On June 13, Choi Han-bit brought some good news to the public; she revealed that she is marrying her boyfriend.

Then, she told a little bit about him, "My husband-to-be is seven years older than I am. He doesn't work in the same industry as myself; he's a businessman. He's manly, a quiet person who doesn't speak much. We've been together for about a year now.", then laughingly added, "His gentle and romantic moves made me fall for him."

She continued, "There was no specific moment when I felt like he had to be the one I marry, but my gut told me that I was going to marry him as our relationship went on. I'd never felt that way about anyone before."

The couple are holding their wedding ceremony in Gangneung, Gangwon-do on June 18, where they met.  

Choi Han-bit reminisced the day when she met her boyfriend for the first time, "Gangneung is my hometown. It's also my boyfriend's hometown. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I was on a break from work for a bit last year. During my hiatus, I went back to my family home, and spent some time there. I had never thought I would meet the love of my life then. I went to a gathering, where some of my friends and their friends had gathered together. That's where I met him."  

Shyly, she added, "I'm a little embarrassed to be announcing my marriage all of a sudden, but I'll live happily ever after. Please send us your love and blessings. Thank you."
