21 Sept 01:10Key points summarised by AI
Bangkok's Korean Town hosted its first traditional Korean wedding, featuring Shin Yun-sup and Natcha, chosen from numerous couples who shared their love stories.
The Korean Cultural Centre organized the event to support couples whose weddings were delayed by COVID-19 and to actively promote the beauty of Korean traditional culture and Hanbok costumes.
The ceremony incorporated rich Korean traditions, such as the groom presenting a wild goose as a symbol of fidelity, exchanging vows, sharing traditional liquor, and uniquely blending in the Thai 'rod nam sang' blessing.
Attendees, including the bride and the South Korean Ambassador, lauded the ceremony for its deep respect for parents, stunning costumes, and its role in globally promoting Korean cultural heritage.
