Koyote member Shinji (43) revealed her deep affection for the group and its members, tearing up during a broadcast.
In the tvN entertainment show ‘You Quiz on the Block’ airing on the 16th, Shinji, along with fellow members Kim Jong-min and Baekga, will share their journey and teamwork over the past 25 years.
In a personal interview, Shinji mentioned the recent controversy surrounding her private life, saying, “I recalled old memories thinking that the members might have been hurt because of me,” unable to hold back her emotions. Struggling to continue, she said, “To me, Koyote is just family. The person Shinji exists as Koyote,” while tearing up.
Baekga also shared, “When my mother was critically ill, the members came to the hospital without saying a word,” and added, “Seeing them stay by my side throughout the funeral made me realize that this team is not just colleagues but a real family.”
On the 23rd of last month, Shinji announced her marriage to singer Moon Won, who is seven years younger. However, following this, controversies regarding Moon's divorce history and whether he has children emerged, leading to ongoing discussions about her private life online.
The members are expected to convey their heartfelt emotions towards the members who supported them during their toughest times, bringing a touching moment.
The story of Kim Jong-min, who overcame the worst slump with ‘1 Night 2 Days’ and even won an entertainment award, along with Shinji's confession about her past stage fright and the stories of the members who upheld true family loyalty during Baekga's mother's passing, will also draw attention.
Since their debut in 1998, Koyote has been a representative long-lasting mixed group that has gained consistent popularity through numerous hit songs such as ‘Pure Love’, ‘Dreaming’, and ‘Blue’.
