Actor Hong Seok-cheon shared the news of his adopted daughter's wedding. On the 9th, he appeared on TV Chosun's variety show "Joseon's Lover" looking nervous ahead of the formal meeting between families. He said, "You only understand after getting married. There are so many things to prepare, starting with the wedding hall."

Hong Seok-cheon revealed, "I have a daughter. I have a daughter and a son," explaining that he adopted and raised the children of his younger sister. He also showed a family relationship certificate with the children's names on it. He explained his reason for appearing on the show, saying, "My eldest daughter is getting married. I wanted to create a time to share what kind of life she has lived and what kind of future she dreams of."

Before the formal meeting, he said, "People have probably only seen what kind of person I am through broadcasts, so I'm a bit nervous." Hong Seok-cheon confessed, "I thought my life had nothing to do with marriage. But now my children are at the age to get married. I feel restless these days, thinking that Joo-eun is really going."

In an interview with the production team, Hong Seok-cheon's daughter said, "I am preparing to marry my boyfriend of two years." She calls Hong Seok-cheon "uncle" and said, "Actually, I recognize him as my dad, but calling him 'dad' feels awkward since I have been calling him 'uncle.' If he wants to be called 'dad,' then I can start calling him that."

During the broadcast, when the MCs asked, "Is 55-year-old Hong Seok-cheon appearing as a lover?" he explained the complexity of preparing for the wedding, saying, "I'm overwhelmed these days. There are so many things to prepare." The MCs were surprised, asking, "Is Seok-cheon getting married?" However, when it was revealed that the person getting married was his adopted daughter, everyone sighed in relief.

Hong Seok-cheon emphasized, "I have a daughter and a son. After my younger sister's divorce, I adopted her children, and now the eldest daughter is getting married." He added, "I created a time to talk about the life she has lived and the future she dreams of." He explained that the in-laws live in Busan, so he traveled from Seoul to Busan for the formal meeting.

He said, "The other parents have probably only seen me on TV, so I want to tell them directly what kind of person I am." Expressing his special feelings about his daughter's wedding, he added, "I used to think I would just attend other people's weddings, but now my children are at the age to get married."

Regarding the reason for adoption, Hong Seok-cheon explained, "After my younger sister's divorce, she found new love but met a man she should never have met. She had to escape from a bad situation." He said, "After knowing her situation, I told her, 'I'll take full responsibility, come up here.' So they came with the children late at night," showing his special affection for his family.

Hong Joo-eun introduced herself as "uncle's daughter" and said, "I am preparing to marry my boyfriend of two years." When the production team asked, "Hong Seok-cheon is your legal father, so why do you call him uncle?" Joo-eun replied, "I recognized him as my dad a long time ago. I just don't know if he wants to be called 'dad.'"

Hong Seok-cheon confessed, "I never originally thought about adoption." He said, "After my younger sister's failed marriage, she was sensitive to others' eyes. The atmosphere was also that 'there is no divorce in our family.'" He added, "She is a woman before being a mother. I worried if the children would become a burden when she started a new life for her happiness."

When the law changed allowing an uncle to adopt a niece or nephew, Hong Seok-cheon said, "I told my sister, 'If you find new love, go ahead. I'll take care of the kids.' So I adopted them." His daughter Joo-eun said, "From that day, my life completely changed. I gained psychological stability," and added, "I don't regret being adopted."

Hong Seok-cheon smiled as a father, saying, "What meaning would work and earning money have without you?" He revealed his nervousness before the formal meeting, saying, "I don't get nervous even when meeting the president, but I am nervous about the in-laws." The broadcast showing Hong Seok-cheon's daughter's wedding preparations has drawn attention to their new family story.
