South Korean singer KCM is finally set to hold his wedding ceremony on October 4th, a significant event occurring 14 years after the birth of his first child. His agency, A2Z Entertainment, confirmed the ceremony will take place at the Floating Island of Sevitseom in Seoul.
I am happy to be able to keep my promise with my wife after 14 years.
KCM expressed his joy at fulfilling a promise to his wife after so many years. "I am happy to be able to keep my promise with my wife after 14 years," he stated through his agency. He attributed this moment to his wife's silent endurance through difficult times and the courage inspired by his three children. The wedding is planned as a heartfelt occasion to express gratitude to loved ones and to solidify his commitment to his family for the rest of his life.
It is thanks to my wife who silently endured difficult times and my three children who gave me courage every moment.
The singer and his wife, Bang Ye-won, welcomed their first daughter, Su-yeon, in 2012. However, personal setbacks, including KCM's military service and a business failure that left him with significant debt, prevented them from holding a formal wedding ceremony at the time. They officially registered their marriage in 2021, becoming legal spouses.
The wedding is being prepared as a moment to express my resolve to live for my family for the rest of my life and my gratitude to precious people.
Following their first daughter, the couple welcomed a second daughter, Seo-yeon, in 2022, and are expecting their third child, a son named Ha-on, in 2025. KCM had previously shared in various media appearances that the financial difficulties and debt incurred from his business failure led him to delay announcing his marriage and the existence of his children until much later.
I am also sincerely grateful to the fans who have supported me unchangingly for a long time.
