[Morning News Segment Wwk Channel Exclusive Report]
Seoul, South Korea.
The city woke to dazzling headlines this morning as the long-awaited union of Chairman Kang Taewon of Kang Group finally took place in one of the grandest private ceremonies of the year.
Known as the man who once earned the title "The Handsome Enigma of the Nation,"
Kang Taewon's quiet yet commanding presence has always drawn public fascination not just for his leadership of one of Korea's top global beauty empires, but for his mysterious, deeply private life.
Until today.
For years,
Chairman Kang remained guarded, avoiding public attention since his first marriage with the late Chairman Han's only son, Han Jihyun.
Their union —once a topic of both admiration and controversy ended quietly under family arrangements that left the public speculating.
At that time, neither Kang Taewon nor Han Jihyun ever gave statements, and their relationship faded from headlines as if it had never existed.
But fate, as it seems, had a different script for the two.
Earlier this month, W App the platform that has replaced many of the world's major social networks witnessed a surprising post from the chairman himself.
It featured a photograph of an infant cradled in his arms, accompanied by a simple caption:
"Two months of silence. Two months of love. Meet Hyunwon."
Within minutes, the post broke the internet, accumulating millions of reactions
worldwide.
Netizens flooded the platform, realizing what the photo revealed a child born of love between Kang Taewon and Han Jihyun.
What followed was a tidal wave of emotion, with fans, shareholders, and global media outlets praising the chairman's courage to reveal his son, who had been kept away from the public eye for nearly two months after his birth.
Today, that silence finally turned into celebration.
The wedding ceremony held at The Sapphire Hall, one of Seoul's most luxurious and secured venues shimmered under crystal chandeliers, soft music, and white orchids flown in from Jeju.
Sources close to the family revealed that the event was attended by close relatives, industry leaders, and international figures from the fashion and cosmetics world.
While photographs remain limited due to privacy restrictions, a few verified glimpses from W App show the moment Kang Taewon and Han Jihyun stood together beneath a grand floral arch, exchanging rings for the second time but this time, by choice, not arrangement.
Witnesses describe the couple's expression as
"calm yet overflowing with unspoken emotion."
Jihyun, now 23, appeared radiant and confident far from the once timid young heir society remembered.
And Taewon, ever the composed leader, was seen smiling more than anyone had ever seen before.
Their son, baby Hyunwon Kang, was said to be present during the ceremony, carried by the family's eldest matriarch, Mrs. Kang herself.
What began years ago as a quiet,
complicated alliance between two powerful families has now turned into one of Korea's most heartwarming modern love stories proof that sometimes, even in the world of contracts and expectations, love can return twice… and this time, by destiny.
