Businesswoman and former supermodel Kim Ja-yeon married Son Yeong-gwon, a former Samsung Electronics president who is 25 years her senior.

Recently, Kim shared the news of her marriage directly on her social media, posting, "Everyone, I am getting married!"

She stated, "I am sharing this happy news with all of you who have always supported me. You may be surprised by the sudden news. In fact, I was also surprised," adding, "I thought I would live alone for my entire life without ever marrying, but after well past 40, I came full circle and found my one person."

She then explained about her first meeting with her husband, Son Yeong-gwon, saying, "We had walked different paths in our respective fields and first met as MIT senior and junior two years ago."

Kim introduced her husband, noting that he "served as president and Chief Strategy Officer (CSO) of Samsung Electronics, and is currently the chairman of the Samsung Semiconductor Advisory Committee, chairman of the board of directors at Harman International, and also a venture capital founder in Silicon Valley."

She continued, "Beyond all his social achievements, my husband is a person with a warm character who sincerely cherishes and loves me, always shows consideration, and respects me. And he finds me very cute despite my tall height," expressing her affection.

The two developed into a romantic relationship earlier this year after forming a bond as senior and junior two years ago. Kim shared, "At first, we got to know each other naturally as senior and junior. As time spent together accumulated, we gradually grew closer, and after confirming our feelings for each other earlier this year, we came to understand and respect each other's worlds while traveling between the United States, Korea, and Europe."

She added, "In that way, before we knew it, we became special people to each other and began to dream of a life together," stating, "Because we had built trust as good friends over two years, it did not take long for us to decide to spend the rest of our lives together after becoming a couple."

The wedding was held quietly in Switzerland with only family members in attendance. Kim shared, "We held a quiet wedding ceremony at the Bürgenstock Hotel on Lake Lucerne in Switzerland, a place deeply connected to our bond through Audrey Hepburn's wedding there, which we both love, with our families present."

She added, "Amidst the warm blessings of our families, we promised each other for life and decided to stay by each other's side and expand our respective worlds together."

Finally, Kim urged, "We will cherish each other and live happily while keeping in mind the hearts, affection, and blessings you have sent us. Please warmly watch over my new beginning."
