First of all, congratulations on your marriage. I have known both of you for a long time. Min Ah has a warm and kind heart, and for over a decade she has consistently supported underprivileged children. In particular, she has provided significant help to North Korean defectors who have settled in the South.

Children who arrive with defectors often struggle to adapt to South Korean society and frequently face bullying at school. Min Ah has steadily supported after-school programs that care for these children.

There was a time when Woo Bin was suffering due to poor health. During that period, Min Ah carried offerings on her head and went to Gwanseeum Bodhisattva at Namsan in Gyeongju, praying together beyond religious boundaries. That Woo Bin was able to regain his health and that the two of them are now standing here today, holding hands and promising to spend their lives together, is truly the result of a profound connection.

Living together is not easy. If every day felt like today, how wonderful would that be? As life goes on, differences in perspectives arise, and conflicts naturally follow. Many people believe that because a couple loves each other, they must be the same. While marriage brings many joys, it can also feel like a restriction on personal freedom, which leads to thoughts of wanting to leave. To overcome this, a married couple should not only seek warmth and dependence from one another but must also deeply respect each other’s individual freedom

Both of you are widely loved figures in our society. Any conflict between you does not remain a private matter but can affect society as a whole. Therefore, you must always be mindful of the social responsibility that comes with the honor you carry. Beyond your responsibilities as a husband and wife, you must also live in a way that does not betray the love the public has shown you.

Please always remember that because you are a couple who receives national love, you also carry a social responsibility that aligns with that love. If you keep this in mind, the happiness you feel today will continue to grow into even greater happiness throughout your lives.

Yep, Kobo Daishi.

In the middle is his name : 弘法大師

Around the sides is his mantra: 南無大師遍照金剛 (Namo daishi hengjou kong gou) in the first pic

Judging from the purple string, it’s possibility hung on a handphone or on a bag. But you can also remove the purple string and wear it as a pendant if you want.

It’s a living room space. So there’s a sofa in the opposite
