Choi Si-hoon revealed behind-the-scenes details of his proposal to Ailee.
On the 27th, the YouTube channel 'The Perfect Husband Choi Si-hoon' posted a video titled "Proposal video of Ailee and Choi Si-hoon revealed! | A simple Q&A about me."
In the released video, Choi Si-hoon shared various stories about Ailee. He recalled their first meeting: "The first place I met my wife was at our store. I met my wife here," adding, "A close YouTuber friend and I had a connection, so I came to our store to have a quiet chat with him after a long time. I never imagined that I would be getting married that day."
He continued, "My wife has an incredible aura. At that time, I couldn’t even talk to her because she seemed too much like a celebrity, so I just greeted her, served her a drink, and remained quiet." He noted, "My wife invited me to a concert three months after our first meeting, saying she was thankful to me."
After visiting Ailee's concert, Choi Si-hoon said, "At that time, I was captivated by my wife’s stunning appearance. It was a bit more like I had a fan's affection as an artist, rather than love. I thought, 'That woman is so amazing,' but after seeing her perform at the Busan concert and sharing a meal together, we had serious conversations about our lives."
Choi Si-hoon disclosed, "What saddened me was that the amazing woman I saw had a lot of loneliness and hardship in her life, and it pained my heart. I solely wanted to make her happy, and that’s what made me fall in love with her."
He also mentioned that they discussed financial matters at the beginning of their relationship. Choi Si-hoon said, "I hoped each of us would manage our own assets. I told Ailee, 'You have worked hard until now, so to help you save more money and spend less, I will support you from the side.' I said, 'I have no problem earning and making a living, so I just want you to be happier.' This was my true love for my wife, not expecting anything in return," he smiled.
He shared details about the proposal. He said, "A friend of my wife suggested an idea. If I reserved a concert hall and made it seem like my wife was coming to perform, I would surprise her. It became a proposal combining the uniqueness of my job as a singer, but I found it completely daunting. I struggled with it and visited the concert hall for a meeting, but the next day, I heard my wife saying on YouTube that 'I don’t like event-style proposals,' so I revised the event."
He continued, "That day, I thought, what if I could create the most memorable Christmas in her life? I prepared for it. I gathered all my friends and made a video, saying, 'Please take a look.' On the screen, family and friends from the U.S. appeared with congratulatory messages for the wedding, and I also left a message of gratitude for marrying me," he boasted about the romantic gesture.
Ailee and Choi Si-hoon will hold their wedding ceremony on April 20th after about a year of dating. The two are said to have already registered their marriage last August.
