The wedding of the two stars Kim Seung-woo and Kim Nam-joo will be held on May 25 at 6:30 p.m. in the Vista Hall of the Sheraton Grand Walker Hill Hotel in Gwangjang-dong, Seoul, and is expected to become a gala of "hallyu" stars.
According to Kim Seung-woo's agency on May 24, some 100 "hallyu" stars will attend the wedding to congratulate the couple, including such top actors as Bae Yong-joon and Won Bin. Jang Dong-gun, regarded as one of the top four "hallyu" stars, will be the master of ceremonies.
Kim's agency also expects many celebrity couples to attend the wedding, such as Yeon Jeong-hoon and Han Ga-in, Lee Jae-ryong and Yoo Ho-jeong, and Cha In-pyo and Sin Ae-ra. The guests will also include actress Song Hye-kyo, who co-starred with Kim in the drama "Hotelier", as well as representatives from famous local entertainment planning agencies and movie companies.
But there are some concerns that Japanese and Southeast Asian fans are highly likely to crowd the wedding venue to see their favorite stars in person. In fact, Kim's agency has been flooded with calls from Japanese fans asking for the location of the wedding hall.
"We expect the Vista Hall, which can accommodate 700 people, to be severely crowded with guests and fans. We will deploy 30 to 35 security guards to ensure the safety of the bride, the groom and the guests, and make sure that the ceremony is held without any mishaps", said a person from Kim's agency.
