Actress and singer Arden Cho, internationally recognized for her role as the voice of Rumi in "K-Pop เฆ—เฆพเฆฐเงเฆฒเฆธ," recently celebrated her marriage to orthopedic surgeon Christopher Lee in a picturesque ceremony in Florence, Italy. The event was a heartfelt tribute to her Korean heritage, with traditional hanbok attire playing a central role.

Cho, who received a marriage proposal from Lee in March 2025 during a trip to Maui, Hawaii, expressed her long-held desire to incorporate Korean culture into her wedding. "Since we started planning, I dreamed of welcoming everyone to Italy with a hanbok celebration," she shared on Instagram. She described the experience of seeing her friends and family embrace Korean culture as "surreal" and "art within art."

The wedding, which took place on June 27, saw the couple exchanging vows and celebrating with loved ones. Cho shared glimpses of the festivities, including images of herself and her husband in hanbok, alongside photos in a classic white bridal gown. Highlights included the couple cutting a millefoglie cake and dancing with their guests, creating an atmosphere of "endless laughter" and joy.

Arden Cho and Christopher Lee first met in Los Angeles through a dating app. Cho recounted how her fame sometimes led to her profiles being flagged as fake, causing her to be removed from some platforms. However, she eventually connected with Lee, and after just two dates, they began their relationship. Cho reflected that they found each other "at the right moment" in their lives.

Preparations for the wedding began after Cho's busy awards season and the success of "K-Pop เฆ—เฆพเฆฐเงเฆฒเฆธ." The couple worked with a wedding planner to ensure an unforgettable experience for their guests. Despite meticulous planning, they faced a scare when an airline misplaced four suitcases containing essential wedding items, adding a touch of pre-wedding drama to their journey.
