After three years of publicly sharing their love story, comedians Kim Jun-ho and Kim Ji-min are tying the knot today, July 13, 2025, in a grand ceremony held at the Grand InterContinental Parnas Hotel in Gangnam-gu, Seoul. The wedding, which promises to be one of the most star-studded events of the year, will gather over 1,200 guests, including many celebrities from across the entertainment industry.
The couple, both well-known figures in South Korea’s comedy scene, first officially confirmed their relationship in April 2022. They met as senior and junior colleagues through KBS’s public comedian program—Kim Jun-ho being a 14th-term graduate and Kim Ji-min a 21st-term. Their relationship had been the subject of rumors for several years before they made it public, and since then, they have openly shared their journey, including their wedding preparations, through various entertainment shows and YouTube channels.
Today’s ceremony will be hosted by Lee Sang-min, a member of the group 'Roo' who has appeared alongside Kim Jun-ho on popular SBS shows such as 'My Little Old Boy' and 'Dolsing Fourmen.' The musical celebrations will feature performances by acclaimed singers Gumy and Byun Jin-seob, adding a melodic touch to the joyous occasion.
Kim Ji-min, speaking candidly on MBC FM4U’s 'Two O’Clock Date Ahn Young-mi' radio show earlier this month, revealed some of the emotional challenges leading up to the wedding. She said, "Even though the wedding is this week, it still doesn’t feel real, and the process has been so tough that I just want it all to be over soon." She also reflected on how their high-profile status has made their wedding more public and lively than some might expect, noting, "Others keep their weddings quiet, but we’ve been quite loud about ours."
The couple’s wedding invitation beautifully encapsulates their journey and future hopes: "Having met as senior and junior colleagues and spent precious time as lovers, we now become a couple to share eternal moments together. We aim to be a truly fun comedian couple." This sentiment highlights not only their personal bond but also their shared commitment to their craft and to making each other—and their audiences—laugh.
Kim Jun-ho, 49, was previously married in 2006 to a fellow performer, a second-generation actress, but the marriage ended in divorce in 2018. They have no children. For Kim Ji-min, 41, this is her first marriage. Together, they will become the 25th comedian couple in South Korea, following in the footsteps of other notable pairs like Kim Hae-jun and Kim Seung-hye.
Despite the excitement of their wedding day, the couple plans to dive straight back into their careers without taking a honeymoon. Kim Ji-min is preparing for filming on tvN’s 'Kim Chang-ok Show Global' in the United States, while Kim Jun-ho is focusing on organizing the 13th Busan International Comedy Festival, scheduled for late August 2025. Kim Ji-min praised her fiancé’s dedication on the radio, saying, "I admired how hard he works on his comedy. Watching him build the Busan Comedy Festival from its first edition to its 13th was truly impressive and made him even more admirable as a man." This dedication clearly reflects the couple’s shared passion for their profession.
The wedding, set to begin at 6 PM, is expected to be a dazzling event, with over 1,200 guests attending, including many from the entertainment world, emphasizing the couple’s wide-reaching influence and warm connections. Their popularity and openness about their relationship have made them beloved figures to fans and colleagues alike.
Kim Ji-min and Kim Jun-ho’s union is not just a personal milestone but a celebration of a shared life in comedy. Their journey from colleagues to life partners, marked by mutual respect and affection, is inspiring to many. As they step into this new chapter, they do so with the promise of continuing to bring joy and laughter both on and off the stage.
In a world often marked by fleeting celebrity romances, Kim Jun-ho and Kim Ji-min’s steady partnership stands out as a testament to enduring love and professional camaraderie. Their wedding today is more than a ceremony—it’s a joyful affirmation of that bond, witnessed by a community that has supported them through every step.
