On the afternoon of the 20th, a pre-wedding ceremony for Kim Jong-min was held on KBS 2TV's entertainment program '1 Night 2 Days'. Congratulations from Kim Jong-min's colleagues, who have worked together on '1 Night 2 Days', and a letter from his mother added to the emotional atmosphere.

On this day, the production team of '1 Night 2 Days' prepared a pre-wedding ceremony for Kim Jong-min, who has been with the program for 18 years. First, congratulations messages from his colleagues were revealed. Lee Soo-geun, who was together in the first season, sent a message saying, "I really congratulate our Jong-min, whom I love so much, on his marriage. I want to say, just live like me, Soo-geun hyung. Always respect your wife and become a husband who can be respected by her. I wonder if it would be nice to name the pretty niece-to-be 'Ilbaki.'"

Next, Cha Tae-hyun said, "Jong-min, congratulations on your marriage. I hope you have a really happy married life with your future wife, and the most important thing is to listen well to her. Whether it's a son or a daughter, I hope you have a child who looks just like you, Jong-min, and that in 20 years, a great talent will emerge that will be responsible for our country's entertainment."

And then Kim Jong-min shed tears at his mother's letter. Kim Jong-min's mother opened with, "To my beloved son, I have never once said, 'I love you, my son,' and as a somewhat cold and unapproachable mom, as you are getting married, I thought I would write a handwritten letter for the first time in a long time."

She continued, "I remember the words I said after your father passed away when I was still young: that I was the only man in our house and that from then on, I would act as the head of the family. I can still feel how heartbreaking and commendable that was, and it makes me choke up even now." She expressed how proud she is of her son, who has persevered and worked hard on his own through difficult times.

Kim Jong-min's mother also said, "I haven't done much for my son, and I have only received so much, but I am really happy that you are getting married and meeting a good partner, even if it is a bit late. I hope only happiness fills your future, and I will pray that the path you walk together is a flower road." She added, "Just thinking about a son like you or a daughter-in-law like you makes me smile. Thanks to you, I have lived a happy life until now, and I really hope you will be happy. Thank you and I love you," conveying her heartfelt message. Kim Jong-min was surprised and cried at his mother's letter.

Additionally, the production team recalled memories of Kim Jong-min's father, who passed away early and could not join his son's wedding. They restored family photos using AI to present Kim Jong-min with memories and his father's image. Seeing his father’s image, Kim Jong-min said, "I was so young back then that I can’t remember much. I don’t see the photos every day. I remember now. I used to think I didn't resemble him at all." and shed tears.

Although the reserved son Kim Jong-min conveyed his feelings to his parents through a video letter before his wedding. Kim Jong-min said, "Mother, Father. I am getting married," adding, "It’s a bit late that I’ve grown up like this. I wish you could have been with me, and I'm really sorry that I couldn’t even give you pocket money before you passed away. I wish I could have bought you something nice or given you gifts, and I'm really sorry I couldn't do that."

Kim Jong-min said, "Mom, now that you are already over seventy, it feels like time will fly by again, so I will try to do better for you day by day. Now that I am getting married, I will live happily. I will also stay healthy and make sure to visit Dad later. Thank you so much and I love you," expressing his affection. The members of '1 Night 2 Days' also shed tears at Kim Jong-min's pre-wedding ceremony.

On this day, Kim Jong-min tied the knot with a 11-year younger non-celebrity bride at the Shilla Hotel's Yeongbin-gwan in Jung-gu, Seoul.
