According to business circles on the 9th, Jung's second daughter, Jung Ji-soo, and Baek's son, Kang, are scheduled to tie the knot on June 2.

Jung graduated from a prestigious university in the United States and is currently in charge of discovering advanced new business ventures at HL Group's U.S. branch. Kang is also known to have majored in design at a well-known American university and is working in the related industry. After dating for two years, the two families held a formal meeting at the end of last year and decided on the wedding date.

Chairman Jung is the second son of the late Jung In-young, founder of Halla Group and younger brother of the late Jung Ju-young, chairman of Hyundai Group. He is credited with developing HL Group into a leader in next-generation autonomous vehicle technology.

In particular, he served as president of the Korea Ice Hockey Association for seven years starting in 2013, contributing to the development of ice hockey by leading both the men's and women's national teams to participate in the Olympics. In recognition of these contributions, he became the first Korean to be inducted into the IIHF Hall of Fame.

Former anchor Baek, who will soon become an in-law, is a leading Korean journalist who set records as the youngest and longest-serving 9 o'clock news anchor during her tenure at MBC. She is a professional broadcaster who has hosted current affairs programs and interviews for over 30 years.

Jung's wife, Hong In-hwa, is also known to have been an announcer at Dongyang Broadcasting (TBC), the predecessor of JTBC.

Many figures from the business and media sectors are expected to attend the couple's wedding, which will be held in early next month.
