Wedding bells are ringing for former U-KISS member Shin Dongho and he plans to tie the knot next month, reports Koreaboo.

Dongho is gaining attention for being one of the youngest idols to marry at 21 years old, having been born in 1994. He will marry a girl a year older than him after dating for a year and a half.

"The bride and groom have been preparing for this for 3 months step by step," the wedding company that is handling Dongho's marriage reportedly said. "Soon we will be releasing their wedding photos with details."

Dongho will marry a girl a year older than him after dating for a year and a half, reports Netizenbuzz.

"I've been dating her for a year and a half. I wanted to marry her fast," the idol said.

In reaction to Dongho's marriage at what online commenters consider to be an unusually young age, some have brought up the possibility that he could have gotten the girl pregnant and that the marriage is a shotgun wedding. But so far this has remained as pure speculation.

"I know I'm young, but I've made the decision after many prayers and discussions," the idol reportedly said to friends, reports Yonhap. 

Dongho left U-KISS in 2013 reportedly due to his wish to stop living the celebrity life and instead focus on his studies.

But even after departing from the group, Dongho was spotted meeting with and being hugged by member Kiseop, which suggests that Dongho continues to remain friends with the rest of the group members that continued on with U-KISS.

U-KISS then added new member Joon in 2014 before launching a comeback album. The boy group recently celebrated their 7th anniversary since debut.
