“i’m being careful and although it’s a little awkward!
i am the most grateful and happiest receiving blessings from pandadeuls, more than anyone else!
thank you so much and let’s meet for a long time🧡”
q: you’ve been dating for about 10 years — how do you work things out when you fight?
🤵🏻: in the beginning, for about 4–5 years, we really fought a lot.
🤵🏻: when it came to each other… i think we showed everything. we didn’t hide anything from the start.
👰🏻♀️: when oppa gets angry, he cries.
🤵🏻: you have to explain why i cry too.
👰🏻♀️: because he couldn’t really take his anger out on me.
🤵🏻: but the men will understand. it’s not like i can take it out on her.
👰🏻♀️: and i really liked that about him. when he gets angry, it’s not that he becomes scary or anything — he just cries by himself.
👰🏻♀️: and oppa, what did i look like when i got angry?
🤵🏻: when she got angry… i was always the one driving, and bomi would punch the car window.
👰🏻♀️: more than anything, we’re both really good at reflecting on ourselves. i think that’s why, even when we fight, we’ve gradually become much better matched.
q: between apink and stayc, who means more to you?
🤵🏻: stayc.
🤵🏻: apink is just…
👰🏻♀️: let me go close the door first.
🤵🏻: then between ju jihoon and rado, who do you think is more handsome?
👰🏻♀️: ju jihoon, of course.
🤵🏻: in what way?
👰🏻♀️: you look like you took ju jihoon’s photo with you and got plastic surgery.
😭🤣🤣
q: what was the biggest reason that made you decide, “i should marry this person”?
🤵🏻: i think that was the first time i really felt that i wanted to pour the energy i usually spend on myself into bomi, and really devote it to our family too. and also, people say that when musicians get married, inspiration doesn’t come as easily anymore. but after hearing stories from my seniors, that they kept creating even after getting married, i actually thought i might be able to do even better after marriage.
👰🏻♀️: for me, it was how consistent he is. consistent… steadfast… that kind of thing. i thought, if it’s this person, then even when i become a grandma, he’ll still find me cute. i mean, i felt like even when i become a grandma, he would still adore me. if we get married, there was one thing i wished he would fix. these days he’s improved a lot, but there was a period when he played golf way too much, and that was a little hard for me. but since golf is basically his only hobby now, i do respect that, and these days he’s cut down on it a lot.
🤵🏻: i have cut down a lot. because it’s not the season right now. once it’s in season again, it’ll be straight to “nice shot.”
👰🏻♀️: separating the recycling…
🤵🏻: i’m good at separating the recycling.
👰🏻♀️: the toilet…
🤵🏻: *tmi info
👰🏻♀️: other than that, there’s nothing.
chorong’s congratulatory speech to bomi (rough trans!
this is my first time in my life giving a wedding speech, so after bomi asked me to do it, i thought a lot about what kind of congratulatory words i should say.
everyone, please give her a round of applause.
our park chorong still has a long way to go, so let’s try again.
although i am standing here alone today, i would like to offer my congratulations to the two of you on behalf of our members, who have been together for the past 15 years.
to be honest, as i was writing this, i wasn’t very good at controlling the length, so it became a little long. but i will try to deliver each and every word with sincerity.
we used to ask each other, “who do you think will get married first?” and “who do you think we’ll marry?” so it still doesn’t quite feel real that the day has come for me to give a wedding speech like this.
when i first saw bomi trying on her wedding dress, so many indescribable emotions came over me.
i met bomi when she was 18 years old, still wearing a school uniform. over the past 15 years, like close friends, we have gone through so many things together and shared countless emotions.
we spent so many days crying and laughing while chasing the same dream. and now, seeing bomi become a proper adult and start a new family with the person she truly loves feels so amazing. at the same time, what stood out to me first was how brave bomi’s choice was.
since she was young, bomi has always made the people around her happy with her bright energy. so now, i hope bomi can live while focusing a little more on her own life and her own happiness.
for 15 years, bomi has always done her very best for our team. so i sincerely congratulate and bless her as another kind of happiness has found its way to her.
now that bomi has gained another eternal person on her side, apart from us members, i hope she lives happier and more joyfully than anyone else.
our bomi, who has now become my senior in life — from now on, i’ll learn even more from you by your side.
and when bomi is having a hard time, or when she should be happy, please always stay beside her reliably.
because it’s you, oppa, i think i can send bomi off with peace of mind.
to be honest, when i first heard that the two of you were seeing each other, i think i was honestly more worried at first. but after watching you closely over the years, i came to realise that you are truly a good person whom all of us can feel assured about. i think bomi was also able to grow into an even more beautiful woman because of that.
thank you sincerely for always staying by bomi’s side so dependably.
oppa, just as you have done until now, and just as you confidently said, i hope you will never let go of bomi’s hand, and that no matter what path you walk, the two of you will walk it slowly and well together.
watching the two of you, i often felt, “so this is what a healthy relationship looks like.”
now, even without doing anything special, you have become people who quietly stay by each other’s side, giving each other stability and peace.
because i know that this kind of trust is not something that can be built easily, i respected your relationship even more.
just as the two of you have loved and respected each other beautifully for a long time, i hope that in your marriage, you will continue to cheer each other on, quietly embrace each other no matter what happens, and — compared to when you were dating — move forward with a little more responsibility.
with both of your bright energies coming together, i have no doubt that you will live happily and joyfully.
rado oppa, since you have briefly entered a place with many sisters-in-law, please always stay alert, and please take good care of our bomi.
it was truly an honour to deliver these congratulatory words to two people whom i cherish and love so much. i’m really looking forward to the future the two of you will create together.
i will support you for life.
eunji to bomi: “please be happy. love each other even more. we’ll support and cherish you for a long, long time. we’ll be by your side too. congratulations.”
😩😩😩 crying myself to sleep tonight goodnight
