Son Dam Bi Ties Knot With Lee Kyu Hyuk
South Korean star Son Dam Bi had an intimate wedding, but people ended up curious why her two best friends Gong Hyo Jin and Jung Ryeo Won failed to attend the event.
"Mrs. Cop 2" actress married former national team speed skater Lee Kyu Hyuk on May 13 at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Hannam-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul. Their family and colleagues were present at their wedding.
"I Live Alone" cast members Park Na Rae, Kian, and Lim Soo Hyang were also spotted celebrating Son Dam Bi and Lee Kyu Hyuk's happy day.
Unfortunately, Gong Hyo Jin and Jung Ryeo Won, who are known to be Dam Bi's closest celebrity friends, did not make it to the ceremony.

Gong Hyo Jin, Jung Ryeo Won, and Son Dam Bi are known to be friends, and they had been vocal about their friendship on various reality shows. They've also showed affection for one another through SNS, calling each other "best friends." They mostly celebrate each other's birthdays together.
But their relationship seemed to change when Son Dam Bi was embroiled in the "fake chaebol" scandal in 2021.

In addition, Jung Ryeo Won was also said to have received an expensive car from Kim as a gift after Dam Bi introduced her to Kim.
