The blissful wedding celebrations of singer and entertainer Kim Jong Min took an unexpected turn when veteran artist Insooni, a beloved senior in the Korean entertainment industry, unintentionally revealed the identity of Kim's non-celebrity wife through a social media post.

The private wedding took place on April 20 at the luxurious Yeongbingwan Hall of The Shilla Hotel in Seoul, attended by close friends, family, and a few entertainment industry colleagues. Kim Jong Min, a longtime member of the iconic co-ed group Koyote and a cherished figure in Korean variety television, exchanged vows with his fiancée, an entrepreneur 11 years his junior, in an intimate ceremony that was carefully organized to protect the bride’s anonymity.

However, amid the warmth and emotion of the day, Insooni, moved by the sight of the radiant couple, shared a celebratory photo on her personal social media account. The image, which captured Kim Jong Min and his bride smiling joyfully, inadvertently exposed the face of the non-celebrity bride, a detail that the couple had taken deliberate steps to keep private.

Realizing her mistake, Insooni quickly deleted the post, but not before screenshots began to circulate online, drawing widespread attention. On April 21, Insooni addressed the matter directly, posting a heartfelt apology that reflected her deep regret and sorrow over the unintended breach.

As quoted by Kbizoom, “It’s Monday, the start of a new week,” she wrote. “A dear junior of mine had a wedding, which was meant to be private. I didn’t realize that, and because the couple looked so beautiful together, I ended up posting a photo.” She continued, “This morning, I sincerely apologized to the bride and groom. They told me it was okay, but my heart still feels heavy and full of regret. I should’ve been more careful and protective… To the couple, I’m truly sorry, and I sincerely pray that your future is filled with happiness and love.”

Insooni’s genuine remorse struck a chord with many online, with numerous fans and netizens expressing understanding and support. Many pointed out that the veteran singer clearly meant no harm and acted out of pure emotion in the spirit of celebration. In a world where social media can turn private moments into viral content within seconds, even well-intentioned actions can have unintended consequences.

Especially for celebrities marrying non-celebrities, individuals not accustomed to the pressures of public scrutiny, maintaining strict privacy is often not just a preference but a necessity for peace and well-being.

Despite the hiccup, the overwhelming sentiment among fans and attendees remains one of joy and celebration for the newlyweds. As the newly married couple steps into this exciting new chapter of their lives, they do so surrounded by the love and support of fans, friends, and family and with well-wishes from a veteran singer who, despite her misstep, clearly holds them in the deepest affection.
