Model Choi Yeon-soo, the daughter of renowned chef Choi Hyun-seok, has officially tied the knot with Kim Tae-hyun, the vocalist of the band Dickpunks.

Choi Yeon-soo announced the joyous occasion on her social media on the 21st, sharing her excitement with fans. "I'm getting married today!! For those curious about the ceremony, I'll be uploading a pre-wedding video on YouTube around the ceremony time...! I'd be grateful if you could watch it via the YouTube link in my profile. We will live beautifully," she wrote.

Later, at 4 PM, coinciding with the ceremony's start, Choi uploaded the pre-wedding video to her YouTube channel, 'Yeon-doo It.' The video featured cherished memories of the couple, set to Dickpunks' song 'COMMA.' In a video message, Kim Tae-hyun expressed his heartfelt feelings, saying, "To my beloved Yeon-soo. I never imagined that you, who simply loved my music, would end up meeting me for so long and so deeply. We've certainly taken a long route. You and I both know very well how hard we tried to protect each other, how much we cried, laughed, and endured. Still, I'm always grateful thinking of you trying so diligently to protect each other."

He continued, "Today, on our 2000th day since meeting, we are getting married. Now, as we become one in the name of love, who are each other's lives. I'm so glad you are at the end of this path. The paths we've walked together were small miracles that seeped into ordinary days. I want to gather those miracles and walk with you every day hereafter. All my days will be for you. From the one who will be your eternal song."

Choi Yeon-soo responded emotionally, "To my beloved Tae-hyun. This day has finally come. Thinking of you, who silently protected me through so many obstacles and difficult times since the day we first met, fills my heart. Thank you for staying by my side unwavering through all that time." She added, "Middle schooler Choi Yeon-soo, who was happy listening to your music, is now able to be happy by your side for a lifetime. From now on, I will be your closest fan, cheering you on beside Kim Tae-hyun. I hope all our days are filled with songs of love. Let's get married now," she concluded, bringing tears to viewers' eyes.

Choi Yeon-soo and Kim Tae-hyun, who is 12 years her senior, revealed their relationship last October, with marriage intentions. Choi, a long-time fan of Dickpunks, dated Kim for four years before their wedding today. Notably, Choi had previously shared how she overcame her father Choi Hyun-seok's initial objections due to their significant age gap, advising that showing dedication to the elder's parents is more effective than direct confrontation.

Choi Yeon-soo is actively pursuing a career as a model and YouTuber, showcasing her diverse talents beyond her family's culinary legacy. She maintains a close connection with her fans through her personal YouTube channel, 'Yeon-doo It.' Following her marriage, she is expected to continue her promising career path.
