Singer Kim Jong-min was the first among the members of Koyote to announce marriage news, while attention is also focused on the possibility of marriage for Shinji.
Previously, at a wedding press conference held at the Shilla Hotel in Seoul on April 20, Kim Jong-min noted, "Shinji and Baekga showed nuances of thinking, 'Next could be us' after seeing me go first," and added, "I expect good news soon," which attracted attention.
In particular, Shinji has shown a strong intention to marry in various broadcasts in the past. While appearing on KBS2's "1 Night 2 Days" in 2022, Shinji said, "This album is the last. I will definitely get married next year," hinting at marriage in 2023, but even after the year changed, there was no further news. At that time, the members laughed, saying, "That's ridiculous," but among fans, there were reactions saying, "It seemed sincere."
On SBS's "Dolsing For Man," Shinji also remarked, "I have even made plans to have a baby," throwing a significant comment about preparing for Koyote's last album.
Meanwhile, recently Shinji attracted attention again by confessing to undergoing surprise cosmetic surgery. He playfully revealed on social media, "I don't know, everyone notices anyway, so I'm just going to admit it... I had an eye remodeling~," and added, "The swelling hasn't gone down yet, but it will soon become natural like before," sharing a cheerful update.
Fans are speculating about his changed visuals, saying, "He has updated his peak," and "At this point, isn't it preparing for marriage?" In fact, Shinji recently made headlines by mentioning a love line with Ji Sang-ryeol and talking about a hypothetical second child on-air.
Meanwhile, Kim Jong-min held a private wedding ceremony with his 11-year-younger non-celebrity fiancée that day, with Yoo Jae-seok, Moon Se-yoon, and Cho Sae-ho officiating, and the congratulatory songs were sung by Lee Jeok and Lyn. The honeymoon is reported to be in France.
