Lee Min-woo, a member of the group Shinhwa, will tie the knot with a precious relationship that has stood by him for a long time.

On the 25th, Lee Min-woo announced this news to his fan club 'Shinhwa Changjo' through his social media, hinting at a new chapter in his life.

In a handwritten letter, he began by saying, "Recently, after going through various situations, I felt mentally exhausted and tired. Spending a lot of time with my family made me reflect on its meaning again." This suggests that the realization he gained from overcoming his emotional struggles significantly influenced his decision to marry.

He officially announced his marriage, saying, "I had a vague desire to build my own family where we support each other someday," and "During this time, I confirmed that my precious relationship, which I have known for a long time, shares the same feelings, and we decided to become one family."

Lee Min-woo's letter contained special affection and consideration for his fans. He expressed, "Thinking about how surprised Shinhwa Changjo might be with this sudden news, I really struggled with how to convey it," adding, "If you hear the news from somewhere other than me, I thought about how disappointed and upset you would feel, so I wanted to share the news in my clumsy writing first."

He continued, "More than anyone, I want to be congratulated by Shinhwa Changjo, whom I cherish the most," and added, "I hope you will bless my heartfelt story with warm hearts," asking for the fans' support.

Finally, Lee Min-woo promised to continue his activities unchanged after marriage. "There will be changes in my life in the future, but I will meet you as Lee Min-woo, who continues to perform on stage and anywhere, powered by the love of Shinhwa Changjo and my family," he conveyed his firm determination.

Meanwhile, the 'mentally exhausting and tiring' period mentioned in Lee Min-woo's marriage announcement seems to be closely related to the fraud case of 2.6 billion won he suffered from a close acquaintance.

In the past, Lee Min-woo was defrauded of nearly 2.6 billion won by Mr. A, a friend and business partner of 20 years. Mr. A approached Lee Min-woo by exploiting the fact that he was the biological sister of a Shinhwa member, and it was reported that he extorted money from him through years of gaslighting and threats, causing shock.

Lee Min-woo appeared on a broadcast program and revealed, "I was in a mentally dominated state. I was gaslighted every day, and even breathing was difficult," expressing the extreme mental pain he experienced at that time.

As a result of this incident, Lee Min-woo suffered not only financial loss but also deep emotional wounds from being betrayed by someone he trusted. However, he overcame this difficult time with the support of his family and fans, and finally announced a new beginning with his life partner. The perpetrator of the fraud case was sentenced to 9 years in prison through trial.
