Comedians Kim Jun-ho, 50, and Kim Ji-min, 41, are now officially husband and wife. The comedy couple, who confirmed their relationship in 2022, held their wedding ceremony on Sunday at the Grand InterContinental Parnas Hotel in Seoul’s Gangnam District.

The ceremony, attended by family and friends, drew a star-studded guest list from the entertainment industry. An estimated 1,200 guests were present, making the event feel more like an awards ceremony than a wedding.

Singer Gummy and veteran balladeer Byun Jin-sub performed congratulatory songs, while the groom’s longtime friend and fellow entertainer Lee Sang-min, known for appearing alongside Kim on SBS variety shows like “My Little Old Boy” and “Dolsing Fourmen,” served as the emcee.

About three hours before the ceremony, the couple made their first appearance — Kim Ji-min stunning in a white wedding gown and Kim Jun-ho looking dapper in a beige suit. The moment when Kim Jun-ho escorted his bride out of the car drew praise online for its warmth and affection.

In a recent radio appearance, Kim Ji-min expressed mixed emotions leading up to the big day. “It still doesn’t feel real,” she said. “The process was so overwhelming, I just want it to be over. People ask why our wedding is so noisy when others do it quietly.”

Kim Jun-ho proposed to Kim Ji-min on national television last December during an episode of "My Little Old Boy," drawing widespread attention for its heartfelt nature.

Kim Ji-min moved guests to tears as she walked down the aisle holding the hand of comedian Kim Dae-hee in place of her late father.

In the past, Kim Dae-hee had revealed that Kim Ji-min once asked him to walk her down the aisle if she ever married Kim Jun-ho, as her father had passed away. Honoring that promise, Kim Dae-hee donned a hanbok (Korean traditional clothing) and proudly accompanied her on her special day.

Kim Jun-ho debuted in 1996 through SBS’s open recruitment program and became a founding member of KBS’s “Gag Concert.”

Kim Ji-min rose to fame as a standout comedian after debuting through KBS in 2006. She earned popularity on "Gag Concert" through iconic segments such as “Uncomfortable Truth” and “Beggar’s Dignity.”

While the couple is now married, their honeymoon will be postponed due to their packed schedules. Kim Ji-min is set to travel to the U.S. for tvN’s "The Kim Chang-ok Show Global," while Kim Jun-ho is preparing for the upcoming 13th Busan International Comedy Festival.
