[SPOTV News = Reporter Choi Shin-ae] Kim Won-hoon and Um Ji-yoon staged an on-screen wedding, only to announce their split the following day.
On the 2nd, singer Paul Kim posted a congratulatory message for the on-screen couple — Kim Won-hoon and Um Ji-yoon — who starred in Shortbox's "Long-Term Relationship" segment, writing, "Congratulations on your marriage."
Kim Won-hoon replied, "Hyung (an informal term meaning 'older brother'), thank you so much for singing the congratulatory song, but we divorced today." The blunt response left Paul Kim momentarily stunned; his reply of repeated question marks drew laughter.
The pair held their ceremony on the 1st at a wedding hall in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam District, Seoul. Comedian Lee Soo-geun served as emcee, while Paul Kim, Heize and Jung Seung-hwan performed celebratory songs. High-profile figures such as Yoo Jae-suk and Shin Dong-yup also attended to offer congratulations.
Portraying a couple with a 15-year history in the show's narrative, the two tied the knot to serve as the content's finale. Notably, Shortbox subscribers were invited as guests, which added to the event's buzz.
