Park We’s Brother Faces Controversy Over Wedding Speech

On October 9, video creator Park We and former SECRET member Song Ji-eun held their wedding ceremony in Seoul. Park We garnered attention for overcoming full-body paralysis from a fall and for his relationship with Song Ji-eun, which was founded on their shared Christian faith. 

As a video creator, Park We shared footage from the wedding on his channel, “Weracle,” where his brother’s speech raised eyebrows. 

Park Ji-woo introduced himself as “the eternal brother-in-law of the bride, Song Ji-eun,” and went on to recount how their family faced hardships following his brother’s diagnosis of full-body paralysis 10 years ago.

He expressed concerns about his brother’s well-being, “I didn’t want my brother to feel frustrated or bothered.” He then recounted an incident involving his brother and Song Ji-eun at the gym, where he humorously described a situation related to bodily functions, imitating Song Ji-eun sniffing the air. 

Park Ji-woo concluded, “To me, the disability is a strong bond that ties our family together. My brother has tied my sister-in-law tightly with that bond. Thank you for becoming part of our family, and congratulations on your marriage!” 

While his speech aimed to convey appreciation, it drew backlash once shared online, with critics questioning the necessity of certain phrases and deeming the mimicking of Song Ji-eun’s reaction mocking. Some netizens expressed discomfort with discussing bodily functions in front of a crowd, while others defended the couple, arguing that the public’s reaction was overly sensitive.
