Minhwan announced his engagement to Yulhee in a letter to fans posted on his Instagram account.
He wrote that after “confirming my love with my girlfriend under which we relied on and trusted each other, we plan to bear the fruit of our relationship.”
“After making a big life decision of marriage, I am grateful for the congratulations of many people,” he said, adding that other FT Island members have also congratulated him for it.
Following the announcement, Korean media claimed in a report the marriage was publicly made known as Yulhee is pregnant. FNC Entertainment, FT Island’s agency, did not confirm nor deny the report but only said it would check.
Their relationship was revealed last September when Yulhee posted photos of her and Minhwan on Instagram. The photos showed Yulhee and Minhwan in the latter’s apartment.
Yulhee debuted in Laboum in 2014 and after she revealed her relationship with Minhwan last September, she left Laboum last November. At the time, Laboum’s agency, Global H Media, said that Yulhee left the group because she no longer wanted to be in the entertainment industry.
Minhwan debuted in FT Island in 2007.
