On the afternoon of the 4th, Lee Hyori posted, 'Hi, this is Hyori,' on her fan café 'Hyori Together', officially announcing her wedding plans with Lee Sang Soon, whom she'd been dating pubicly for three years.

According to a report on the 3rd, she explained that the reason she waited to announce the wedding was because "it is a very private matter and I wasn't ready, so I wanted to personally announce it to everyone when things were confirmed. As always, it's not easy. I wanted to tell people myself when the time was right. I apologize to my fans."

She also added, "I needed some time to think about what to say. Maybe because of the rain outside, my mind has been calming down."

Hyori expressed her regrets, saying, "Yesterday I saw a lot of conjectures in articles through people that supposedly know me. There were reporters visiting my parents and friends, causing a lot of inconvenience."

About the reports that they had printed invitations, she clarified, "We only told each other it would be good to do it in September and hadn't even told our parents. Of course we didn't prepare for a meeting between our parents or invitations or anything."

Hyori expressed her love for her fans and said, "Now that it's out, I want to prepare well and do well. I'm saying I'll do my best at a married life, and to wish me luck. I'll live my life well. For the fans who aren't ready to see me go, let's have a drink of soju. It's a relief my face isn't on the bottle. I love you."
