Singer Ailee opened up about her romance with her fiancé, actor Choi Si Hoon, sharing heartwarming and funny moments from their journey to the altar.

On the January 11 episode of MBC’s Hangout With Yoo (Episode 262), the show featured a winter-themed segment titled "Christmas in the 13th Month", highlighting cozy seasonal music. Ailee appeared with John Park as one of the must-hear voices for the season.

Host Yoo Jae Suk couldn’t help but congratulate Ailee on her upcoming wedding in April, jokingly saying, "You’re marrying someone from Single’s Inferno," referring to Choi Si Hoon’s rise to fame. Laughing, Ailee responded, "That’s right, I escaped hell!"

When asked if she received a romantic proposal, Ailee shared her thoughts. "I didn’t get one, which feels a bit strange. In the U.S., people propose first before starting to plan the wedding, saying, 'Will you marry me?' Here, it’s different."

She added,"People date with marriage in mind and start preparing without the grand gesture", she explained.

She added with a laugh, "When we went to pick out rings, I just pointed and said, 'I want this one,' and that was it".

Ailee also shared a sweet detail about their wedding announcement. "In the official statement, he used my nickname! I’ve never seen anyone do that before. He wrote, 'I will take care of our Princess Yejin'. It was so sweet", she said, smiling.

Fans are counting down the days until Ailee ties the knot with Choi Si Hoon, with the couple’s wedding set for April 20. What do you think about their adorable love story? Let us know in the comments!

The upcoming SBS drama Love Scout, starring Han Ji Min and Lee Jun Hyuk, is already making headlines—but for all the wrong reasons.

Recent revelations about the show’s co-director, Ham Joon Ho, have sparked controversy. It was revealed that Ham Joon Ho had faced legal issues in 2020 for assault and defamation while intoxicated.

This incident led to disciplinary action within SBS and has raised questions about his involvement in the new project.

On January 13, the production team of Love Scout released an official apology, saying, "We deeply regret causing concern with unpleasant news related to PD Ham Joon Ho."

They confirmed the allegations, stating, "It is true that PD Ham Joon Ho was accused of assault and defamation while intoxicated in early 2020. However, he sincerely apologized to all victims, and the matter was resolved through forgiveness and mutual agreement."

They added, "He also received legal punishment for the incident. Additionally, reports about his prior criminal record from five years ago are unrelated to this case, as they involve a misdemeanor."

The team explained that Ham Joon Ho was suspended from his duties following the incident and spent three years reflecting on his actions before returning to directing. They added, "We kindly ask for viewers’ understanding."

The controversy began after online posts brought up the 2020 incident, sharing a news article from that time. The article described an SBS drama department employee, referred to as “A,” causing a disturbance in Hannam-dong, Seoul, while intoxicated. Police booked “A,” and due to their prior criminal record, an arrest warrant was requested but later denied.

It was later confirmed that “A” was PD Ham Joon Ho. After serving his suspension, he made his directorial comeback with the SBS drama Payback before taking on Love Scout.

Despite the production team's apology, the controversy has cast a shadow over the highly anticipated drama, leaving viewers wondering how it will impact the show’s reception.
