DinDin added, "In the past, at singer Sleepy's wedding, I spent several million won. Honestly, I really regret it. Back then, I didn't know much about the world, and since a close friend was getting married, I got excited and gave gifts like a refrigerator and a clothing steamer, spending almost 7 to 8 million won." He continued, "That's why Sleepy jokes that he curses me not to get married," drawing laughter.

Previously, Kim Jongkook shared a story about congratulatory money on the October 21 episode of the SBS variety show "Running Man," after marrying a non-celebrity woman on September 5. On the show, he thanked Yoo Jaeseok, Yang Sechan, and Choi Daniel, asking, "Why did you give so much money?" In contrast, he simply said, "Thank you, hyung," to Ji Seokjin, which made everyone laugh. After the broadcast, various speculations appeared online, with comments such as, "Yoo Jaeseok probably gave 10 million won," "The scale of congratulatory money at celebrity weddings is different," and "Celebrities must give tens of millions of won each."
