Singer John Park revealed the reason behind his secret wedding and shocked everyone with unexpected news about his family.

On the December 11th episode of MBC's Hangout With Yoo, the show hosted a Winter Song special featuring John Park and Ailee as guests.

While talking about winter-themed songs, the conversation took an interesting turn when Ailee mentioned her upcoming wedding to Single’s Inferno contestant Choi Si Hoon.

As the group discussed weddings, Yoo Jae Suk noticed John Park’s meaningful nod and said, “John Park looks like he knows something about this!”

John Park playfully responded, “Well, it’s a happy time for everyone.” Then, with a sly smile, he added, “It hasn’t been long for me either.”

This left everyone stunned. Yoo Jae Suk immediately exclaimed, “Wait, John Park got married? I didn’t know!” Actor Lee Yi Kyung also chimed in, “A lot of people didn’t know.”

Things got even more surprising when Mi Joo asked, “Don’t you have a child, too?” John Park confirmed, “Yes, I have a daughter.” Yoo Jae Suk, visibly shocked, said, “Congratulations! I really had no idea,” and offered heartfelt belated congratulations.

John Park then shared why he kept everything low-key. “Of course, getting married is a good thing, but I didn’t feel the need to make a big announcement. I wanted to invite people, but I was worried it might feel burdensome, so we decided to keep it small,” he explained.

Yoo Jae Suk assured him, “Why would it be a burden? If John Park invites us, we’ll always come!” He then asked about the wedding’s size, to which John Park jokingly replied, “It was a medium-sized wedding,” lightening the mood.

John Park married his non-celebrity wife in 2022 and welcomed their first daughter the following year. Fans are now praising the singer for his humble approach to such a big life event.

TWICE’s Jihyo has made headlines after purchasing a building worth a staggering 4 billion won in her 20s.

On May 2, Herald Economy reported that Jihyo bought a building in Seongdong-gu, Seongsu-dong 2-ga, Seoul, in early March of last year.

By the end of that month, she had completed the full payment and transferred ownership, with no mortgage attached, suggesting that the property was purchased entirely with cash.

Just a month after the purchase, Jihyo registered as a housing rental business operator and completed the registration for private rental housing.

As a housing rental business operator, she is eligible for tax benefits, such as reduced acquisition tax. However, she is also subject to certain regulations, including a 5% cap on rent increases, compliance with rental periods, and mandatory insurance for tenant deposits.

The building, which was built in 1986, has a land area of 152㎡ (45.98 pyeong) and a total floor area of 330.21㎡ (99.89 pyeong). It includes one basement level and three floors above ground.

The property is situated in Seongsu Strategic Redevelopment Zone 2, an area currently undergoing redevelopment.

Given the area's future potential, it is believed that Jihyo's investment is more focused on the property's long-term value rather than immediate rental income.
