  • Lee Hyori breaks down in tears at Kim Jong Min’s wedding – find out why

    On the May 7 episode of Channel A’s variety show The Recent Life of Men - Groom’s Class, Kim Jong Min shared heartfelt memories from his wedding day, revealing the touching moment when singer Lee Hyo Ri was brought to tears.

    Kim Jong Min opened up about the most emotional part of his wedding—the congratulatory song. He expressed deep gratitude toward singers Lee Juk and Lyn, who performed at the event.

    During a conversation with Shin Ji, Kim Jong Min recalled that Lee Hyori couldn’t hold back her tears after hearing Lee Juk’s performance. Shin Ji added, “Lee Hyo Ri unnie cried so much after hearing Lee Juk sunbae’s song.” Kim Jong Min agreed, saying, “Hyo Ri cried a lot” and remembered the moment fondly.

    Shin Ji also shared a funny story, mentioning that comedian Yoo Jae Seok joked, “Lee Juk worked harder on the wedding song than on his own concert.” The atmosphere was both emotional and filled with laughter.

    However, Kim Jong Min’s wife, who is a huge fan of TVXQ, chose their performance as her favorite. Kim Jong Min revealed, “My wife is a member of TVXQ’s fan club, Cassiopeia.”

    Guest Shin Jin Hwa praised TVXQ’s dedication, saying, “Two members of TVXQ came all the way from Japan just for the wedding. They went back the very next day. They came just for the wedding's congratulatory song.”

    Kim Jong Min laughed as he recalled a surprising moment, saying, “When TVXQ came out to sing, Hiyung (Kim Jong Min’s wife’s nickname) let go of my hand. I was so surprised.”

    Kim Jong Min, who tied the knot with a non-celebrity woman 11 years younger than him on April 20, seemed touched by the love and support from his guests, especially the heartfelt performances that made his big day even more special.
