First Lady Kim Hyekyung Attends 'First Wedding at the National Palace Museum': "It's So Beautiful"
First Lady Kim Hye-kyung visited the National Palace Museum of Korea at Gyeongbokgung Palace on October 2 to offer congratulations at the venue's first-ever outdoor wedding.
An Gwi-ryeong, Deputy Spokesperson for the Office of the President, stated in a written briefing on October 4 that prior to the start of the first-ever outdoor wedding at the ginkgo tree rest area of the National Palace Museum, Mrs. Kim visited the site to offer her congratulations to the "first couple" embarking on their new journey.
This wedding was organized to help the public enjoy cultural heritage in their daily lives and to reduce the financial burden on young couples preparing for marriage. The first wedding was celebrated by Laura Mai Schultz, who moved from Estonia and has been promoting hanbok and Korean traditional culture through her YouTube channel "Kimchi Ghost Mai," and her Korean husband.
Mrs. Kim met with Ms. Mai and said, "I heard that you are the very first to be married here," and "The weather is perfect, and it's truly beautiful." When Ms. Mai explained that guests had come from abroad for the wedding, Mrs. Kim praised her by saying, "You are doing a wonderful job as an ambassador."
