Former short track national team athlete Kong Sang-jung (30) and doctor Seo Min-hyung (30), who reunited on Tving's "EXchange Season 3", tied the knot on the 20th and became a married couple.
On this day, "EXchange 3" cast members including Lee Seo-kyung, Lee Joo-won, Choi Chang-jin, and Lee Yu-kyung attended the wedding, sharing moments from the venue on social media and celebrating the couple's new beginning. Seo Dong-jin and Song Da-hye also left messages saying, "Be happy" and "Congratulations to such a pretty couple." With this, the two became the first married couple among participants from the "EXchange" series.
Kong Sang-jung and Seo Min-hyung reunited and became a final couple on Tving's "EXchange 3," which aired in 2024. The two drew attention as a couple with the shortest dating and breakup periods, having appeared on the program just six weeks after breaking up following a three-month relationship. They showed unwavering affection for each other during the show and emerged as a final couple. Afterward, they continued their relationship for about two years outside of the broadcast.
Previously, Kong Sang-jung personally announced her marriage news through her social media last April. At the time, she stated, "We've come this far bickering, fighting, making up, and loving each other busier than anyone else. We had many differences, but I am learning the joy of adapting to each other, and my heart for understanding has grown a bit more. I am still learning how not to fight."
Regarding the wedding preparation process, she shared, "Last winter, Min-hyung booked the wedding venue without my knowledge, and that's how our wedding preparations began. After receiving a cute proposal and preparing one by one with a fluttering heart, time has flown by in a flash." She added, "Passing the approaching summer, I am becoming an autumn bride. Please continue to send warm support so that we can remain a couple filled with as much laughter and love as we do now."
Kong Sang-jung is a gold medalist in the women's 3,000m relay short track at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, and since retiring in 2021, she has been working as a short track starter referee. Seo Min-hyung works as a doctor.
Meanwhile, amid recent news of weddings among "EXchange" cast members, Season 1 participant Ko Min-young also drew attention by announcing her marriage last April after reuniting with her romantic partner.
