Singers Eun Ga-eun and Park Hyun-ho announced their marriage, and at the same time explained and apologized for the manipulation suspicions of Channel A’s ‘Nowadays Men‘s Life - Groom Class’ (abbreviated as Groom Class).

Eun Ga-eun wrote on her Instagram account on the 22nd, “Today, I will carefully tell you my story as Kim Ji-eun, not as singer Eun Ga-eun” and “Since my relationship with (Park) Hyun-ho began on March 21, 2024, many good things have happened to me. The happiest thing was that I got to show many people through a broadcast how pretty I was with Hyun-ho”.

Eun Ga-eun said, “Unlike the sudden dating rumors, I wanted to talk about my marriage first with my own mouth... While I was thinking about how to express my feelings and convey my sincerity, I feel a little sad that the (marriage) article came up first this time as well, but I want to be really honest about my position now,” she said. “With the blessings of my family, Park Hyun-ho and I will begin our relationship as a married couple on April 12, 2025.”

Eun Ga-eun said, “Hyun-ho is a man who cares for and takes care of me more in places that are not visible than in places that are visible, and he is a man who says that making me smile is the happiest thing. He is a person who gives me comfort and stability as if he is always by my side, not just when we are together, but even when we are physically apart, and I have come to have confidence in Hyun-ho after dating him for 8 months,” explaining her feelings for Park Hyun-ho.

Eun Ga-eun said, “In the process of showing these aspects of myself to my fans, I was unable to show them in real time, and I caused confusion to my fans. Everything is new to me, so there are many things I am awkward about, but please cheer me on so that I can take my first steps with Hyunho,” he said. “The weather has gotten a lot colder lately, so please be careful not to catch a cold and I will live well in return for the warm interest and love you have shown us as a couple. Thank you.”

Park Hyunho also announced his marriage, saying, “I will be getting married to Eun Ga-eun, the love who silently came to my life and the woman who has become my benefactor, on April 12, 2025, when the wind of flowers blows.”

Park Hyunho explained, “I dreamed of building a pretty family with Eun Ga-eun, and I found out that Ga-eun shares the same dream as I do. As we got to know each other, our love, trust, and faith deepened, and we decided to be together for the rest of our lives.”

Park Hyunho said, “While preparing for the wedding, we had a lot to discuss, so we have been spending a lot of time together recently. As we tried to tell more of our story, we couldn’t show it in real time, and in the process, we confused our fans. We will continue to show our wedding preparation process together with the production crew of ‘Groom Class’. We will show you many pretty images. Please look forward to seeing me grow into an even better groom together with the beautiful bride, Ga-eun, in the spring. We will love passionately and live diligently. Thank you for your blessings.“

The production crew of ‘Groom Class’ also expressed their position on the manipulation allegations. The production crew of ‘Groom Class’ told Donga.com, ”We went through the process of preparing for the two people‘s wedding together, and as it is a private and sensitive subject, we proceeded after sufficient consultation with the cast. However, due to the unavoidable difference in the time of the first house date and the filming and broadcast dates, we were unable to reflect the real time, so we apologize for causing confusion to viewers.”Here is Eun Ga-eun’s full SNS post

Hello, this is Eun Ga-eun. Today, I will carefully tell you my story as Kim Ji-eun, not as singer Eun Ga-eun.

Since my relationship with Hyunho began on March 21, 2024, many good things have happened to me. The happiest thing was that I got to show many people through a broadcast the pretty sight of Hyunho and I meeting.

Unlike the sudden dating rumors, I wanted to be the first to talk about the marriage with my own mouth... I was wondering how I could express my feelings and convey my sincerity, and it‘s a bit unfortunate that the article came up first this time too, but I’d like to be truly honest about my position now.

With the blessings of our families, Park Hyun-ho and I will begin our relationship as a married couple on April 12, 2025.

Hyun-ho is a man who cares for and takes care of me more in places that are not visible than in places that are visible, and he says that making me smile is the happiest thing. He is a person who gives me comfort and stability as if he is always by my side, not just when we are together, but also when we are physically apart, and I have come to have confidence in Hyun-ho after dating him for 8 months. In the process of showing these aspects of myself to my fans, I was unable to show them in real time, and I caused confusion to my fans. Everything is new to me, so there will be many things I‘m awkward about, but please cheer me on so that I can take my first steps with Hyunho.

The weather has gotten a lot colder lately, so please be careful not to catch a cold and I will live well with a heart that repays the warm interest and love for our couple. ~~~♥ Thank you ^^

Hello!! This is Park Hyunho.

The love who came to my life silently, the woman who became my benefactor, Eun Ga-eun, I will get married on April 12th, 2025, in the spring when the flower wind blows!

I dreamed of building a pretty family with Eun Ga-eun, and I found out that Ga-eun had the same dream as me. As we got to know each other, our love, trust, and faith deepened, and we decided to be together for the rest of our lives.

As we prepared for the wedding, we had many issues to discuss, so we have been spending time together often recently. As we tried to tell more of our stories, we weren‘t able to show you in real time, and we caused confusion to our fans in the process.

We will continue to show you our wedding preparation process together with the Groom Class production team. We will show you many pretty images.

Please look forward to seeing me grow into an even cooler groom together with the beautiful spring bride, Ga-eun.

We will love passionately and live diligently. Thank you for your blessings!

Hello. This is the Groom Class production team.

As it is a private and sensitive subject, we proceeded after sufficient discussion with the cast as we went through the wedding preparation process of the two. However, due to the unavoidable difference in the time of the first house date and the filming and broadcast dates, we apologize for the confusion caused to viewers as we were unable to reflect the real time.

We will pay more attention in the future and try to show the couple’s wedding preparation process more honestly.
