Singer BE'O (real name Seo Dong-hyun, 24), who began his alternative social service a month ago, has announced his marriage to his girlfriend.
Taking to his social media, BE'O shared, "We first met when I was 9 years old and are now getting married at 24. I sincerely thank Wooju, who has always been a huge inspiration to me, and all of you who love those works." He added, "Wondering what I could give in return, I humbly uploaded a new track on YouTube. I will return looking much more mature after faithfully completing my service!"
The post featured the phrase '2011, First met. 2026, Married' along with the credits for his new song 'Vancouver 3'.
Previously on the 14th, BE'O broke the news of his marriage directly to fans in a group chat room.
He wrote, "I wanted to tell you guys first before people found out.... There's one more big issue for the end of this year," adding, "You might already know or it might feel sudden, but I've decided to spend the rest of my life with that special someone from 'Vancouver' and 'Vancouver 2'!!!!!". He continued, "Thanks to you guys, those songs were able to come into the world, and I feel like I've learned a lot through that. I'm always grateful, but thank you once again, and I'll come back as a more matured young man :)"
BE'O has not hidden his relationship status. He has previously spoken on various broadcasts and media outlets about his unrequited crush that lasted for over a decade starting from his elementary school days, and his hit 'Vancouver' series is known to be inspired by his feelings for her.
In 2023, he sparked controversy due to a public display of affection during a performance. While singing an unreleased song at the 'Tone & Music Festival' held in June of that year, BE'O suddenly ran off the stage and returned about 30 seconds later to continue his performance. A backstage video released later showed him kissing and stroking the cheek of a woman, who was identified as his girlfriend.
BE'O has been fulfilling his mandatory alternative service as a social worker since September 10.
