The couple’s friends, Dongjoon Lim and Sookyo Jung of Post Archive Faction, created a custom suit for Hu. They opted for a timelessly tailored suit with slightly exaggerated details, like super sharp lapels, in a textured Japanese fabric. Inside the jacket lining, Lim and Jung had sewn in a hidden personal note for the couple. Another close friend, Minjae Kim, created a custom resin floral brooch for the groom, and he also donned Balenciaga Derby shoes. For the couple’s ring exchange, Park and Hu wore traditional rings inspired by those from the Joseon Dynasty, to meaningfully honor their Korean heritage during the ceremony.
When it came to the after-party, Park changed into another look by Gyouree Kim, a confectionery-sweet frilled strapless number, with patent white leather shoes that had charming jester-like curling toes—a look for dancing all night in. Hu slipped on a jacket by Kim, layered over an Ann Demeulemeester sheer cardigan, paired with Maison Margiela fringe pants, and patent Balenciaga Romeo shoes.
Guests were given a clear, and—characteristically for the couple—very fun dress code: “Romantic clown.” A loose palette of black, burgundy, and cream was suggested, and the party lived up to it: mustardy waistcoats under wine-red suits, white rose-adorned evening jackets. “I really wanted our guests to feel like part of the visual story of the day and to stand out alongside us,” says Park. “I loved the idea of this slightly theatrical, romantic Western aesthetic appearing in the middle of a quiet rural farm in Jeju. That contrast—elegant, dramatic clothing set against rows of tangerine trees and the natural landscape—created a really beautiful tension that made the whole atmosphere feel even more special.”
The initial plan was not to have a ceremony, instead keeping it as a small gathering with friends. “A few weeks before the wedding, my best friend offered to officiate, and our friends insisted they wanted a moment that would make them cry. So we decided to create a small ceremony after all,” says Park. “I felt overwhelmed with a kind of pure joy I hadn’t experienced since childhood. Walking out and seeing everyone we loved gathered on this small island so far away from home was incredibly moving. There was something almost spiritual about the moment.” Despite a few hiccups leading up to their big day, they were able to embrace the moment and feel fully present. How did Hu do that? By MC-ing the entire wedding party, and constantly rallying people to the dance floor. “Watching him have that much fun was infectious—it created this level of energy that spread through everyone and made the whole celebration feel incredibly alive,” says Park.
Traditional Korean music soundtracked the processional, while Korean national treasure Lee Soo-yeon and trainees performed for the walk down the aisle. Following the nuptials, two singers performed a traditional Korean folk song that celebrates newlyweds.
The food, of course, was a focal point: this included serving guests a classic, celebratory banquet noodle dish called janchi guksu, as well as Ojina’s banchan, a spin on traditional Korean side dishes which were prepared on the farm. Their friend Hyunsoo welcomed guests with a serving of homemade rice wine, first chung-ju, and later, tak-ju. Another friend, Youngjae, who runs a restaurant the couple loves in Seoul, created a special dish for the wedding: a Korean-style paella cooked over a wood fire using fresh seafood from Jeju. Hongogi served his signature heritage pork, with the help of his friend Key-Meal. Wine was curated by Wildduck & Canteen, with Hwayo soju that kept everyone going all night. “Food and drink became this beautiful thread throughout the entire day, connecting our friends, the place, and the spirit of the celebration,” says Park.
