On October 7, YouTuber Lee Jin-ho uploaded a video titled 'Cancel the Wedding? Nationwide Opposition to Marriage... Shinji's Real Reaction' on his channel.
In the video, Lee Jin-ho stated, "Shinji was aware of the public opposition to her marriage. Although it's her first marriage, her fiancé is a divorcee with a child and lacks a strong career. She didn't expect such widespread public disapproval." He further claimed, "According to my investigation, the couple seems likely to marry and have already had a family meeting."
However, Shinji's agency clarified through multiple media outlets, "The couple has not yet had a formal family meeting."
The YouTuber also acknowledged, "After the video was released, the agency refuted the claim, stating 'there was no formal meeting.' Upon further verification, it was confirmed that while both families have met informally, there was no official meeting. The agency cited a communication error and apologized for any confusion caused."
Previously, in a video on Shinji's YouTube channel, Moon Won expressed surprise at Shinji's fame, sparking public curiosity. On the same day, allegations against Moon Won surfaced, including school violence, infidelity leading to divorce, bullying during military service, and unlicensed real estate dealings. Moon Won admitted to the real estate allegations on his social media on October 3 but denied all other accusations.
Meanwhile, Shinji, who plans to marry Moon Won next spring, will make her first public appearance since the 'nationwide marriage opposition' controversy on October 9, alongside Baek Ga on KBS Cool FM's 'Park Myung-soo's Radio Show.'
