Ailee began her post by reflecting on her journey, saying, “When I was 22, I came to Korea alone, far from my family, and stood in front of you with the music I loved. Thanks to your unwavering support, I was able to adjust to life in Korea without feeling lonely.” She continued, "Through the love and energy you’ve given me, I’ve grown into the person I am today, and now I’ve met someone I can share all this love with, which is why I’ve decided to get married."

She shared her thoughts about her fiancé, saying, “I've always cared for others, but now I've found someone who has offered me support and care.

Ailee also expressed her deep appreciation for her fans, stating, "I am still someone who has a lot to learn, but I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your love and support. I promise to work harder and show a more mature side of myself in the future."

Ailee's agency, A2Z Entertainment, confirmed the news on November 19, announcing that the couple will marry on April 20, 2024. They shared that Ailee and Choi Si Hoon met through a mutual acquaintance and have been in a relationship for about a year.

IU recently revealed that she watched her own concert film in a public theater, but shockingly, no one recognized her—even when she dropped a hint!

On February 27, a new video featuring IU was released, showing her inside a car on her way to Daejeon.

She excitedly shared, “This is a surprise stage greeting for UAENA! I picked this location through a ladder game when I did stage greetings.”

Previously, IU had let fate decide which city she would visit after her stage greetings. She happily said, “There are UAENAs everywhere I go. Wherever I go, it's a flowery path.” The game ultimately led her to Daejeon.

IU originally hoped to explore the city, saying, “I wanted to visit Daejeon's pride, Sung Sim Dang, and walk around, but my team said it wouldn’t be possible. The lines are too long, and it’s freezing outside.” She sighed, adding, “So, things turned out this way.”

Dressed up for the occasion, IU smiled, saying, “I don’t get to meet UAENAs in Daejeon often, so I wanted to make a surprise appearance looking my best.”

She also joked about enjoying surprise events, adding, “As long as Hanteo oppa drives me safely, I’m happy.”

But what really caught fans' attention was IU’s unexpected confession—she had secretly watched her concert film in a theater, but no one noticed her! “No one recognized me at all. There weren’t that many people, and it was a weekday… but still! I even gave a hint!” she said, sounding both amused and surprised.

Later, when IU finally appeared at the theater, her fans were overwhelmed with emotion. Some even burst into tears, prompting her to gently say, “You really didn’t expect me to come, right?”

After wrapping up her stage greeting, IU laughed at herself, saying, “Wait, did I just do a 40-minute one-woman show? I must have talked so much.”

On her way back to Seoul, IU reflected on the day, sharing, “It was so cold today. I shook hands with all the UAENAs. My hands are usually cold, and since the weather was freezing, I think I made a lot of people’s hands cold, too. But after touching so many warm hands, mine became warm, too. I still haven’t washed them.”

Her love for her fans truly knows no bounds!
