Simultaneously, Shinji is busy preparing for her wedding. She announced her marriage to Moon Won, a singer seven years her junior, and shared a video of a meeting with Koyote members. However, controversies arose regarding Moon Won's past, including his divorce, existence of children, allegations of infidelity, and unlicensed real estate dealings. Shinji's agency has stated that most of these claims are untrue.

The agency clarified that Moon Won worked as a legally registered assistant in real estate, with no illegal activities involved. Additionally, Moon Won amicably divorced, and his ex-wife supports their marriage.
