Shin Ji, a member of the K-pop group Koyote, has officially announced her wedding date.

On January 26, Shin Ji shared the news of her upcoming marriage to Moon One through a handwritten letter posted on her personal account.

“First and foremost, I sincerely thank everyone who has supported and cherished me consistently for 27 years, despite my shortcomings. I would like to formally announce the most significant moment of my life—my marriage,” Shin Ji wrote. She continued, “As we spent more time together, our bond deepened, our trust grew, and I became thankful to have someone who is entirely on my side. We have become stronger through relying on each other.”

Marking a new chapter in her life, Shin Ji revealed, “Moon One and I plan to hold our wedding in May.” She added, “I am well aware of the heartfelt concerns and worries from many people. I will not forget them and promise to continue moving forward, one steady step at a time, just as I always have.” Concluding her letter, she said, “I will also strive to continue my career as a singer with even greater dedication.”

Shin Ji first revealed her relationship with Moon One, a singer seven years her junior, last year. At that time, she stated, “We are happily dating, and when the time comes for our wedding next year, I will share the news myself.” Later, it was disclosed that Moon One has a previous marriage and a daughter. Criticism also surfaced regarding Moon One’s behavior toward other Koyote members, with some calling it disrespectful.

As public opposition to the couple’s marriage grew, Shin Ji responded, “I have seen the comments about Moon One. It hurt my feelings, and I was worried it might have negatively affected the other members as well. While I understand that most people were simply concerned about me, since the wedding was still some time away, I hoped everyone would watch over us with patience.”

Fans have shown their support for Shin Ji as she prepares for her marriage. Comments poured in expressing heartfelt congratulations, such as: “Congratulations on your marriage! Wishing you endless happiness,” “I wish you both a future filled with joy, just as you are now,” and “I was curious when the wedding would be—it turns out to be in May. Congratulations!”
