SEOUL (The Korea Herald/Asia News Network): Kim Seul-ki, a 39-year-old South Korean woman, has publicly declared her commitment to herself by marrying herself in a solo wedding ceremony.

“Now that everyone knows I’ve declared sologamy, questions about my marital status just naturally dissipated. It’s very satisfying, and I can’t think of any negative sides to it,” the manager at Lush Korea said, recalling her marriage to herself in 2022.
