Ailee is glowing with happiness as she prepares to marry her fiancé, Choi Si Hoon, in April, and she’s not bothered by the extra pounds she’s gained along the way!

On January 18, Ailee appeared on Hangout with Yoo and shared heartwarming details about her proposal.

She admitted that at first, she didn’t want a traditional proposal because it felt too strange, but her boyfriend, Choi Si Hoon, had other plans.

He secretly prepared everything, even filming a video letter with special messages from her family and friends in the U.S.

Ailee teared up as she showed off her beautiful diamond ring. “It was exactly my style. I cried a lot,” she revealed.

Choi Si Hoon’s sweet words in the video letter made Ailee emotional. “I’m happy to have the chance to do a small event. Our second chapter in life is about to begin. I will protect you forever, always be by your side, and I’ll scold anyone who bothers you,” he said. His heartfelt message was a touching moment for both Ailee and the viewers.

Yoo Jae Suk, the host, gifted the couple with matching mugs, slippers, and pajamas, and even arranged a live call with Choi Si Hoon.

He shared how much he admired Ailee, saying, “My wife is an amazing person. There were difficult times, but I wanted to marry her to protect such a wonderful woman.”

Choi Si Hoon’s deep affection for Ailee was clear as he expressed his desire to make her happy and healthy for the long run.

Ailee and Choi Si Hoon, who met on Netflix’s Single’s Inferno and dated for a year, are set to marry on April 20. Choi Si Hoon, who became popular on the show, is currently focusing on F&B and MCN businesses.

Ailee proudly shared that they’re already living together, and Yoo Jae Suk playfully told Choi Si Hoon to save him a seat at the wedding.

In the same episode, Ailee formed a project group with Im Ji U, Park Jin Ju, and NMIXX’s Haewon, where they remade Toy’s classic hit “Still Beautiful” from 1999.

During the recording, Ailee joked about how she tends to gain weight after breakups, even rewriting the lyrics to say, “I’ve gained some weight.” Her humor made everyone laugh as she embraced her current, happiest self despite the changes in her body.

Ailee may be dealing with some weight gain, but it’s clear that she’s never been happier. With her upcoming wedding and her amazing relationship with Choi Si Hoon, Ailee is truly living her best life!

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!
