First, there is a video that has been trending on social media lately. It looks like a wedding, but judging by the title, the reason for celebration seems a bit out of the ordinary.
Cho Seung-hyun, a mother of twins and an active writer, recently held a grand divorce ceremony to commemorate her new beginning.
The released video shows her wearing a dress and holding a bouquet while receiving congratulations from guests.
A refund center for congratulatory money was set up at the venue, and instead of lighting wedding candles, the ceremony included blowing out candles.
Cho explained that she thought a divorce is not much different from a marriage in the sense that it is also a new start.
She also stated that she arranged the gathering to celebrate starting a new life after going through a difficult time and to thank the people who stood by her.
The related video has drawn attention, surpassing 1.2 million views.
Among netizens, mixed reactions are emerging, with some saying, "We support your new beginning," alongside others asking, "Is a divorce really something that needs to be celebrated?"
