The celebrity wedding of the year in Korea took place Tuesday in Seoul. The “Song Song” wedding, as the media have been calling it, saw actor Song Joong-ki and actress Song Hye-kyo tie the knot at the Shilla Hotel, with an estimated 300 guests in attendance.
The Songs were the main characters in one of the hottest Korean dramas of all time, “Descendants of the Sun.” Song Joong-ki, 32, has a successful career that has included roles in TV shows and film such as “The Battleship Island,” “The Grand Heist,” “A Frozen Flower,” “Deep Rooted Tree,” “Sungkyunkwan Scandal” and “The Innocent Man.”
Song Hye-kyo, 35, has starred in “Full House,” “Autumn in My Heart,” “Hotelier,” “All In,” “Hwang Jinyi,” “The Grandmaster” and “My Brilliant Life.”
They are expected to live in Song Joong-ki’s new 6,500-square-foot home in Itaewon, which he purchased early this year for nearly $9 million.
