The mixed group Koyote transformed the controversy over member Shin Ji and her fiancé Moon Won's wedding announcement into laughter.
On the 9th, Koyote appeared as a guest on the YouTube channel 'Kkondaehee' during the segment 'Let's Eat Rice.' Koyote's Kim Jong-min, Shin Ji, and Baek Ga met Kim Dae-hee to eat and share updates.
'Kkondaehee' and similar YouTube platforms were not unfamiliar content for Koyote members. Baek Ga was running a YouTube channel called 'Oh, My,' and Shin Ji was operating one called 'How Are You Doing.'
In particular, 'How Are You Doing' gained significant attention as it featured Shin Ji announcing her marriage to Moon Won, showing the moment when Kim Jong-min, Baek Ga, and Moon Won all met at once. At that time, Moon Won confessed to having a daughter with his ex-wife, which caught the Koyote members off guard and led to public discussions.
In response, Kim Jong-min also mentioned the video to Kim Dae-hee, saying, 'Did you see that?' Baek Ga chimed in, noting, 'The highest view count is 6 million.' Kim Dae-hee, however, shouted, 'Stay quiet!' and added, 'I won't ask questions that might upset those directly involved,' providing support for Shin Ji.
Shin Ji responded, 'I'm not uncomfortable.' However, he revealed, 'But these two are teasing me from the side,' prompting Kim Dae-hee to confess, 'I saw it too,' which caused laughter.
At that moment, Baek Ga got up from his seat. He said, 'I'll just be a moment; I need to go to the restroom,' pretending to go to the restroom. This referred to the video from 'How Are You Doing,' which talked about Moon Won's divorce and daughter. Shin Ji shouted at Baek Ga, 'You're gonna die!' causing everyone to burst into laughter.
Kim Dae-hee couldn't help but burst into laughter upon seeing Baek Ga back at the table. He expressed, 'This is why I love and adore Koyote. They have wit,' and showed support for Koyote's ability to turn the controversy over Shin Ji's wedding announcement into laughter.
Shin Ji is scheduled to marry her junior singer Moon Won in the first half of 2026. Previously, there was criticism after Moon Won confessed to having a daughter and his divorce after his relationship with Shin Ji deepened, as well as his conduct during meetings with Koyote members. In this regard, Moon Won delivered a heartfelt apology through his personal social media while denying allegations about his past. Shin Ji remarked, 'Many supporters have emerged. I think it was good to read the comments without leaving them. If you're thinking about marriage, please watch over us slowly.'
Additionally, Koyote released their new full-group song 'Call Me' on the 6th, continuing the legacy of long-standing mixed groups.
