Rapper Yang Hong-won has drawn attention for his remarks following his wedding to model Won Hyun-joo, with whom he has been in a relationship for eight years.


On October 19, Yang shared a wedding photo on his Instagram, writing, "Hyun-joo, I love you. I still feel like I'm entering a motel in Cheonho-dong."


The photo shows Yang in a tuxedo and Won in a wedding dress, both displaying a warm connection.


However, reactions from netizens were mixed. Some commented, "That line is the worst," "Why mention a motel?" and "Just say you love her instead," while others noted, "The comment is a bit surprising, but it seems to be Yang's style," and "It looks like he expressed his love in his own way."


Earlier, Yang and Won held their wedding ceremony on October 18 at a location in Seoul. The couple has been dating since 2017 and welcomed their daughter, Lua, during their relationship, sharing their parenting journey and wedding preparations through their YouTube channel.


Yang gained recognition after winning Mnet's 'High School Rapper' in 2017 and finishing as a runner-up in 'Show Me the Money 8' in 2019.
