Kim Jun-yeon, a florist who made the top 20 on an idol audition show in 2012 and later taught BTS members flower arranging, married comedian Yun Jin-sol in Seoul on the 18th.

A comedian and a florist, one year apart

Yun Jin-sol was born in 1990 and is a comedian who became known for playing the "Seojun's Mom" character in content on the YouTube channel Psick Univ. The character is a mother who lives in a new town and raises her son. Reports say that after the character took off, Yun appeared in a range of broadcasts and YouTube content. Wedding coverage also introduced Yun as "Seojun's Mom" and reviewed her career. Kim Jun-yeon, the groom, was born in 1991, a year younger than Yun, and is not an entertainer. He has worked as a florist.

From an idol audition to BTS's variety show

According to reports, Kim appeared on the JTBC idol audition program Made in U in 2012 and reached the top 20. He was influenced by his father, a first-generation florist, studied at an overseas flower school and worked as a florist. One report says he now runs a flower café. Wedding coverage also noted his appearances on TV and flower-related programs.

In 2020 he appeared in the florist episode of BTS's own variety show Run BTS!, where he taught the members flower arranging. In 2022 he was on JTBC's dating reality show Serious About Marriage. Reports covered both his past as an idol audition contestant and his activities after he switched to floristry. His career is summarized below.

Introduced by a trainer, together about two years

The couple met through an acquaintance. Reports consistently say the person who made the introduction was a health trainer who had worked as Yun's personal trainer. They dated for about two years. Some reports wrote "about two years" and others "more than two years," while the original report said they had been together about two years. No news of the relationship was made public during that time, according to reports.

The announcement: "I'm finally getting married"

On the 12th, ahead of the ceremony, Yun announced the plans on her social media. "I now have my closest partner, someone to play, laugh and eat good food with for the rest of my life. I'm finally getting married," she wrote. She called her groom her "closest partner" and said she had wanted to tell people one by one but could not reach many of them because of busy schedules, asking them not to feel hurt. She also wrote that she was getting married that week. According to reports, she posted the same message on her YouTube channel. With no dating news beforehand, the groom's name and occupation emerged only in later reports, and on the wedding day his name and TV history were reported as well.

Bridal shower and the dogs' "Superman"

On the 17th, Yun held a bridal shower with fellow comedians Kim Ji-yu and Kim Jin-ju. She posted a photo with Kim Jun-yeon and wrote "Let's do well." Yun remains active in broadcasts and YouTube content, including the "Seojun's Mom" character, while Kim has worked with flowers.

Yun's dogs, Kkomdi and Baegil, were mentioned as the couple's family and appeared in a post by Kim on the 13th. Kim wrote that he used to be the "big brother" who played with and walked the dogs, but Yun had introduced him as their dad. "I don't know how many happy times we will be given, but for as long as we have, I hope we cry and laugh a lot in that world and build happy memories," he wrote, adding the line "Your Superman, Dad."
