In a picturesque celebration set against the backdrop of Florence, Italy, actress Arden Cho and orthopedic surgeon Christopher Lee tied the knot. Known for her role as Rumi in Netflix’s “KPop Demon Hunters,” Cho exchanged vows with Lee in a series of events that spanned multiple days and blended cultural traditions with contemporary style. The wedding was attended by their families and closest friends.
Their romance, which began on a dating app, saw a significant milestone during a trip to Maui in March 2025, where the couple got engaged. Choosing Florence as their wedding venue held deep personal meaning for them; it was in this historic city that they first realized their relationship was destined for a lifelong commitment.
The wedding festivities were a harmonious blend of Korean heritage and modern-day elegance. To kick off the celebrations, both Arden and Christopher donned traditional Korean hanboks, honoring their roots during the welcoming events. For the main ceremony held at the luxurious Villa Cora, Arden opted for a custom Vera Wang gown, exuding timeless sophistication. In keeping with Korean customs, the couple also participated in a traditional pyebaek ceremony, a ritual that allows family members to wish the couple well in their marriage.
Despite facing several hurdles such as delayed luggage, travel issues for some guests, and an unyielding heatwave sweeping through Florence, the couple’s wedding celebrations proceeded beautifully. Arden, whose popularity has surged with her recent work on “KPop Demon Hunters,” is also busy producing “Perfect Girl,” an upcoming psychological thriller with a K-pop theme, showcasing her versatility and growing influence in the entertainment industry.
