Lee Kwang Soo Confirmed as Wedding MC
On December 18, King Kong by Starship announced Lee Kwang Soo will host the December 20 ceremony. The choice makes sense—Kwang Soo is Woo Bin’s longtime friend and recently starred with Shin Min Ah in 2025’s Karma. Their trio chemistry on tvN’s GBRB: Joy Pops Laugh Pops captivated audiences, making fans desperate for all three present.
Kyungsoo had originally planned to perform “Popcorn,” Kim Woo Bin’s favorite track, but canceled once EXO’s full-group MMA appearance was confirmed. Missing this would jeopardize the entire group’s post-military comeback schedule.
Fan Reactions: #LetKyungsooGo
Social media erupted with heartbroken pleas:
- “Kyungsoo, you need to cancel your appearance at MMA fr” – Trending across platforms
- “Give kyungsoo a teleportation superpower now” – Wishing for the impossible
- “Still hoping Kyungsoo will be able to go 😭” – Desperate for KKPP trio reunion
The reactions highlight how fans value genuine celebrity friendships. Kyungsoo’s absence isn’t by choice—it’s professional obligation versus personal desire.
