After realizing their feelings for each other early this year, the two nurtured their relationship while traveling between Korea, the United States and Europe.

The couple held a quiet wedding attended only by family at Bürgenstock Hotel, on Lake Lucerne in Switzerland. The venue is also famous as the place where Hollywood legend Audrey Hepburn married. Kim Jayeon announced their new beginning, saying, “With our families’ warm blessings, we promised each other a lifetime together, to stand by one another and continue expanding each other’s worlds.”
