Two pairs of K-pop idols will be getting married today, May 26, in South Korea.
Super Junior member Ryeowook, 36, and Ari, 29, a former member of K-pop girl group Tahiti, will hold their wedding in Seoul.
It was in September 2020 when Ryeowook confirmed that he was dating Ari.

Last March, he announced their wedding.
“As you all know, I have a friend that I am seeing. During the time we spent together, I naturally developed a desire to become another family with her. It is not a sudden decision, but we have been thinking about it for a long time and after a long discussion with the members and company, we will be getting married at the end of May this spring,” he said.
SM Entertainment, Super Junior’s agency, said, “The wedding will be held privately out of consideration for the bride-to-be and her family, so we ask for the understanding of fans and reporters.”
Meanwhile, Thunder, the brother of Sandara Park and former member of K-pop boy band MBLAQ, will get married to Mimi, a former member of girl group Gugudan.

They announced their wedding plans last year.
In July last year, Thunder and Mimi appeared on the TV show “Second House 2” and revealed their relationship.
In an Instagram post on May 23, Thunder wrote, “There are only two days left until my wedding with Mimi haha. It still doesn't feel real, but it's a day I've been looking forward to. I'm already so nervous…”
