FAQs

  • Please RSVP by the end of December 2024. If you need more time, let us know — we’re happy to be flexible!

  • Sijae by Maria Jung is a traditional Korean hanok venue with both indoor and outdoor spaces. To get a feel for the vibe and see photos of the venue, visit the links below.

  • Traditional Korean food will be served on the wedding day. Instead of a set course menu, we decided to go with a buffet option to offer more variety and accommodate dietary restrictions.

    Alcohol and non-alcoholic drinks will be served throughout the wedding, but let’s hold off on getting too wild until the afterparty :-)

  • Wear what you feel comfortable and confident in — we don’t mind what colors or style you wear, as long as you feel good in it! But dress to impress since we’ll be taking lots of photos and videos throughout the wedding day.

    If you’d like some guidance on what guests typically wear to a Korean wedding…

    For men: A suit will be just fine, similar to what you’d wear to a wedding in America.

    For ladies: Business chic is common — think a blouse with slacks or a skirt, a dress, or a blazer. For some inspo, visit the links below.

  • Getting to Yongin from ICN or Seoul: We recommend taking a taxi or rideshare to Yongin. Uber works well in South Korea and costs less than $100 for a direct ride from ICN to Yongin (and even cheaper from Seoul). If you’re considering renting a car, you’ll need an international license, which costs about $20.

    International plan, pocket WiFi, or eSIM: We recommend looking into your service provider’s international plan, renting a pocket WiFi, or getting an eSIM for your trip. For the last two options, you can book online in advance and pick up at ICN upon arrival, and they typically cost around $20/week.

    Weather: Late May in South Korea is warm and sunny, with average highs around 26°C (79°F) and lows near 16°C (61°F). If it rains on the wedding day, the ceremony will move indoors, and umbrellas will be provided.

    Helpful apps:

    • Naver Map: Works better than Google Maps in South Korea, especially for navigation, and it is English friendly.

    • Uber: Works well for ridesharing as mentioned above, so there’s no need to download other Korean rideshare apps like Kakao T if you already have Uber downloaded.

    • Google Translate or Naver Papago: Helpful for translations.
