[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] Chungcheong region senior lawmakers Jeong Jin-seok of the United Future Party and Park Deok-heum of the United Party have become in-laws.

On the 22nd, Jeong's eldest daughter and Park's eldest son held their wedding ceremony the previous afternoon at a hotel in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul. The ceremony was reportedly attended by only about 100 close family members and relatives from both sides.

Neither lawmaker sent wedding invitations to the political circle, and it is known that their office aides were also discouraged from attending.

It was explained that considering the National Assembly's organizational situation and the COVID-19 pandemic, the wedding was held quietly.

Instead, the two lawmakers sent a group message to other lawmakers on the day to announce the wedding, saying, "Our children's wedding took place yesterday. Both families decided to hold the ceremony quietly with only family members, so we deeply apologize for not inviting many people," adding, "We were worried about burdening you, and also concerned that the spread of COVID-19 might harm the health of those who would have attended."

They continued, "We intended to share modest congratulations in a calm atmosphere. So please do not feel disappointed and kindly understand with a generous heart," and said, "We hope you will bless and support us together."
