Amorepacific Group Chairman Suh Kyung-bae’s eldest daughter is getting engaged to the first son of Bokwang Investment Corp. Chairman Hong Seok-joon this weekend, according to industry sources Thursday.

Suh Min-jeong and Hong Jeong-hwan, who started dating early this year after being introduced by an acquaintance, are set to hold an engagement ceremony at Shilla Hotel in Seoul at around 6 p.m. on Saturday.

Both work at their fathers’ companies. Suh is the second-largest shareholder of Amorepacific after her father, holding 2.93 percent stake. Hong currently holds 0.52 percent of BGF stocks and 1.56 percent of BGF Retail, two affiliates of Bokwang Group.
