Gong Hyo-jin Caught the Flower Bouquet at Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin’s Wedding
The dating news resurfaced recently because there was an incident that happened unintentionally. The incident occurred at the wedding of Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin (The BinJin Wedding) on March 31, 2022. As one of Son Ye-jin’s close friends, Gong Hyo-jin was invited to the wedding. At the lavish ceremony, Ye-jin followed the long-standing tradition of Korean weddings, namely the flower bouquet toss tradition. Following the tradition, Ye-jin threw a flower bouquet to her unmarried female friends. The one who catches Ye-jin’s bouquet will be the next woman to marry immediately after Ye-jin. At that time, the friend who caught Ye-jin’s bouquet was Hyo-jin, so culturally it meant that Hyo-jin would be the next person to get married soon. Shortly after the incident occurred, many K-dramas fans reacted on social media, especially on Twitter. Some of them find the “accident” very cute, and some expressed their happiness to Hyo-jin, because it means that Hyo-jin is getting married soon. Here are some tweets regarding the incident.
