The Paebaek is a traditional Korean wedding ceremony, held after the main vows, in which the newlyweds honor their parents and elders. Dressed in formal ceremonial clothing, the couple bows deeply and serves tea, while elders offer advice and toss dates and chestnuts — symbols of children and prosperity — for the bride to catch.

EJAE and Sam Kim included a Paebaek in their Seoul celebrations, underlining the wedding's deep family and heritage themes.
