The Tamesis
The couple’s friends, Dongjoon Lim and Sookyo Jung of Post Archive Faction, made Hu a custom suit. They opted for a timeless tailored suit with slightly exaggerated details like super-peaked lapels, made from a textured Japanese fabric. Inside the jacket lining, Lin and Zheng sewed a hidden personal note for the couple. Another close friend, Minjae Kim, customized a resin floral brooch for the groom, who also wore Balenciaga derby shoes. During the couple’s ring exchange, Park and Hu wore traditional rings inspired by the Joseon Dynasty to meaningfully honor their Korean heritage during the ceremony.
When it came to the after-party, Park changed into a Gyoure Kim look, a sweet ruffled strapless look, patent leather white leather shoes, and charming clown-like curled toes, suitable for dancing all night long. Hu put on Kim’s jacket, layered with an Ann Demeulemeester transparent cardigan, paired with Maison Margiela fringed trousers and Balenciaga Romeo patent leather shoes.
Guests were given a clear and very interesting dress code (a specialty of the couple): “romantic clown”. A loose palette of black, burgundy and cream was recommended, and the party did just that: a mustard vest paired with a burgundy suit, an evening gown embellished with white roses. “I really want our guests to feel like they’re part of the visual story of the day and stand out with us,” Parker said. “I loved the idea of this slightly dramatic, romantic Western aesthetic emerging on a quiet, rural farm in Jeju Island. The contrast—elegant, dramatic clothing set against rows of orange trees and natural landscaping—created a really beautiful tension that made the whole atmosphere feel even more special.”
The original plan was not to hold a ceremony but to have a small gathering with friends. “A few weeks before the wedding, my best friend offered to officiate, and our friends insisted they wanted a moment where they could cry. So we ultimately decided to have a small ceremony,” Parker said. “I felt a pure joy that I hadn’t experienced since childhood. It was so touching to step out and see everyone we loved gathered together on this little island so far from home. The moment was almost spiritual.” Despite a few hiccups leading up to their big day, they were able to embrace the moment and feel fully engaged. How did Hu do it? By hosting the entire wedding party and constantly bringing people to the dance floor. “Watching him having so much fun was contagious — it created this energy that spread to everyone and made the whole celebration feel really alive,” Parker said.
Traditional Korean music provided the soundtrack for the parade, and South Korean national treasure Lee Soo-yeon and the trainees performed on the aisle. After the wedding, the two singers performed a traditional Korean folk song celebrating the newlyweds.
Of course, food is a focus: guests are served classic celebratory banquet noodles (janchi guksu), as well as Ojina’s banchan, a traditional Korean side dish prepared on the farm. Their friend Xianxiu welcomed the guests with homemade rice wine, first Zhongjiu and later Deokjiu. Another friend, Youngjae, who runs a restaurant in Seoul that the couple likes, created a special dish for the wedding: Korean paella cooked over a wood fire with fresh seafood from Jeju Island. Hongogi serves up his signature traditional pork with help from his friend Key-Meal. Wildduck & Canteen crafted wines, including the Hwayo soju that got everyone excited. “The food and drinks became a beautiful thread throughout the day, connecting our friends, the place and the spirit of the celebration,” Parker said.
