It has been revealed that singer Yoonha (Ko Yoon-ha, 37)'s husband is the famous science YouTuber Science Cookie (Lee Hyu-jong, 36).
On the 31st, Sporty News reported that Yoonha held her wedding ceremony at a hotel in Jung-gu, Seoul, on the afternoon of the 30th. The private wedding was attended by over 80 family members and friends, and Paul Kim reportedly sang 'Every Day, Every Moment' as a congratulatory song.
Yoonha's agency C9 Entertainment stated, "It is difficult for us to confirm details of the artist's private life."
However, congratulatory comments on Science Cookie's YouTube video continued to pour in. Fans left comments such as, "Did people come rushing in because of Yoonha's wedding news?" "Congratulations on your marriage!" and "Please take good care of our singer Yoonha." Lee then liked each of the comments, which is interpreted as indirectly acknowledging his marriage to Yoonha.
Lee is a YouTuber who has garnered over 440,000 subscribers by delivering various scientific theories in an easy and entertaining manner. His YouTube video series was selected as an excellent scientific cultural product by the Ministry of Science and ICT and the Korea Foundation for the Advancement of Science & Creativity in 2018. A former physics teacher, he majored in physics education at Kongju National University and obtained a master's degree in scientific journalism from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology. He is currently also working as a science-related speaker.
Yoonha has showcased music inspired by space and science, earning her the nickname "space goddess." The chart-topping song 'Event Horizon' conveyed a story beyond separation compared to the boundary of a black hole, while 'Other Clouds' personified Voyager, set to arrive at the solar system's border approximately 300 years later, expressing the spirit of challenge. She has also released numerous songs such as 'Comet,' 'Fragment of a Star,' and 'Shooting Star.'
In 2023, Yoonha was the only artist invited to a luncheon hosted by the President titled 'Meeting with pioneers in the global space economy in the New Space Era.' At that time, Yoonha noted, "I believe I was able to be with you here because I sang songs about stars and space," and added, "These are results that could not have been born without the achievements of science. I express my gratitude and respect to the researchers who quietly study in one field, the engineers who always design new things, and the technicians who realize them."
Meanwhile, on the 5th, Yoonha posted a handwritten letter on her fan cafe stating, "I have met a reliable partner in life and have gotten married." Science Cookie expressed his affection on his social media by saying he is "in love."
