'Ryeowook♥' Ari finally admits to marriage in person
Ari announced the news of her marriage to Ryeowook, saying, "At the end of May this spring, I also have some warm news to share. I am now planning to become family with someone I have been with for a long time."
He continued, “We would like to express our gratitude to everyone who has supported, understood, and encouraged us so far, and on the other hand, we feel sorry for those who have been hurt by our decision.” He added, “We will act with more responsibility in the future and help you all.” “To avoid any concerns, I will carefully protect my family, be considerate of you, and live well,” he wrote.
Previously, Ryeowook announced the news of his marriage through his SNS on the 29th of last month. A photo of a handwritten letter was also posted. In the letter, Ryeowook said, “I have news that I want to share directly with our elves and my most precious friends.”
Ryeowook said, “As you know, there is a friend I am meeting,” and “During the time we spent together, I naturally developed a desire to become another family with him.” He then announced, “It is not a sudden decision, we have been thinking about it for a long time, and after a long discussion with the members and company, we will be getting married at the end of May this spring.”
He also expressed his feelings toward his fans. Ryeowook said, “I am always grateful to the ELFs who supported me even though I was not perfect and clumsy, and on the other hand, I feel sorry for those of you who were surprised by this news.” He added, “Nevertheless, please support me on performing with the members. “I will continue to show everyone who wants to listen to my songs that I will continue to work hard as Ryeowook of Super Junior and as Ryeowook the singer,” he said.
Ryeowook's agency, SM Entertainment, said in a statement, "The wedding will be held privately out of consideration for the bride-to-be and her family. We hope you will send a lot of support and congratulations to Ryeowook as he prepares for a new start in life."
Ryeowook debuted as a member of the group Super Junior in 2005. In 2020, he acknowledged his romantic relationship with Ari, a member of the group Tahiti. Ari is 7 years younger than Ryeowook.
