Hong Seok-woo (54), a KBS public recruitment comedian, has welcomed the joyous occasion of taking an American son-in-law.
According to a StarNews investigation on the 12th, Hong Seok-woo's daughter, Ms. Hong, is scheduled to hold her wedding ceremony at a wedding hall in Jeonju, North Jeolla Province, on the afternoon of the 14th.
The groom-to-be is known to be American. The two met in the United States and developed into a romantic relationship, eventually leading to marriage. Hong Seok-woo has been reported to be sharing the family's joy by distributing his daughter's wedding invitations to colleagues and acquaintances.
Hong Seok-woo is not the first celebrity to welcome a foreign son-in-law. Actress Sun Woo-young welcomed an American son-in-law when her daughter, former singer Choi Yeon-je, married Kevin Gordon, an American working in the financial industry, in 2004. Choi Yeon-je established a family in the United States, and Sun Woo-young also mentioned on the MBC variety show "Radio Star" in 2021 that her daughter is running a Korean medicine clinic.
Kim Tae-won, the leader and guitarist of the band Buhal (Revival), is also a celebrity with an American son-in-law. Last year, his daughter, singer Kim Seo-hyun, married Devin, an American. Kim Tae-won drew attention by revealing details about his daughter's marriage and meeting her husband on the TV Chosun variety show "Chosun's Love Fighters."
Thus, cases of celebrities' children crossing borders to enter international marriages continue to occur.
Meanwhile, Hong Seok-woo debuted as a comedian in KBS's 11th public recruitment class in 1994. He became known through appearances on KBS's "Bokso Daegwa" (Great Laughter Operation) and the movie "Tyrano's Claw," and served as the DJ for KBS Jeonju Happy FM's "Hong Seok-woo's Enjoyable Evening Walk" until last year, accompanying Jeonju citizens' commute home.
Currently, he hosts KBS Jeonju's "Morning Square North Jeolla" and is active as an MC at various events such as concerts, music halls, and festivals.
