Actor Kim Soo Hyun's father Kim Chung Hoon has tied the knot with his girlfriend. The 'Queen of Tears' star refrained from attending the wedding, as the couple wanted a quiet ceremony. The singer's agency has now released a statement.
Kim Soo Hyun's father, Kim Chung Hoon, got married this weekend. According to the singer's agency, Chung Hoon held a private wedding ceremony on April 13 at his home in Gangnam, Seoul. Since the couple wanted a quiet ceremony, Kim Soo Hyn sought understanding from his father and did not attend the wedding to avoid burdening them.
Kim Chung Hoon's close singer friends were in attendance at the wedding. Veteran trot singer Kim Bum Ryong sang the congratulatory song, while broadcaster Jo Young Gu hosted the event.
