On April 20, 2025, Kim Jong-min’s wedding took place at Shilla Hotel in Jangchung-dong, Jung-gu, Seoul.

💌 The Confessions of an 11-Year Veteran to His Bride
In a pre-wedding interview, the most moving statement was, “Even if I’m lacking, please understand me generously.” He also promised to protect his non-celebrity bride, who is 11 years younger than him, saying, “I will take good care of her with what I learned in the entertainment industry.” 📸 A representative from the bride’s side revealed, “Kim Jong-min filled his schedule book with notes about his bride’s preferences.”
