Hong Seok-cheon's Star-Studded Birthday Bash: A Surprise Wedding Announcement and a 'Find the Real Son-in-Law' Game

TV personality Hong Seok-cheon celebrated his 55th birthday with a twist on the latest episode of TV Chosun's 'Joseon's Love'.

During the celebration, Hong announced his daughter Hong Joo-eun's upcoming wedding, revealing plans for a grand invitation gathering of over 200 guests.

Hong's birthday parties have always been a star-studded affair, with past attendees including celebrities like Kim Jaejoong, Kim Heechul, Lee Sang-bong, No Min-woo, Lee Min-woo, Kim Do-hoon, Jung Gun-joo, and Lee Jin-woo.

Hong shared, "Last year, I skipped the party, and people asked why. This year, with my daughter's wedding, I wanted to make it special." His daughter, Hong Joo-eun, expressed her excitement, saying, "Is Kim Jaejoong coming? I was his biggest fan in elementary school."

Hong teased the possibility of other celebrity guests, mentioning, "If schedules allow, Park Bo-gum and Lee Byung-hun might attend." His manager and friends humorously suggested inviting stars like Lee Jin-wook, (G)I-DLE's Miyeon, G-Dragon, and Jang Won-young.

Planning a larger-than-usual party, Hong emphasized, "This is all for my daughter. I don't usually go this big, but it's her wedding."

As various notable figures attended the party, Hong introduced them, stating, "Today, I'm not the main character. There are many people here who can benefit from meeting each other, potentially leading to casting opportunities."

Adding a fun twist, Hong hosted a 'Find the Real Son-in-Law' game, heightening the event's excitement. He joked, "My daughter is a pro at changing boyfriends. She brought the man she's marrying," as he introduced both the real and fake sons-in-law on stage.

Standing among model-like handsome men, the real son-in-law, Lim Seung-woo, humorously remarked, "I can't tell if this is a birthday party or a roast for me," but confidently promised, "I'll take care of your retirement, father-in-law." Hong warmly embraced him, adding a playful kiss, bringing laughter to the celebration.
