Last September, Ben confirmed her relationship with Lee Wook, chairman of the W Foundation, who is three years older than her. It is reported that the two met at a gathering of acquaintances and developed into a romantic relationship.

Meanwhile, Ben debuted in 2010 as a member of the group Bebemignon and later transitioned to a solo career, releasing hit songs such as "180 degrees" and "Thank You for Breaking Up." Lee Wook graduated from Hanyang University with a degree in law and is involved in social activities through the W Foundation while running Hoo Creative.

Below is the full official statement from Ben.

Hello, this is singer Ben.

I have thought long and hard about how to share this news, but I wanted to deliver it myself to the fans who have always cherished and loved me, so despite my poor writing skills, I am writing this.

I have found someone who promised to be with me for life despite my shortcomings.

Neither of us is perfect, but we will cover each other's faults and fill in the lacking parts to live beautifully and happily together.

Since this is a delicate time, the wedding will be held on a small scale with only our parents and close relatives.

I sincerely thank the fans who have always trusted and supported me, and I will continue to repay you with good music.

Everyone is going through difficult times, but I hope you all stay healthy and happy. Thank you.

- Sincerely, singer Ben -
