The wedding reportedly took place at Hotel Shilla's luxury wedding venue, which is famous as the site where actress Jun Ji-hyun and former figure skater Yuna Kim also held their weddings.
The cost of a wedding at Hotel Shilla varies significantly depending on additional items such as venue rental, production fees, floral decorations, and meal costs. Actual cases show the total can reach around 196.93 million KRW.
Previously, beauty YouTuber Double Soup, who has 680,000 subscribers, revealed that after holding her wedding at Hotel Shilla in Seoul this May, she paid a total of 196,930,962 KRW, including meal costs and floral decorations. She held her ceremony in the Dynasty Hall at Hotel Shilla.
Double Soup explained, "The venue rental fee itself is not extremely expensive, but it only covers the square space. There are many additional costs for things like floral decorations, beam projectors, curtains, chandeliers, wedding stage decorations, and live music. Everything is an extra charge. If you add a wedding cake, the price increases even more."

The meal cost starts at 200,000 KRW per person, and with 433 guests, the total meal expense was about 90 million KRW."
