Recently, the wedding of renowned fashion stylist and visual director Kim Young Jin, also known as Kim Venchy, has gone viral on social media, thanks to its star-studded guest list featuring none other than BTS and NCT. While NCT surprised attendees with a live performance to celebrate the newlyweds, BTS leader RM took center stage as the official MC of the event, charming guests with his wit and presence.

Joining RM at the wedding were fellow BTS members j-hope and SUGA, who were seen laughing, chatting, and fully enjoying the joyful atmosphere of the ceremony. With so many A-list stars coming together in one place to celebrate love, fans couldn’t help but call it a “dream wedding.”

That said, considering the status of stylist Kim and his wife in the industry, such a high-profile guest list comes as no surprise. Kim Venchy has long been one of South кσяєα’s top fashion stylists and has served as BTS’s main stylist for years. He’s the creative mind behind many of the group’s most iconic looks in music videos, performances, and public appearances—including global projects like “My Universe” with Coldplay and the symbolic MV for “Yet To Come.”

More than just a longtime stylist, Kim is also a close friend of the BTS members. Their friendship has been well-documented in behind-the-scenes moments—RM was even seen holding Kim’s baby daughter and expressing deep emotion at the wedding. V (Taehyung) once gifted that same baby girl a luxurious toy car, highlighting just how cherished Kim and his family are within the BTS circle.

Meanwhile, Kim’s wife, Lee Ha Jeong, is also no stranger to the K-pop scene. She’s been styling BTS since 2013 and previously worked with 2NE1 back in 2009. Many fans and media outlets refer to her as a “visual director” or “coordi” for BTS, further reflecting her influence behind the scenes.

Despite the clear closeness between the newlyweds and BTS, j-hope found himself at the center of unwarranted criticism after a photo of him and the bride surfaced online. The image—which shows the bride holding j-hope’s hand while they pose for a commemorative photo after the ceremony—sparked debate, with some netizens claiming the gesture was “too intimate.”

Some of the more negative comments included: “Why is he holding the bride’s hand?”, "Seems like she was attempting to switch husbands…", “Guests usually don’t do that", "My mom asked me if j-hope was getting married after seeing this.", "This is crazy, what is this?",...While these remarks gained traction on social media, the backlash was quickly met with an overwhelming defense from ARMYs, who rallied to support j-hope and denounce the unfair accusations.

Fans emphasized that j-hope’s actions were completely appropriate and aligned with his naturally warm and friendly personality. ARMYs also pointed out the importance of context—Lee Ha Jeong isn’t a stranger to BTS but a trusted team member and long-standing stylist who has been part of their journey since the beginning. Similarly, the groom is more than just a stylist—he's a dear friend and longtime collaborator.

Given the emotional and personal nature of weddings, especially one filled with close friends, the gesture should be viewed as a sincere and affectionate way of congratulating someone special—not soмєтнing to criticize. Many fans expressed frustration that J-Hope was being targeted for such a harmless and kind moment.

They commented:

- j-hope is such a warm person, and everyone knows he’s always respectful

- That moment was beautiful to me. That’s the J-Hope I love—genuine, gentle, and always spreading positive energy.

- Forget about holding hands, If he attend my wedding I would have hugged him tightly Idc .. HE IS JHOPE afterall

- holding hands with the bride on her wedding day... oh everyone loves him

- if jung hoseok shows up at my wedding, I, too, would leave my husband for him. But I remind you that they're BTS's close friends and as staffs, they even have a baby girl. 

- I like the pic....hoseok is friendly with the bride and groom both ..nice to see.

- People are really reaching. That moment was clearly just a friendly and respectful gesture. J-Hope has always been warm and kind — let’s not twist that into soмєтнing it’s not

- This is a man who bows to staff, thanks fans at every turn, and treats everyone with gentle respect. One photo shouldn’t be used to question his character

- ARMYs know J-Hope’s heart. That was a wedding full of close friends, not a red carpet event. There’s nothing inappropriate about showing affection in a celebratory setting

- The bride and groom are longtime collaborators and friends of BTS. If they felt comfortable, why should strangers on the internet be offended on their behalf?

- You can tell from the atmosphere that everyone there was full of happiness. That hand-holding moment was nothing but sweet and respectful
