Shinji of the group Koyote confessed her feelings about the controversy following her marriage announcement with singer Moonwon.
On the 16th, Koyote appeared as guests on tvN’s ‘You Quiz on the Block’.
On this day, Baekga revealed a photo of Koyote set as his phone background, saying, “I see it every day without thinking, but when I looked at it, I realized we are family.”
He continued, “Suddenly, I thought of Lee Seung-hwan’s ‘Family’. I was playing it while showering, and I felt like I was about to cry. Koyote’s 27 years flashed back. I realized that I really think about the members.”
Shinji indirectly mentioned the controversy she faced due to her recent marriage announcement with Moonwon. She said, “I must have been upset because the story was going in a bad direction. I think that made me reflect on the past.”
Shinji stated, “I need to do well. For me, Koyote is family, and Koyote is Shinji, and Shinji is Koyote. It seems to connect naturally.” She added, “I worry that this incident might affect the team, so I read all the comments and reactions. Comments like ‘Koyote ended because of you’ are scarier than any other comment. The comment ‘Koyote failed because of you’ hurts the most, more than anything.”
She continued, “We are strong, but I worry that because of me, the members might also be swept away and hated. However, the members always say, ‘We started with nothing,’ and ‘We are here for you,’ which gives me a lot of strength. I feel sorry too.”
Kim Jongmin comforted Shinji, saying, “It must have been hard to accept what was happening outside while protecting Koyote since you were really young, but from now on, I hope you take care of yourself and focus on your happiness.”
Shinji expressed her affection to Baekga, saying, “Sometimes when you say, ‘Koyote can go on without me,’ it really upsets me and Kim Jongmin. Koyote can only be complete with you, so please never think that way again.”
Baekga revealed his affection, saying, “I am really living thanks to both of you. I love our members.”
