Shinhwa's Lee Min-woo is getting married at the age of 46. Fans are celebrating 'Oppa's' marriage more than anyone else.
On the 25th, Lee Min-woo revealed the surprise marriage news, stating, "I have experienced various situations recently, and during a time when I was mentally struggling and exhausted, I spent a lot of time with my family and reflected on the meaning of family. There was a vague wish that I wanted to 'create my own family that supports each other.' During that time, I confirmed a mutual feeling with a precious relationship I have known for a long time and decided to become one family."
He continued, "I really struggled to figure out how to convey this news, and it wasn't easy to pick up the pen, but I thought about Shinhwa Changjo who might feel disappointed and upset if they were to hear this news from somewhere else first, and I wanted to share it first, even in a clumsy written form. I want to receive congratulations from Shinhwa Changjo, whom I care about the most, so I hope you bless the story I share with my sincere feelings with warm hearts."
Especially, Lee Min-woo expressed infinite love for his fans, saying, "Since debuting with Shinhwa, I've gone through passionate teenage, twenties, and thirties until now. Throughout this long time, I have been fortunate to receive overflowing love and support from Shinhwa Changjo, and thanks to the warm support and love from Shinhwa Changjo, who always backed me up, I could gain the courage to take another step forward."
And he promised, "There will be other changes in my life, but I will continue to meet Shinhwa Changjo as Lee Min-woo who carries on without change on stage and anywhere, powered by the love of Shinhwa Changjo and my family. Shinhwa Changjo, who I am always thankful for and love, it's not enough even to say thank you. Thank you for reading this long letter late at night, and I hope you have sweet dreams."
In response, fans commented, "Our Oppa, congratulations so much. Please be the happiest in everything," "Wow, Oppa, finally!!!!!!!!!!! Huge congratulations!!!!!!!!!!! And I'm really relievedㅠㅠ Let's only be happy from now on," "The feelings of always liking and supporting Shinhwa and Lee Min-woo are unchanged, so I hope it's a decision where Oppa can be happy," "I bless that you will be even happier in your new family," and more.
As Shinhwa's personal color is orange, an overflow of orange hearts and emojis is seen. For idol fans, a star's marriage can be a bittersweet affair. However, since Lee Min-woo was born in 1979 and he sent a heartfelt handwritten letter to the fans first, more than anyone, Shinhwa Changjo fans are calling out their congratulations and cheers.
Meanwhile, Lee Min-woo suffered significant emotional distress after being defrauded by Ms. A, a friend of his sister. Ms. A is accused of cheating him out of 1.6 billion won over a 26-month period by pretending to have connections within the prosecution to secure a 'no indictment' for Lee Min-woo, despite having no such relationships.
In particular, Ms. A reportedly approached Lee Min-woo again in December of the same year, after he was acquitted, demanding more money by saying, 'If the fact of the non-indictment is revealed before the necessary 10 days to finalize the case are up, you won't be able to stop media reports and it will create issues.'
Ms. A has been indicted for violating the Act on the Aggravated Punishment of Specific Economic Crimes (fraud) and the Attorney-at-Law Act. Both the first and second trials ruled Ms. A's charges as guilty, sentencing her to 9 years in prison and ordering the seizure of 2.636 billion won. However, the Supreme Court overturned the lower court's judgment and sent the case back to the Seoul High Court.
In March, Lee Min-woo revealed his unfortunate current situation, stating, "The nerves that have been damaged due to stress. Symptoms of facial paralysis. If you're to treat Guwan-wasa, it should be done within the golden time of 72 hours of the initial symptoms. If neglected for several years like me, it will be hard for a full recovery, but if you receive consistent treatment, it may improve a bit."
