Cassies, rejoice! On June 12, Friday, TVXQ's Changmin announced he is getting married to his non-showbiz girlfriend in September!
The 32-year-old singer announced the news himself via a handwritten letter on Lysn.
The letter reads:
"Hello, this is Changmin of TVXQ.
This is something I wanted to tell the fans personally. I had to pluck up the courage to say this, though it is not easy for me to say, and I am still nervous. I feel sorry because I am sure some of you will be disappointed by this news. However, I thought it was right for me to tell you guys the news myself and not through other people's words.
It's been seventeen years since I debuted as a singer. Back then, I was a high school student who was clumsy in my actions, and now I am in my mid-30s. I've lived almost half of my life as a member of TVXQ.
Looking back, Yunho hyung and I have gone through a lot. There was a time when fans were worried about TVXQ's future, but thanks to your support and love, we were able to grow. Thank you so much.
As many of you know, it was announced last year that I am dating someone. We have a good relationship built on faith and trust, and I have decided that I want to spend the rest of my life with this person. We have decided to hold the ceremony in September when the summer heat is over. I would like to thank Yunho hyung for supporting me and celebrating my decision, as well as the agency staff for their sincere words and advice.
I think the path I'm taking is the road with the biggest responsibilities so far. Therefore, I feel that more people are cheering me on and encouraging me. I will do my best to be the head of the household as well as the Changmin of TVXQ, who will repay all the support and encouragement that has been given to me.
It's already hot since it's summer, but it seems that the world is frozen. Please take care of your health in both body and mind, and thank you for reading this long letter."
Changmin was introduced to his now-fiancée through a friend. The two later developed romantic feelings, and are now happily engaged.
The letter did not reveal the exact date of the ceremony, though, according to Chosun Sports, they will tie the knot on September 5.
Changmin debuted with TVXQ in 2003 and made waves with songs such as "Hug," "Mirotic," and "Rising Sun." In April, he released his first solo album and proved his power as a solo singer.
