1,000 Guests and a 'Full Head of Hair': Hong Seok Chun Prepares for Daughter’s Wedding
Entertainer Hong Seok Chun announces his daughter's wedding. With over 1,000 guests expected, find out his hilarious thoughts on his future son-in-law and the family's touching history.
A father who once fought against societal prejudice to protect his children is now getting ready to walk his daughter down the aisle. South Korean entertainer Hong Seok Chun recently shared the heartwarming news of his daughter’s upcoming wedding, expressing the excitement of a soon-to-be father-in-law. In a video released on December 26, 2025, on KBS's YouTube channel, he opened up about his transition from raising kids to worrying about their marriage.
A Massive Celebration with Over 1,000 Guests
The wedding is shaping up to be a major event. Hong Seok Chun revealed that his daughter was the first to bring up the topic, asking him how many guests he expected. Considering that 300 people show up just for his birthday parties, fellow cast members estimated the wedding would draw at least 1,000 guests. Hong also humorously admitted he was surprised to learn that popular wedding venues need to be booked at least a year in advance.
The Groom from Busan and Hong's 'Unique' Criteria
Hong didn't hold back his wit when describing his future son-in-law. When asked about his criteria for a groom, he joked, "I'm just glad he has a full head of hair," causing an eruption of laughter. He described the groom as a charming man from Busan. While the official meeting between the two families hasn't happened yet, Hong shared that his daughter is already very popular with her future in-laws, showing off his pride as a parent.
A Legacy of Love: The Story of Adoption
This wedding is particularly significant because of the family's history. In 2008, Hong Seok Chun legally adopted his older sister's two children following her divorce. By giving them his surname and raising them as his own, he provided a stable home despite the social stigmas he faced. The public has responded with overwhelming support, celebrating this milestone for a family built on choice and devotion.
