At this seemingly unexpected entreaty, Kim couldn't promptly give an answer; however, at the encouragement and urging of family members, Kim decided to be the woman's father for her once-in-a-lifetime, special occasion. The woman was able to walk down the aisle amidst cheerful wedding bells despite lacking kith and kin, all thanks to Kim.�

The bride relayed after her wedding, "Thank you, dad. I will lead a happy life so please look over me," touching the heart of Kim and those who chanced upon the story.�
