wedding, as the wedding itself was closed to the press. Sohn Tae-young wore a Kenneth Pool gown, which she bought on the couple’s recent trip to England.
Kwon: “I’m finally getting married. I’m so nervous — my nerves don’t begin to compare with any film festival or event I’ve been to. … We’ll live happily together. I vow to love her forever.” Sohn: “It doesn’t feel real yet. Actually, I wasn’t nervous at all while getting ready. But now I’m starting to feel it.”
When asked about kids, Kwon answered that he’d like three, but joked that Sohn “has agreed to two, for her figure’s sake.”
And, since it’s not every day such a huge Hallyu star gets married, we have a pretty impressive guest-star roster that rivals the red carpet at some of the largest industry events.
Kwon’s best bud Song Seung-heon, actor-director Yoo Ji-tae and date Kim Hyo-jin:
So Ji-sub, Park Shi-yeon:
Choi Ji-woo, Cha Seung-won:
Ha Ji-won, Jung Woo-sung:
Jang Dong-gun:
Lee Byung-heon, Lee Beom-soo:
Lee Dong-gun, Lee Jung-jin:
Married couple Yeon Jung-hoon and Han Ga-in:
Lee Jung-jae, Jung Joon-ha:
“Matchmaker” Kim Sung-soo (who introduced the couple):
Byun Jung-soo:
Park Yong-ha (looking a little Liza Minnelli), So Yi-hyun, Oh Ji-ho:
Hwang Bo, Park Jung-chul, Shim Ji-ho:

"I for one am glad, since we won’t be having to hear about it anymore."
i KNOW...me TOOOO! man, i was getting sick of hearing news about these two, their wedding and how they were always trying to avoid being seen together in public before their wedding. enough already! so maybe they'll act normal now. :) on top of having tons of a-lister guests...there sure are a lot of ppl in black! most of the men look great but the women should have some color at least.

Byun Jung-soo totally rocks with this clothes, at least she wears something different and not black, I love it!
Even if Ha Ji-won and Park Si-yeon are stunning in black.

Interesting - are there no negative connotations associated with wearing black to a wedding in Korea (actual question) - from the number of people in black, it seems its actually the preferred color of choice? Also, Kim Sung-soo looks gooood!

yeah, it's not considered faux pas to wear black to a korean wedding since white rather than black is traditionally associated with death/mourning.
at korean funerals the family often wears white (one has the option of the "Confusion/Eastern" white hanbok or the "Judeo-Christian influenced" black hanbok--I'm not labeling, this is how they refer to the hanboks at some hanbok stores) so that connection between death/bad luck and black isn't as prevalent in korea.
i guess koreans mostly associate formal occasions with black, whether it is a wedding, a funeral, or some party/event.

What's with many of the women celebs wearing white?? Don't they know only the bride is supposed to be wearing that color on wedding day?
I'm Korean-American, and will never understand why Korean celebs go in the aisle together and do those unnecessary "events" that take place during the ceremony. But from the looks of things, maybe these two didn't do them.

hahhaha. so cute, dress is soo fine..but almost all of the guests are wearing black, Park Shi yeon and Haji woon is completly black like they on way to a funeral. Lee Jung Jae in second picture made a really big leap..can you see how wide the distance between his two legs, having a long legs is really something.. Jang dung gun is holy hot and Song Seung Hun and Choi Ji Woo is simply hot and gorgeous.. i hope this two A-listers celebs will settle down soon.

There's a lot of black going on for a wedding, almost looks like a funeral. Maybe they're mourning that KSW isn't available anymore.

yeah why do they wear black in a wedding in Korea? Ha Ji Won for one wore black & most guys? Is this the wedding outfit perhaps in a Korean wedding? Anyway, thanks for sharing these beautiful photos of the bride & groom & Congratulations to one of my favorite actors! I've mixed feelings now seeing him married -- I guess fans have that kind of perception that when your idol per se is married he's not completely with the fans anymore! I don't know just a thought! She's a beautiful bride & he's very handsome! SSH looks cute as well as So Ji Sub! It's a beautiful wedding no doubt! Best wishes to you both!

why is everybody in black i mean almost everybody -- as if they're going to a funeral! yeah maybe they're mourning that he's no longer single! let's really hope he loves her forever as he said in their press con & they stay together forever as I'm happy for him although I'm kinda jealous now that he's no longer 101% ours (my fellow fans). I hope he doesn't forget his fans cause of his beautiful bride! May you live happily ever after! God bless!

i wish the kwon sang woo and sohn tae-young had more lovey dovey pics- like Ha Ga In and Yeon Jung-hoon wedding album pics a few years back. KSW and STY look so cold and elegant.
I know that black is an acceptable color to wear to an Asian wedding (and black=formal)- but still- why was practically EVERYONE wearing black! I know they couldn't wear white, but why not pink, blue, purple, etc? At least mostly everyone dressed decently to the wedding- with the exception of Byun Jung-soo, who looks like she was about to hit the clubs after the wedding. Choi Ji Woo was the best dressed female at the party, IMO. At least it looked like people were enjoying themselves and having fun- especially Jung Joon-ha. hahahaha. So Ji Sub looked HOT! And so does Matchmaker Kim Sung-soo- he must be so proud as being the one to get kwon sung-woo hitched.

Where is one of his best friends Kim Ha Neul? She's missing in photos - maybe she's doing a shoot? I know they said they're best friends in real life! Great photos & thanks dramabeans for sharing! Congratulations to the newlyweds & have a happy life!

I thought this was supposed to be a wedding, therefore a celebration.
I really missed seeing some "happy" colours and especially the beautiful hanboks that are worn at special events.
Maybe then the women could have provided better counterpoints to those dark suits worn by the men.
Oh well, I guess weddings aren't so special anymore. I even saw a few people in jeans and runners.

Okay, I noticed that almost all (except Han Ga In) were wearing dark colors for the wedding? Did the couple ask for them to wear dark colors or did they consider Kwon's and Sohn's marriage as an embarassment and a shame?
I'm just asking because I find it very weird. If it was my wedding, I wouldn't like it if ALL my guests wore black. A few, I wouldn't mind. but ALL?!

yeah, i also noticed that most ladies wore black to the wedding which is a bit unusual. in my country, we associate black to mourning, so we don't wear it when we attend a wedding. maybe in korea it's different?

I, for one, was getting annoyed with all the publicity generated leading up to the wedding from the teaser pics that were released gradually to his fan meet and her cosmetics endorsement. I was one of those who said the London pics looked kinda posed but I feel I shld take back what I said after seeing the wedding pics. It sort of completes the story, in a way.
Despite being a KSW fan and starting out thinking he could have done better, STY is growing on me.
and yes, Kim Sung-soo looks dishy.

Ji Woo looks really pretty... she could get her pick of any of those A-List actors at the wedding but I guess she's friends with most of them... looking at the pictures of her and Lee Jung Jae , I thought they look good with each other but she also looks good with Lee Byung Hun too... hmmm.
There is something with Park Shi Yeon's face that just looks weird to me though I am drooling over her red Chanel bag and is Ha Ji Won also using a Chanel bag too...all those Chanels... I want!!!
