Jun Ji Hyun Sets an Example for Celebrity Weddings with Donation

Jun Ji Hyun held her wedding without any support from large companies, and she also revealed that she would donate the monetary gifts she received for the wedding to charity.

At the ceremony held on April 13 at the Seoul Shilla Hotel, Jun Ji Hyun wed her groom Choi Joon Hyuk, and then revealed through her agency on April 14 that "the monetary gifts for the wedding will be donated to an organization supported by designer Lee Young Hee."

Even when her fans tried to gather money to send her flower wreaths and gifts, she had said, "I plan on not receiving any flower wreaths, so unfortunately, I won′t be able to receive the gifts my fanclub has been preparing."

She had stated that she will be turning down flower wreaths even during her preparations for the wedding. She also said, "In order to hold the ceremony quietly and to make it more meaningful, we aren′t receiving any support from companies."

After her marriage became known near the beginning of the year, Jun Ji Hyun continued to turn down offers for support from wedding related companies. In the press conference held before her wedding, she had revealed that she had bought her dress herself. Jun Ji Hyun′s stylist had brought the dress in from overseas.

For the press conference, she wore a dress by British designer Jenny Packham, and a Reem Acra dress from America for her actual wedding. The dresses were expensive, but rather than be simply luxurious, they were more graceful in style.

Jun Ji Hyun also turned down offers for makeup, and had her makeup done by her original makeup artist Bae Kyung Ran.

Because Jun Ji Hyun has to shoot the film Berlin soon, the couple pushed back its honeymoon to the fall. Honeymoons also draw in a lot of support from companies, but because the couple decided on not going on the honeymoon yet, all chances for support were cut off.
