"I will live as a wife, not as someone’s daughter."
Choi Jun-hee, the daughter of the late Choi Jin-sil, officially announced her marriage coming this May. Beyond just a marriage announcement, she has drawn attention by expressing her firm and honest feelings about the indiscriminate speculation surrounding her.
On the 16th, Choi Jun-hee posted a lengthy message on her social media along with the marriage news. She explained the background of her decision to marry, saying, "The word family has always been a painful and cold existence for me, but now I want to create my own warm shelter." She expressed her determination to live strongly as a member of a new family, leaving behind her gloomy childhood.
The groom, who has garnered interest, has been revealed to be a non-celebrity 11 years older than her. Choi Jun-hee politely requested that people refrain from spreading unverified rumors or excessive digging into her fiancé's personal life. She expressed gratitude to fans who congratulated her despite the sudden announcement, emphasizing that although there were moments of uncertainty, she ultimately chose love and happiness.
In particular, Choi Jun-hee expressed deep regret over the 'sensational reports' that arose during the marriage announcement process. She pointed out that articles about the erroneous dating period and allegations of underage dating were reported without her consent, stating, "It is unfortunate that the most precious moment of my life is consumed as sensational content." She urged for reports based on accurate fact-checking.
She also clarified misunderstandings related to her acquaintances, especially regarding broadcaster Hong Jin-kyung. In response to reports claiming 'Hong Jin-kyung's permission for marriage,' Choi Jun-hee stated, "Aunt Hong Jin-kyung said, 'What qualification do I have to give permission? I just wish you to live well,' and offered her heartfelt congratulations." It is known that Hong Jin-kyung has quietly supported their relationship, being aware of their dating.
Choi Jun-hee made it clear that this marriage signifies her independence and growth as a human being, not just a gossip topic. Meanwhile, Choi Jun-hee is currently active as an influencer, and her brother Choi Hwan-hee is communicating with the public as the rapper Z Flat.
