However, the couple had trouble keeping their wedding private as there were multiple Chinese media that are recording live videos and capturing a glimpse of Song-Song couple's wedding venue.
On November 2, Korea's media and netizens criticized Chinese media for flying drones to capture the Song-Song couple's wedding. Since two hours before their wedding, Multiple Chinese media were already recording the couple's wedding rehearsal as a live show.
In some Chinese media, it even had a narration explaining what's happening at the wedding along with a live video.
According to actor Song Joong-ki's management agency, Blossom Entertainment said, "Prior to their wedding, multiple Chinese media asked the couple that they want to record the couple's wedding live. But since the groom and bride wanted to celebrate their wedding privately, they, of course, rejected offers."
A source revealed earlier, Chinese media even offered them 15 billion won (13,476,600 dollars) to record the couple's wedding but Song-Song couple rejected their offers. Thus, Chinese media sneaked in and filmed their wedding.
But Blossom Entertainment explained, "Since the couple rejected all of the sponsorship offers without hearing any conditions, there wasn't any price negotiations."
The management agency continued, "We had a feeling that there will be few drones recording the couple's wedding. Even on the day of their wedding, a hotel staff told us that there were some drones flying around. But since we didn't know who flew drones, we weren't able to take any measures."
Most Seoul metropolitan areas prohibit flying drones in case of terror and invasion of privacy. In the past, North Korea has sent multiple drones to Korea which were founded by military authorities at the time.
Meanwhile, Song-Song couple did not travel to Europe after their wedding, but instead newly-wed actor Song Joong-ki reportedly participated in actor Kim Joo Hyuk's wake at Asan Medical Center in Seoul on November 1.
