Ryeowook took to Instagram to personally announce his marriage plans on Friday (29/3/2024). Here’s what he shared:
“To my beloved fans, ELF,
Greetings, this is Super Junior’s Ryeowook.
I am here to share some news directly with my dearest friends, the ELFs, who have always supported and showered me with their love. I hope this letter conveys my heartfelt sincerity.
I first encountered ELF back in November 6, 2005, when I was just 19 years old. Now, after 20 years in the industry, I am 38 years old.
Throughout these years, ELF has stood by me unwaveringly. Our bond has grown stronger through both joyous and challenging times.
That’s why I wanted to share this news with you, though I must admit, I feel a bit nervous.
As you may know, I’ve been in a relationship with someone special. After much contemplation and discussions with my company and fellow members, I have decided to take the next step and tie the knot this spring, specifically at the end of May.
I am eternally grateful to ELF for your enduring support despite my flaws and imperfections. Yet, I can’t help but feel a pang of guilt, fearing that this news might catch you by surprise.
I promise to continue working diligently as Super Junior’s Ryeowook and as a singer, for all those who have cheered me on, yearning to hear my voice and witness our performances together.
I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the members and staff of SM Entertainment for their unwavering support.
ELF! The weather is turning chilly, so please take care to bundle up and stay healthy. Thank you, and I love you.”
