Jo Se Ho’s Wedding Attracts A-List Crowd

Jo Se Ho’s wedding drew around 800-900 guests, including numerous notable figures from the Korean entertainment industry. Actor Song Seung Heon, who attended, humorously remarked on the significant guest list, joking,

“I went because I was afraid I’d be left out. It felt like the right decision—going forward, I think the Korean entertainment industry will be divided into those who attended Jo Se Ho’s wedding and those who didn’t.”

Yoo Jae Suk’s Wedding Gift Generates Buzz

During a recent episode of You Quiz on the Block, Jo Se Ho openly talked about the gift Yoo Jae Suk gave him for his wedding, though he refrained from revealing the exact amount. Jo remarked,

“I can’t reveal the amount, but Yoo Jae Suk gave so much (for my wedding),”

prompting Yoo to interject playfully,

“No, don’t talk about it.”

The comment sparked interest, especially given Jo’s history of gifting a relatively small sum at Yoo’s wedding.

Jo Se Ho’s Modest Wedding Gift to Yoo Jae Suk

Jo Se Ho first spoke about his wedding gift to Yoo Jae Suk in 2008, disclosing that he had only given 50,000 KRW (around 36 USD) at the time. Jo explained that as a young comedian, he was financially constrained, recalling,

“When Jae Suk got married (in 2008), I only gave 50,000 KRW. I didn’t even eat (at the wedding). At the time, I only had 130,000 KRW in my wallet. If I gave 100,000 KRW, my living expenses would have been tight, so I settled for 50,000 KRW.”

In response, Yoo Jae Suk had humorously reassured Jo by saying,

“I was so grateful. When Jo Se Ho gets married, I’ll give double that amount. I’ll skip the meal too, right?”

Though Yoo had joked about giving 100,000 KRW, Jo’s reaction on You Quiz on the Block suggested that Yoo contributed significantly more, displaying the senior comedian’s warmth and support for his junior colleague.
