Kim Kyu-jin, 33, and Kim Sae-yeon, 36, first met each other in January 2019 and wed that year, twice – once in New York where tourists can register their marriages, and again in Seoul where they live and have relatives and friends.
In August 2023, Kyu-jin gave birth to a daughter, Lani. The two are now raising her in Seoul with their two cats.
Like any other first-time parents, their days are hectic – juggling the responsibilities of raising a newborn and embarking on a new chapter of their lives – all while discovering a new sense of happiness.
In a recent interview marking the first anniversary of Lani’s birth, the couple reflected on their journey from marriage to child-rearing, as well as their recent participation in a marriage equality lawsuit.
