As reports emerged that Shinji of the mixed group Koyote had completed a meeting with her fiancé, Moon Won, the agency immediately denied the claims, stating that they are "not true."
On the 8th, Shinji's agency, Jayistar, stated to OSEN that "the claim that Shinji and Moon Won have completed a meeting between both families is entirely false," drawing a line regarding the recent rumors about the meeting. This clarification was in response to claims made by a YouTuber who is a former journalist, stating that "Shinji and Moon Won have already had their family meeting, and fellow Koyote members Baekga and Kim Jong-min are also supportive of their marriage."
Although the YouTube video contained a message indicating that the couple's wedding is proceeding as planned without disruption, the agency strongly refuted this, expressing concern over the misinformation regarding their wedding preparations.
Shinji attracted attention by officially announcing her plan to marry the 7-year-younger singer Moon Won in the first half of next year on June 23. Due to scheduling conflicts, they had already completed their wedding shoot in advance.
However, on July 2, a concept video for the meeting released on Shinji's personal YouTube channel revealed Moon Won's past divorce and the fact that he has a daughter from his ex-wife, sparking controversy. Following the video release, criticism from internet users regarding Moon Won's words and actions surged, and there were exposure comments from so-called acquaintances on social media and online communities, indicating that the situation is not settling down easily.
In response, the agency stated, "We are thoroughly verifying the facts surrounding various suspicions regarding Moon Won," maintaining a cautious stance.
As the controversy escalated, Moon Won directly addressed the situation through his social media, stating, "It is true that I worked without qualifications at a real estate agency, and I deeply regret it." However, he fully denied allegations regarding school violence, bullying during military service, and negative claims during the divorce process.
Amid cautious scrutiny, attention remains on whether the couple's wedding can proceed as planned.
