# Cushy Nuptials Korean Man Lee Jin-gyu Marries Anime Body Pillow By Luisa Amanda Gomes | Published 2010-03-13 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Lee-Jin-gyu References: [asylum](http://www.asylum.com/2010/03/12/korean-man-lee-jin-gyu-marries-body-pillow/) & [huffingtonpost](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/03/10/korean-man-marries-pillow_n_494122.html) A Korean man named Lee-Jin-gyu has fallen in love with his anime body pillow. The connection that he shared with this pillow was so deep that he decided to make it official by proposing to her. According to the [UK Metro](http://www.metro.co.uk/weird/816601-man-marries-pillow), he successfully got married to her too. For the ceremony, Lee Jin-gyu bought his blushing bride a brand new wedding dress and had the nuptials served by a priest. I actually found their wedding pretty cute and Lee Jin-gyu’s devotion to his wife is apparent from the video of them together. So, I wish nothing but the best for these newlyweds. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 40% | Activity: 91% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Romance](https://www.trendhunter.com/romance) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Anime Body Pillows:** Opportunity for creating personalized, customizable anime body pillows that cater to individual preferences. - **Virtual Relationships:** Potential for developing virtual reality technologies that simulate intimate relationships and provide emotional fulfillment. - **Alternative Forms of Love:** Rise in acceptance and exploration of unconventional forms of love and relationships, leading to new markets for unique products and services. ### Where This Applies - **Custom Merchandise:** Innovative product customization solutions that allow customers to design and personalize merchandise with their own unique preferences. - **Virtual Reality:** Expanding the virtual reality industry by developing immersive experiences that replicate interpersonal relationships. - **Alternative Relationships:** Creating niche markets and support services for individuals seeking alternative forms of love and companionship. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Laundry-Themed Nuptial Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-launderette-of-love.md) - [Metaverse Wedding Ceremonies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metaverse-wedding.md) - [Inclusive NFT Marriages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/closeup-city-hall.md) - [Dip-Themed Wedding Ceremonies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dip-themed-wedding.md) - [Oversized Sandwich Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kfc-chicken-sandwich-snuggler.md) - [AI-Generated Wedding Registries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wedding-registry1.md) - [Cuddly Body-Conforming Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hugl.md) - [Pet-Specific Wedding Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chewy-2.md) - [Ketchup Sauce Packet Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sauce-packet-jacket.md)
