Singer Shinji shared intimate details about her wedding ceremony on the MBN variety show 'Precious Family.' The episode, which aired on the 21st, focused on Shinji and her husband Moon Won's life together.
When I walked down the aisle, I deliberately didn't go with my dad because I thought I would cry, so I entered alone after asking for their understanding.
During the broadcast, Shinji recounted the emotional moments of her wedding day. She confessed that the ceremony felt like a 'tears-holding challenge.' To manage her emotions, she made the decision to walk down the aisle alone, after seeking permission, because she feared she would cry if she walked with her father.
Shinji also revealed that the moments she found most difficult to hold back tears were during the congratulatory songs and speeches by her friends, including Baek Ji Young and her bandmates from CoTae, and when she greeted her parents. The show also featured a reunion between Shinji and Moon Won and her other bandmates, Kim Jong Min and Baekga, at a campsite a month after the wedding. Moon Won read a heartfelt letter to Kim Jong Min and Baekga, expressing his gratitude.
It was the first reason that a friend I hadn't known as Lee Ji Sun, not as a celebrity, was getting married.
Baekga, who was visibly emotional during the wedding, explained his tears were primarily due to seeing his long-time friend, Lee Ji Sun (Shinji's real name), marry. He expressed his joy and congratulations, humorously adding that he had wondered who would 'take her away.' The show 'Precious Family' is a family observation reality program that explores the true meaning of family in a realistic way.
I was wondering who would take her away.
