Idol Member Who Stood Alongside Girls’ Generation and KARA Announces Marriage [Full Statement]

Hyomin, a member of the iconic K-pop group T-ara, has spoken about her upcoming marriage.

On February 12, she took to her Instagram Stories to express her gratitude, writing, "Thank you so much for all the love and support." This comes after news of her wedding broke in the media the day before.

Hyomin revealed that the marriage reports coincided with the launch of a brand she has been collaborating with, leaving her little time to respond personally to all the messages. She added, "I'm sorry I couldn't reply to everyone individually. I was surprised that the news came out first, but I will share more good news with you soon."

Hyomin is set to tie the knot on April 6 in a private ceremony in Seoul. Her fiancé is a non-celebrity working in the finance industry, though no further details have been disclosed.

T-ara debuted on July 29, 2009, with their first mini album Lies, quickly rising to fame with hits like Bo Peep Bo Peep, Roly-Poly, Lovey-Dovey, Cry Cry, and Day by Day. Alongside Girls’ Generation and KARA, they were one of the leading girl groups of the second generation of K-pop. Most recently, the group reunited with fans at a special 15th-anniversary fan meeting.

Here is Hyomin’s full message:

"Thank you so much for all the love and support. Yesterday was the launch day for a brand I’ve been working with, so I wasn’t able to respond to everyone individually. I’m sorry for that."

"I was surprised that the news came out first, but I’ll be back soon with good news. Wishing you all a happy new year!"
