Following the marriage announcement of Koyote's Shin Ji and Kim Jong-min, is the focus now on Bbaekga?
Is the mixed-gender group Koyote really becoming a 'married trio'? With Shin Ji and Kim Jong-min both announcing their marriages, attention is naturally drawn to the marital status of the remaining member, Bbaekga.
Previously, in April, Kim Jong-min created a buzz by announcing his surprise marriage to a businesswoman 11 years younger than him. Now, with Koyote's sole female member Shin Ji expected to marry singer Moon Won, who is 7 years younger, in the first half of next year, she becomes the second married member of the group.
Considering the strong teamwork of the three, who have been together for 27 years since their debut in 1998, the only thing left is Bbaekga's 'marriage news.'
Meanwhile, on the broadcast of MBC's variety show 'Pook Si Myeon Daeng Aiya' aired on the 23rd, newlywed Kim Jong-min, just a week after his wedding, had his episode broadcasted where he charged to a deserted island. From fishing to cooking, he showed no restraint, impressing not only the cast but the viewers, who applauded him, saying, 'He's indeed a responsible man.'
On the same broadcast, mixed reactions were directed at Bbaekga, who appeared alongside Kim Jong-min. During the show, he struggled in a 'black ink hell' while preparing a new dish but managed to lift the mood with his bright energy throughout the filming. Notably, after newlywed Kim Jong-min, there was a comment that 'the firecracker of calamari has even reached Bbaekga,' adding a subtle hint of encouragement.
Immediately after the broadcast, viewers reacted with comments like, 'If all three Koyote members get married, it will be truly historic,' 'Is Bbaekga the next target?' and 'I hope for a marriage triple play.' In fact, the simultaneous surprise marriage announcements from Kim Jong-min and Shin Ji, combined with the fact that all three members are now in their 40s, has heightened interest in dating and marriage.
Bbaekga has expressed through various broadcasts and interviews that he wants to marry at a naturally appropriate timing, but his relaxed and stable demeanor shown on recent variety programs raises expectations for another possibility.
Meanwhile, Koyote is preparing for new songs and a nationwide tour concert alongside Shin Ji's solo comeback this summer. With Kim Jong-min and Shin Ji opening a new chapter in life through marriage, and Bbaekga, who is still single but remains actively engaged in his career, their 'second acts' in life are still ongoing.
