South African and South Korean wedding wins hearts
A traditional Sepedi wedding between a South African bride and her South Korean groom has warmed hearts all over social media.
A newlywed couple has captured the hearts of many South Africans with their cultural mesh wedding.
South African woman Katlego and her South Korean husband Arayeon gained fame through social media. The couple has a shared page on TikTok, @katandarayeon, where they post videos of their life and relationship.
