Singer KCM is set to hold an official wedding ceremony with his wife, 14 years after the birth of their first daughter.

On July 6, KCM’s agency, A2Z Entertainment, announced, "KCM will hold his wedding ceremony on October 4 at 5:00 PM at Floating Island in Sevit Island, Seoul."

Ahead of the ceremony, KCM shared his thoughts through his agency, stating, "I am happy to finally keep my promise to my wife after 14 years. I owe this to my wife, who silently endured difficult times, and my three children, who give me the courage to keep going every moment."

He added, "I am preparing this wedding as a way to express my commitment to living for my family for the rest of my life and to show my gratitude to those who are dear to us. I also sincerely thank my fans who have supported me unwaveringly for such a long time."

KCM and his wife, Bang Ye-won, welcomed their first daughter, Su-yeon, in 2012, but were unable to hold a wedding due to personal circumstances, including his military service and business failures. They legally registered their marriage in 2021, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, they opted for a simple vow ceremony instead of a formal wedding.

KCM had previously opened up about the reasons why he could not reveal his family’s existence for a long time. He confessed that he had been burdened with billions of won in debt due to joint surety fraud, and that he had to delay registering his marriage and hide the existence of his daughter out of fear that his family would suffer from debt collection and financial pressure.

The couple welcomed their second daughter, Seo-yeon, in 2022, and their third child, a son named Ha-on, in 2025. Recently, KCM has been receiving support from viewers by sharing his daily life as a father of three on the KBS 2TV program "The Return of Superman."
