'I finally met the one': Korean ex-supermodel, 45, marries 70-year-old ex-Samsung Electronics president
Congrats.
Former supermodel Kim Ja Yeon, 45, has tied the knot with 70-year-old Son Yeong Gwon, a former president of Samsung Electronics, according to Joong Ang Daily. Son, who currently advises Samsung Electronics and chairs Harman International, previously served as the company's president. Kim announced her marriage on November 1 in a social media post, captioned "I'm married everyone!" and accompanied by photos of her and Son expressing their joy.
Surprised by the news, Kim said she had always thought she would lead a solitary life without marriage. The couple met through their shared background as graduates from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) about two years ago. They gradually grew closer before openly expressing their feelings earlier this year. Since then, they have traveled together to the United States, Korea, and Europe, learning to understand and respect each other's worlds.
Their wedding was a private event at the Bürgenstock Resort at Lake Lucerne, Switzerland, with only their families in attendance. Kim expressed gratitude to her followers for their well-wishes on the occasion.
