Lexie Park and William Hu, co-founders of the jelly confection brand Nünchi, married on a tangerine farm in South Korea's Jeju Island. The event highlighted their artistic backgrounds, Korean heritage, and community support. Held on November 1, 2025, the wedding featured custom fashion and traditional elements amid a whimsical atmosphere.
Lexie Park and William Hu proposed to each other in May 2023 in a barley field on Gapado, a small island near Jeju, South Korea. The couple, who met in 2015 through a mutual friend and began dating in 2021, launched their jelly business Nünchi in 2019. Park has a background in fashion, while Hu trained in architecture.
Their wedding took place on November 1, 2025, at Ojina, a family-run tangerine farm on Jeju Island. The farm owners, whom the couple had befriended over years, offered to host and cater the event as a gift. Without a professional planner, Park and Hu relied on friends, including tour guide Jay Jung, to organize the overseas affair on short notice. On the wedding morning at 7 a.m., guests helped set up chairs and tables, creating an intimate feel. “Instead of feeling stressful, it felt intimate and joyful—everyone we loved was literally helping build the celebration with us,” Park recalled.
Park wore a custom ceremony dress by designer Gyouree Kim, described as “romantic and ethereal” with nods to traditional Korean culture. She added Balenciaga pearl drop earrings and had beauty by Erika Abe featuring a strong blush inspired by historical Korean makeup. For the after-party, Park changed into a frilled strapless dress by Kim with jester-like shoes. Hu donned a tailored suit by Post Archive Faction's Dongjoon Lim and Sookyo Jung, complete with a hidden note in the lining, a resin brooch by Minjae Kim, and Balenciaga shoes. The couple exchanged rings inspired by the Joseon Dynasty.
Guests followed a “romantic clown” dress code in black, burgundy, and cream tones, blending theatrical style with the rural farm setting. A last-minute ceremony, officiated by Park's best friend, included traditional Korean music by national treasure Lee Soo-yeon and trainees, followed by a folk song for newlyweds.
The menu centered on Korean dishes: janchi guksu noodles, farm-made banchan sides, wood-fired Korean paella with Jeju seafood, and heritage pork. Friends served homemade rice wines and Hwayo soju, curated by Wildduck & Canteen. The couple designed their cake, topping it with homemade red and black jellies. Hu kept energy high by MC-ing and encouraging dancing, with late-night instant noodles for guests.
Afterward, the group visited Seoul for sightseeing and treatments before the couple's honeymoon in Vietnam. The friend-only event will be followed by a family celebration in Los Angeles, honoring Hu's Chinese heritage. “It left such a lasting feeling with all of us,” Park said.
