Singer Shin Ji announced her wedding news for next year, while the public debate continues regarding the identity of her fiancé, Moon Won. Although various suspicions are circulating, this situation once again made me realize that Shin Ji truly is the nation's little sister.
Shin Ji's wedding news was first reported on the 23rd of last month. Starting with reports that she was taking wedding photos at a location in Seoul, it was revealed that her fiancé is the singer Moon Won, seven years her junior.
In response, her agency, J Stone, also stated to OSEN, "Shin Ji is set to tie the knot with singer Moon Won next year. They met last year while she was active as the DJ of 'Sing! Sing! Show,' leading to their relationship. Shin Ji has been busy with preparations for a concert and album at the end of the year, so it seems the article came out during her early wedding photoshoot."
Along with the wedding news of Shin Ji, congratulations have followed, and on the 2nd, Shin Ji revealed a video on her YouTube channel showing the meeting with her fiancé Moon Won and members of Koyote. At this meeting, a shocking confession was made.
Moon Won, Shin Ji's fiancé, has been married once before and is a father with a daughter. Baekga was surprised, saying, "You have a daughter?" and stepped out briefly to go to the bathroom, while Moon Won explained, "Although my ex-wife is raising her, we communicate with each other and are doing our best to care for the child. We got to know that while meeting each other. At first, I didn't know, but as we got closer, I felt I had to be honest."
After hearing Moon Won's confession, Shin Ji also shared, after deep contemplation, "Because I love you and care about you, I can embrace that." Additionally, Shin Ji explained why she initiated the conversation, saying, "I thought it might be disappointing if my brother or Baekga learned about it from a third party."
Members of Koyote expressed their surprise but encouraged, saying, "Responsibility is important. Shin Ji must be aware of it. I hope no one makes a fuss about this. If the two love each other, that's what matters." Baekga added, "If they are good and in love, that's not something I need to worry about. In fact, it adds meaning to their relationship. I think this situation is even better."
However, after the video was released, public opposition to the marriage has continued. Within a day, the video's views exceeded 1.1 million, and more than 30,000 comments have been made. The majority of comments urge Shin Ji to reconsider her marriage.
On Shin Ji's Instagram, a netizen commented, "I'm a fan, unnie. You really need to judge men carefully. Dating and marriage are different. Anyway, I respect your judgment and hope you receive blessings and go down a good path," to which Shin Ji replied, "Thank you," showing she is somewhat aware of the aftermath of the video release.
It seems that Shin Ji is quite confused by this situation. However, this process has revealed how much her fans and the public cherish and care for her. Fans expressing concern over the marriage is just a reflection of their hope for Shin Ji's happiness.
It seems that this situation is understandably confusing for Shin Ji. Amid the flood of opposition, she may wonder if she made the wrong choice. However, what is certain from this process is that the public's affection for Shin Ji is being expressed, as fans hope only blessings for her marriage.
Despite public opposition, Shin Ji has not made any significant statements. She merely expressed her gratitude towards the concerns directed at her with a simple "Thank you" and is showing caution towards the situation. It remains to be seen how Shin Ji and her fiancé Moon Won will navigate this process.
