Singer and actor Lee Seung-gi asked broadcaster Kang Ho-dong to host his wedding, but it was reported that he turned it down.
In an interview with Ilgan Sports published on the 3rd, actor and entrepreneur Son Ji-chang told the story behind Lee Seung-gi’s wedding ceremony with broadcaster Yoo Jae-seok instead of Kang Ho-dong.
Son Ji-chang, who is said to have overseen the wedding ceremony due to Lee Seung-gi’s prospective mother-in-law and actress Gyeon Mi-ri, said, “Lee Seung-gi asked Kang Ho-dong to host the wedding, but Kang Ho-dong declined, saying ‘society is disrespectful’.” I decided to tell you,” he said.
Then, he explained, “Yoo Jae-seok will host the first part of the wedding, and Lee Soo-geun will host the second part. The congratulatory song is sung by Lee Jeok.”
The wedding is said to be held without officiating. Instead, it is known that many colleagues, including Kang Ho-dong, will congratulate them in various ways.
Lee Seung-gi is a representative figure of the ‘Kang Ho-dong line’. He first met Kang Ho-dong through the variety show ‘Find the X-Man’ in 2004, and later worked on ‘1 Night 2 Days’ and ‘Strong Heart’ together.
When the news spread that Lee Seung-gi entrusted Yoo Jae-seok to host the wedding, rumors of a discord between Lee Seung-gi and Kang Ho-dong were raised in some online communities. Some speculated that Kang Ho-dong was conscious of the noise surrounding Lee Seung-gi and Lee Da-in’s marriage.
Meanwhile, Lee Seung-gi and Lee Da-in are getting married on April 7 at the Grand Intercontinental Seoul Parnas in Samseong-dong, Gangnam, Seoul. It is known that the wedding will be held privately, and only relatives and close acquaintances will be invited.
