Rapper Yang Hong-won sparks debate after mentioning motel in marriage post

Rapper Yang Hong-won drew mixed reactions after posting wedding photos on the 19th with a message referencing a motel in Cheonho-dong. The couple, who have been dating since 2017, held their ceremony in Seoul following the announcement of their daughter's birth in November 2024.

Rapper Yang Hong-won (27) has drawn attention with his remarks regarding his marriage.

On the 19th, Yang posted wedding photos to his social media with the message, "Hyun-joo, I love you. I still feel like I'm walking into the OOO Motel in Cheonho-dong."

While the post was intended to express affection for his wife, netizens' reactions were divided over the expression mentioning a motel.

Comments ranged from criticisms calling it a "low-class expression typical of a rapper" and stating "there seems to be no respect for his wife at all" to "as long as they are happy, it's fine" and "I hope they have a happy family."

The couple began dating around 2017 and held their wedding ceremony at an undisclosed location in Seoul on this day. This comes approximately two years after they announced the birth of their daughter in November 2024. Rapper Swings served as the master of ceremonies for the wedding, and their daughter, Rua, served as a flower girl. The couple has been sharing their family life and wedding preparations through platforms such as the YouTube channel 'Yang Hong-won's Parenting Diary.' Yang won the first season of the Mnet audition program 'High School Rapper' in 2017 and was the runner-up on 'Show Me the Money 8' in 2019.
