Singer and actor Kim Hyun Joong is getting married!

On February 27, TV Daily reported that Kim Hyun Joong would be tying the knot with a non-celebrity woman. The report said that the couple are not planning to hold a wedding due to COVID-19. The report also described the couple as “best friends” who have known each other for a long time.

Later on February 27, Kim Hyun Joong shared the news with fans himself at his gift concert, “Words I Want to Say.” He said, “I’m not sure how to say this. I have decided to spend the rest of my life with someone who has stayed by my side through my most difficult and exhausting time.”

"When I think back on my life up to this point, I've received so much interest and love," he concluded. I owe a debt of gratitude to all of you fans for remaining silently by my side during my darkest and most trying days. I believe today will be really significant since we will be able to meet in person and discuss like this. It was because of your love and support that I was able to summon the confidence to begin the second half of my life. Given the endless love and support I've received from fans, I felt I'd regret it for the rest of my life if I only expressed myself through words, so I wanted to use this occasion at this event to communicate this news."

The following statement was also made by Kim Hyun Joong's agency:

Hello, this is Henecia.

Today, our artist Kim Hyun Joong announced his marriage at his concert.

Due to the difficulties of the current situation [COVID-19], the couple has decided against holding a ceremony. Since his future spouse is not a celebrity, we have been cautious in releasing the news, so we ask for people’s understanding and also that people refrain from excessive speculation.

Their precious relationship began during a difficult time and are now taking their cautious first steps toward their shared life together. We ask for everyone’s warm support for the couple.

Kim Hyun Joong plans to continue to repay the support he’s been given with good music and various promotions, so we ask for your interest and support.
