Retired Olympic gymnast Son Yeon-jae tied the knot with her non-celebrity boyfriend on Sunday.
The private wedding took place at her house in Seoul with just the couple's close family and friends.
In May, Son's agency Next Euphoria had announced Son's plans to get married in August. According to the agency, her husband is nine years older than her.
Son made her debut as a professional gymnast in 2010, nabbing the bronze medal at the Guangzhou Asian Games. After finishing fifth in the all-around women’s individual at the 2012 London Olympics, she started receiving international recognition. At the 2014 Incheon Asian Games, Son became the first Korean rhythmic gymnast to win gold in the women’s individual all-around. The 2016 Rio Olympics was Son’s last international event before her retirement. She finished fourth in the all-around, the best finish ever by an Asian rhythmic gymnast during the Olympics.
Son retired in 2017, at the age of 22. In 2019, she established an academy for aspiring rhythmic gymnasts. She currently runs the academy and also teaches there.
