With a few more days left until the ceremony, rumors about Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo's wedding are flying fast. The most recent one surfaced earlier this week, naming who will be hosting Korea's biggest wedding of the year.

Local media reported that the "Descendants of the Sun" couple's wedding would have no marriage officiant. Instead, Joong Ki's former "Running Man" co-star and good friend Lee Kwang Soo would host the event. However, the latter's agency denied the claims on Thursday.

"Though Lee Kwang Soo will be attending Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo's wedding, he won't be hosting the ceremony," a King Kong Entertainment representative said.

According to The Korea Times, Joong Ki and Kwang Soo met on "Running Man" in 2010 and have been best friends ever since. The gangly comedian once made a cameo in the hit drama "Descendants of the Sun," which stars the soon-to-be-married couple. To return the favor, the groom also decided to make a special appearance in the reality star's web drama, "Sound of Your Heart."

Currently, details are scarce regarding Joong Ki and Hye Kyo's wedding, but it has been confirmed that Ock Joo Hyun, who is a long-time friend of the bride, will sing at the wedding.

The ceremony is expected to be small, simple, and private, with only the couple's family and good friends attending. Allkpop reports that no press conference or photo time will take place after the wedding.

The Song-Song couple will be tying the knot on Tuesday, Oct. 31 inside Shilla Hotel in Seoul. The reception hall can reportedly hold up to 300 guests, but it has been revealed that the pair only invited 150 people from both sides of the family.

As for their honeymoon, a recent report said Joong Ki and Hye Kyo may head to Europe after the wedding. However, the former's agency, Blossom Entertainment, said did not confirm the matter, saying, "There can be a change in plans so we will have to wait and see this week."
