Koyote's Shinji is proceeding with her marriage to her fiancé, Moonwon, despite the risks involved. While fans are expressing their concerns, the members who have observed them the longest and the agency support his choice.
On the 8th, Shinji's agency, Jayzy Star, expressed, "We sincerely appreciate all those who have shown interest, love, and concern for our artist, Ms. Shinji. We are also not taking lightly the recent controversies surrounding Mr. Moonwon and the various allegations that have arisen," and apologized for the controversies surrounding Moonwon that have surfaced.
A representative stated, "Mr. Moonwon received unexpected attention when the news of their marriage was revealed early. It seems that he has had confusing times amidst this sudden attention, and while trying to manage various schedules, including broadcasts, some immature aspects may have been exposed."
In particular, the agency stated, "We have been observing Mr. Moonwon's attitude toward Ms. Shinji for a long time. They love each other just like any other couple and are steadfastly supporting one another. Therefore, when we first heard the news of their marriage plans from Ms. Shinji, we sincerely congratulated them more than anyone else."
Earlier, while sharing the news of his marriage next year, Shinji properly introduced her fiancé during a meal with Koyote members Kim Jong-min and Baekga. At this gathering, Moonwon surprised both Kim Jong-min and Baekga by revealing, "Actually, I was married once. I have a lovely daughter. My ex-wife is raising the child, but we are communicating and working hard for the child."
Shinji, who was sitting next to him, expressed her unwavering affection for Moonwon, saying, “At first, I had many worries, but because I like you and love you, I was able to be accepting. His responsible demeanor gave me trust. His efforts to protect and care for the child positively resonated with me.”
In response to the couple's honest confessions, Kim Jong-min remarked, “Being responsible is important. If Shinji knows this, then no one should question it. As long as the two are happy, that’s all that matters.” Baekga added, “If the two truly love each other, that is enough. This setting feels even more genuine.”
As this news became known, many netizens sent both concern and congratulations toward Shinji. In response, a fan commented on Shinji's social media, "Sister, I'm a fan, and you really need to be careful about choosing men. Dating and marriage are different. Anyway, I respect your judgment and hope you are blessed and find a good path," to which Shinji replied, "Thank you."
Despite this, some netizens spread rumors about Mr. Moonwon's past allegations of conducting real estate business without a real estate agent's license, comments about bullying during school and military service, and rumors regarding his divorce from his ex-wife and allegations of having an affair.
Shinji's agency stated, "As these related issues have gained attention and various false facts have been spread, Mr. Moonwon's ex-wife is also concerned about the damage from personal information leaks," asserting that the various allegations surrounding Moonwon are false.
At the same time, "Mr. Moonwon has acknowledged his shortcomings and promised to work on the issues you have pointed out. Ms. Shinji has also stated that through this incident, she feels a greater sense of responsibility and will closely heed your words and repay your trust and love. Please give them ample time and watch over them with warm eyes," asking for the fans' support.
Above all, "We respect Ms. Shinji's opinion. On the 8th, Ms. Shinji is sweating it out filming a music video for Koyote's comeback. We will do our utmost in the remaining time to greet you in a good shape this August," expressing unwavering support for Shinji's choice.
