A New Chapter Begins: Former gugudan’s Soyee Ties the Knot!
Former gugudan member Soyee (real name Jang So Jin) has officially embarked on a beautiful new journey, tying the knot with her beloved, lawyer Yoo Jong Min, on August 16 KST. The heartwarming news was shared by Soyee herself, offering fans a glimpse into her personal happiness and the charming story of her marriage proposal.
An Unforgettable Proposal in Canada
Soyee delighted her followers on social media by recounting the unforgettable moment she was proposed to during a trip to Canada. In a truly relatable twist, the proposal happened when she was least expecting it – sans makeup and in casual wear. “Of all the moments during our trip to Canada, I happened to get proposed to when I hadn’t even washed my face, had no makeup on, and was wearing sweats,” she humorously shared. Her surprise was palpable, noting, “I’m usually pretty quick to notice things, but I was so tired and looked so exhausted that day that I had absolutely no idea a proposal was coming.”
She continued to express the depth of the moment, reflecting, “I always had my own ideas about what kind of proposal I might receive, but to think I got proposed to on a day like that. It became one of those memories I’ll truly never forget for the rest of my life. Thank you, my love. Now let’s really build a good life together.” This candid and personal account resonated deeply with fans, celebrating the authenticity of her love story.
From Engagement to Wedding Day
The journey to marital bliss began earlier in June when Soyee first announced her engagement, expressing her joy at finding someone with whom she wanted to spend the rest of her life. At the time, she beautifully articulated, “I’ve made a promise to spend my life with someone who has made my life even more meaningful. I realized that whenever I’m with him, I’m constantly smiling without even noticing it. I also learned that I can be my most natural and comfortable self when we’re together.” She added, “This August, we will begin a new journey together as husband and wife. Through every moment that awaits us, we will strive to be each other’s strongest support.” In the days leading up to her August 16 ceremony, Soyee built anticipation by sharing stunning wedding photos taken in scenic Vancouver, further involving fans in her joyous preparations.
gugudan Sisters Celebrate Soyee’s Union
Her former gugudan bandmates were quick to join in the celebration. Kang Mi Na commented on Soyee’s exquisite wedding photos, exclaiming, “This is crazy, you’re so beautiful.” Mimi, who holds the distinction of being the first gugudan member to marry, offered a warm and humorous welcome to married life, alongside her heartfelt congratulations. These interactions highlight the enduring bond among the members, even after the group’s disbandment.
Soyee’s Journey: From Idol to Actress and Influencer
Soyee, whose real name is Jang So Jin, made her debut as a vibrant member of gugudan in 2016. Following the group’s disbandment in 2020, she has gracefully transitioned her career, engaging in acting projects and influencer activities, continuously connecting with her fanbase through various platforms. We wish Soyee and Yoo Jong Min a lifetime of happiness!
