Shim Hyun-seop's Heartwarming Wedding at 54

In the latest episode of TV Chosun's 'Joseon's Love Fool' (조선의 사랑꾼), comedian Shim Hyun-seop's wedding was featured, showcasing the joyful moments and unexpected happenings that brought laughter to the guests. The episode aired on May 12, 2025, highlighting the special day that took place on April 20, when Shim married a non-celebrity, Jeong Yeong-rim.

The wedding was attended by numerous fellow entertainers and friends who gathered to celebrate this new chapter in Shim's life. A particularly touching moment was when Shim prepared a surprise song for his bride, which captivated the audience's hearts. There was also much anticipation surrounding who would officiate the ceremony, especially after Shim had previously visited actor Lee Byung-hun to personally share his wedding news, leading guests to speculate whether Lee would be the one to host the event.

Upon arriving at the venue, former footballer Lee Cheon-soo was taken aback by a sign on the waiting room door that read 'Lee Byung-hun's Waiting Room,' which heightened the excitement among attendees. Additionally, floral arrangements included the names of the famous couple, Lee Byung-hun and Lee Min-jung, further fueling the guests' hopes.

However, the actual host turned out to be director Lee Byung-hun, known for his work on hit films like 'Extreme Job' (극한직업) and 'Dream' (드림), rather than the actor everyone was expecting. The production team noted that guests were surprised to see the 'real' Lee Byung-hun, leading to a mix of astonishment and delight in the atmosphere.

During the ceremony, Shim Hyun-seop performed a heartfelt song he wrote himself for his wife, expressing his genuine emotions as a late-blooming groom. Friends remarked on his transformation, saying, 'He used to be so reserved, but now he radiates confidence,' genuinely celebrating his happiness.
