Singer Lee Seung-yoon will marry his non-celebrity girlfriend of 9 years in March.
Lee Seung-yoon officially announced his marriage to his non-celebrity girlfriend through a lengthy handwritten letter posted on his official fan cafe on the 6th.
Lee Seung-yoon wrote in the handwritten letter, "On a certain day in March, when the seasons overlap, I will be getting married. Knowing this is sudden news, I wanted to be the first to tell you directly, so I pick up my pen," adding, "Nine years ago, I met a person. There have been many events along the way, at times sharing profound helplessness, at times small happiness, at times great waves, and at times overwhelming dreams, while crying, laughing, and supporting each other."
Lee Seung-yoon continued, "I plan to keep the faint promise made to a person 9 years ago, a promise that I once tried to keep while concealing my helplessness, with a grateful heart. As I have done until now, I will live quietly and beautifully."
Finally, Lee Seung-yoon added, "And as I have done until now, I will joyfully and energetically make music. I thank you once again for being my pride, fulfillment, and foundation, and I will carelessly anticipate the moments we will build together, the blanks we will fill, the stories we will write, and the songs we will complete."
Below is the full text of Lee Seung-yoon's handwritten letter.
Hello, this is Lee Seung-yoon.
It feels like March, hiding from the seasons.
No matter how tightly I hide, it seems the spring is here, peeking through the hair.
Thus, on a certain day in March, when the seasons overlap, I will be getting married.
Knowing this is sudden news,
I wanted to be the first to tell you directly, so I pick up my pen.
Nine years ago, I met a person.
There have been many events along the way,
sometimes profound helplessness, sometimes small happiness,
sometimes great waves, and sometimes overwhelming dreams,
while crying, laughing, and supporting each other.
What is certain is that I believe in the proposition that 'everything is uncertain,' and in the picture of the distant future I can draw,
there is a person standing there.
Let’s skate before the ice melts,
let’s play in the rain before the monsoon is over.
We promised each other during difficult times.
At some point in life,
I was about to give up on music when I met you.
You breathed life into every corner of my old musical life,
and thanks to you, who shared in my laughter and sorrow,
I am still living as a musician.
Moreover, I live as a musician with solid pride and tangible fulfillment,
melting the ice, sprouting new life,
clearing the monsoon, and pouring sunshine.
It is no exaggeration, truth, or sincerity to say that without you, these stories could not exist.
I plan to keep the faint promise made to a person 9 years ago,
a promise I once tried to keep while concealing my helplessness,
with a grateful heart.
As I have done until now, I will live quietly and beautifully.
And as I have done until now, I will joyfully and energetically make music.
I thank you once again for being my pride, fulfillment, and foundation,
and I will carelessly anticipate the moments we will build together, the blanks we will fill,
the stories we will write, and the songs we will complete.
I will end my writing here.
Thank you for reading this long letter.
Lee Seung-yoon.
