Ailee's agency, A2Z Entertainment, revealed on the 19th, "The two met through an acquaintance and have been in a relationship for about a year," and disclosed the wedding date.
Also, Ailee posted a lengthy message on her fan cafe at midnight on the 19th, saying, "The bright and energetic person you all have nurtured has now grown into who I am today and decided to marry someone with whom I can share all this love." She continued, "I met a person who offered me his shoulder to lean on and I felt a strong desire to spend my life with him due to his understanding and consideration."
Ailee also plans to continue her activities as a singer, such as performances, album preparation, and broadcasts, even while preparing for her wedding.
Ailee's fiancé, Choi Sihoon, is a former actor who gained recognition through Netflix’s 'Single's Inferno.' He is currently focusing on F&B and MCN businesses after halting his entertainment activities.
Below is Ailee’s full message:
Hello, this is Ailee.
I wanted to personally share some news with our Aleeans, who have supported and loved me for 12 years, so I am writing this letter with all my sincerity, one word at a time.
After the news of my relationship was shared earlier this year with many congratulations, I had many emotions. I felt very grateful seeing how much everyone liked it, was surprised, and even worried about me. However, I also felt sorry that I couldn’t share this news with you first. Thank you so much to all the fans who understood my silence and waited for this day.
At the young age of 22, I came to Korea alone and lived away from my family, standing before you with my love for music. Thanks to your unconditional love and support, I was able to adapt well to life in Korea without feeling lonely. The bright and energetic person you raised has now grown into who I am today and decided to marry someone with whom I can share all this love. As the eldest daughter in the family, I’ve always been taking care of others and sacrificing. I met a wonderful and strong person who offered me his shoulder to lean on, and because of his understanding and consideration, I felt that I wanted to spend my life with him. After a year of dating, we have decided to hold the wedding next April.
Since my debut, I’ve always felt that I am a person with many shortcomings, but once again, I sincerely thank the Aleeans who have supported and loved me until now. I will never forget it and will continue to work harder and strive to live a more mature life, giving my best. Please continue to support the future of the two of us, and we will live happily! Thank you for reading this long letter despite my awkwardness. -Ailee
