Ailee’s Letter to Fans:

Hello, this is Ailee.

To my beloved fans who have supported and loved me for the past 12 years, I have some news I want to personally share with all my heart.

After the news of my relationship earlier this year, I experienced a whirlwind of emotions. Seeing your happiness, surprise, and even concern made me deeply grateful, though I also felt apologetic for not sharing the news with you directly at the time. Thank you for waiting patiently for this moment.

At the age of 22, I came to Korea alone and started my life away from my family. Thanks to the unwavering support and love from all of you, I was able to adapt and live without feeling lonely. The bright and energetic person you’ve helped me become has grown into someone ready to share this love with a partner.

I’ve always been someone who looked after others, often sacrificing for those around me. But now, I’ve found someone who gives me care and support in return—a kind and dependable person whose understanding and consideration made me want to spend the rest of my life with him. After a year of dating, we’ve decided to get married next April.

I know I am far from perfect, but I’m endlessly grateful for the love and support you’ve shown me since my debut. I will continue to strive to grow and work hard, showing you an even more mature and dedicated version of myself. Please support us as we begin this new chapter in our lives, and we promise to live happily.

Thank you for reading this long letter.

—Ailee
