Is This Common Sense? The Era of Finding Out Classmates' Weddings Through LINE After Graduation

It's an Era Where You Learn About Acquaintances' Marriages Through LINE's Status Updates

I will be 27 this year, and the other day, our high school class LINE group (with about 35 people!) became active after several years.

The topic was "We want to have a drink together after a long time," but since most of the people I haven't seen for a long time, it became really nostalgic, and I casually looked at the member list...

You know the LINE status message, right? That space where you can put a brief message shown under your name.

There,

✅ Former surname: ○○

✅ ○○ (new last name) Name

✅ Got married and changed to ○○ (new last name)

I found several women writing these things!

Seeing that, I learned about my former classmates' marriages＊

I think that in the past, it was more common to write both the new and old surnames in the name section, but the "status message" feels very contemporary...

I haven't met them since graduation, and I'm not connected with them on social media, yet they were definitely classmates with whom I studied, played sports, and spent those days together.

I thought it was amazing to find out about a classmate's marriage and new surname through a 【LINE status message】, something I would never have known otherwise...!!!
