"The meal costs 110,000 won per person": A man and woman paid 50,000 won as a wedding gift and took two meal tickets... "Who are you?" [Video]

[Financial News] It was belatedly revealed that a man and woman with no connection to the bride or groom paid 50,000 won as a wedding gift and took two meal tickets at a wedding venue in Seoul.

According to JTBC's 'Sageonbanjang' on the 1st, a man and woman unknown to the bride and groom visited the cash-gift desk at a Seoul wedding venue last month. They handed over an envelope and received two meal tickets.
Closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage shown on the program captured a masked man and a woman wearing a black dress standing in line with other wedding guests. They handed an envelope to the cash-gift desk, received two meal tickets, and left. A later check found 50,000 won inside the envelope.
According to the informant, the wedding venue's meal cost was 110,000 won per person, meaning the two people's meals alone totaled 220,000 won.
The informant reportedly hired a company to handle the cash-gift collection because of concerns that people who were not actual guests might take meal tickets. Empty envelopes and envelopes containing 10,000 won were checked separately, but the envelope in question contained a 50,000-won bill, so two meal tickets were handed over without raising suspicion.
The fact that the two people were not acquaintances of either the bride or groom came to light when the cash-gift list was reviewed after the wedding.
The informant told 'Sageonbanjang', "I was going to give my parents the cash-gift list, but none of my friends was named Choi ○○. I also checked with both sets of parents, but they said they did not know the person either, so I watched the video."
The informant added, "The man and woman in the video were complete strangers, and the amount of the cash gift was also absurd."

Recently, some engaged couples have been conducting so-called 'undercover tours' by attending other people's weddings as guests and personally inspecting the venue's parking facilities, traffic flow, and overall atmosphere.
Online communities have expressed understanding of the practice, noting that wedding costs are high and it is difficult to check the actual proceedings in advance. Others, however, have criticized attending someone else's wedding without permission as rude.
The informant said no separate legal action would be taken but expressed a desire to make the story known through the broadcast.
