South Korean star Irene Kim exchanged vows in a private yet star-studded ceremony in Seoul on May 23
Fashion icon Irene Kim tied the knot in Seoul on May 23, in a private yet star-studded affair. The ceremony showcased the bride’s impeccable taste while preserving an air of mystery around her new husband, businessman John.
Since announcing her engagement in January, Kim has shielded her husband’s identity—and this weekend, guests respectfully cropped his face from shared photos, adding a layer of exclusivity. The bride dazzled in a white strapless mermaid gown by Miss Sohee and the guest list featured an illustrious mix of friends and influencers, including Jessica Jung, who caught Kim’s bouquet in a viral moment, and Astro member Cha Eun-Woo. Filipino actress Anne Curtis and fashion influencer Bryanboy also shared glimpses of the celebration. From Hong Kong, Calvin Wang, Vincent Raffin, Federico Tan, Eleanor Lam and Emily Lam-Ho also attended. See all the fun through the lens of our Tatler community below.
