Singer Shin Ji announced her marriage to the younger singer Moon Won, revealing her stance on ongoing controversies along with the behind-the-scenes of their relationship.
In the SBS entertainment program 'Dolsing Fourmen' aired on the 15th, Shin Ji appeared and candidly shared the story of her relationship with Moon Won and their wedding preparations.
Shin Ji noted about Moon Won, "He is 7 years younger than me, but he feels more like an older brother. I am more immature," which drew laughter. Jeon Won-ju asked, "Why do young people like younger men these days?" to which Shin Ji replied, "I'm sorry," playing along. Jeon Won-ju added, "Still, being young is good for energy," provoking great laughter. Regarding why no one knew they were dating, Shin Ji revealed, "Since I'm his senior, he kept calling me 'sunbae' (a term of respect for senior people). So no one knew we were lovers," sharing the background of their secret relationship.
When asked about their first kiss, Shin Ji said, "We had it at home," to which Kim Ji-min joked, "Is that all?" Shin Ji laughed and answered, "At that time, that was all. I am now 45," she replied with a smile. Hearing this, Kim Young-ok and Jeon Won-ju expressed sincere support, saying, "What's wrong with that age? Is 45 an old age?"
Shin Ji also revealed, "We've talked about marriage a lot, but I haven't received a formal proposal yet. But I don't need that kind of thing," indicating that sincerity is more important than the romantic form surrounding marriage. During the broadcast, when Tak Jae-hoon kept interrupting, Shin Ji directly asked, "What do you want to hear?" Tak Jae-hoon replied, "I want to hear that it was a happening," which drew laughter. In response, Shin Ji said, "Kim Jong-min said the same thing," sharing the reactions of the members of Koyote, which made everyone burst into laughter.
However, the noise surrounding Shin Ji and Moon Won's marriage has not subsided. Controversy arose when Moon Won confessed about his divorce history and having a daughter in a meeting video with Koyote members released through YouTube content, particularly criticizing Shin Ji's attitude toward family-like member Kim Jong-min and Baekga.
As suspicions about Moon Won's past personal life spread, he personally clarified, saying, "Most of it is not true." Shin Ji also stated, "I have confirmed the worries and concerns from everyone. After reviewing all the suspicions with the agency, we have confirmed that they are not true," revealing her stance. She continued, "I understand completely. I will be more cautious and observant moving forward," promising a careful approach.
The couple, who received many congratulations for their marriage news, remains at the center of controversy, but they are gradually turning the public's gaze by showing sincerity through direct communication and clarification.
