# Lovelyz’s Yoo Ji-ae, Kwak Si-yang’s Bride-to-Be
One of the most talked-about marriage announcements recently is that of Yoo Ji-ae and actor Kwak Si-yang, as they shared the news directly without a single dating rumor. While Yoo Ji-ae did not retire or halt her activities after Lovelyz’s disbandment, she drew significant interest by sharing her recent status through marriage.
The agencies of Yoo Ji-ae and Kwak Si-yang previously released an official statement saying, “The two are scheduled to hold their wedding ceremony this November. Having nurtured their love through about a year of meetings, they have promised a future based on deep trust and love.”
With a six-year age gap, Yoo Ji-ae and Kwak Si-yang reportedly developed into a romantic couple after crossing paths while visiting the same hair salon. Along with her marriage announcement, Yoo Ji-ae shared her personal thoughts directly through a handwritten letter, stating, “I have found someone who cherishes and relies on me, and with whom I want to spend our future. We have promised a new beginning with good hearts.”

Yujeong, formerly of the group Laboum, previously garnered attention on the 8th of last month by posting a handwritten letter on social media to announce her wedding. Yujeong directly stated, “This coming winter, I am getting married. I have met a good partner with whom I will spend the rest of my life.”
She continued, “I met a good, comforting, and reliable person who cherished me like a daughter—someone who made me realize every day how loved I am, even though I always thought I lived quite bravely and independently on my own.” She added that they had been quietly preparing for marriage over the past year.
Debuting with Laboum in 2014, Yujeong began her individual activities after the team disbanded in September 2021, seven years after their debut. Her groom-to-be is known to be a financier of the same age. On the 27th, she drew warm responses from fans by sharing photos of a reunion and ‘wedding invitation gathering’ with her fellow Laboum members.

Minhee, who promoted as a member of the group Stellar after debuting in 2011, retired from the industry following the group’s disbandment, but recently regained major attention with her marriage announcement. Back in April, Minhee shared wedding photos on her personal social media with the caption, “Yes.. I’m going too. On a wedding photoshoot day filled with pure happiness,” directly breaking the news.
Interest in Minhee’s wedding surged again in August when she revealed photos from a bridal shower with her former Stellar members. Minhee and her members posed in matching white dresses, transforming into lovely brides. Fans were delighted to see their enduring friendship with Stellar.
Although she had been living a quiet life after retiring from the entertainment industry, Minhee addressed the renewed attention by sharing her thoughts: “I met a kind and wonderful person who is most comforting and makes me smile the most when we are together, and we decided to spend the rest of our lives side by side. Some might be surprised by the sudden news, and it feels a bit shy to share such news after a long time, but I am truly grateful for your warm congratulations.”
