Singer Ailee will be tying the knot with businessman and former actor Choi Si Hoon on April 20 next year. The announcement, made by A2Z Entertainment on November 19, has sparked excitement among fans who have long supported her journey.

Ailee publicly confirmed her relationship with a non-celebrity businessman in March of this year, with the identity of her partner later revealed as Choi Si Hoon in May. The couple’s relationship, which began with marriage in mind, has been a source of happiness for both of them.

According to her agency, Ailee and Choi Si Hoon were introduced through mutual friends and have spent the past year building a deep bond. A spokesperson from A2Z Entertainment stated, “The two have developed a strong connection based on love and trust and have made a mutual commitment to marriage.”

The announcement also included a message of gratitude to fans who have supported the couple’s relationship since it became public. “We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to all the fans who have sent their congratulations and warm wishes,” the agency conveyed on behalf of the couple.

Ailee also took to her fan café to personally share the news, expressing her joy and excitement. “I’ve found someone who shares my energy and brightness, and this love has led me to decide to marry,” she wrote. She went on to explain, “I have met someone who offers his shoulder for me to lean on. His thoughtfulness made me realize that I want to spend the rest of my life with him.”

Ailee made her official debut in 2012 with the digital single Heaven, quickly rising to fame with hits like I Will Show You and I Will Go to You Like the First Snow. Known for her powerful voice and emotional performances, she has since become one of South Korea’s beloved vocalists.

Choi Si Hoon, who initially gained public attention as an actor, appeared on the Netflix reality show Single’s Inferno, which helped him reach a wider audience. Although he has stepped away from the entertainment industry, he has since focused on F&B and MCN business ventures.

Ailee’s upcoming marriage marks a new chapter in both her personal and professional life, with fans eager to see what lies ahead for the celebrated artist.
