H.O.T's Moon Hee Jun explained why he had to keep his love life a secret.

Lately, Moon Hee Jun and Crayon Pop's Soyul have been gaining tremendous attention for their surprise engagement.

At the press conference for the new JTBC variety show 'Sing for You' on November 29, Moon Hee Jun spoke up about this hot topic and shared the reason he couldn't reveal to be dating. He said, "I'm getting married. A lot of people have asked why I've made a marriage announcement all at once [without any notice]."

He explained, "Like a silent promise to my fans, I've always told myself, 'I'll date secretively.' So the only announcement that I was allowed to make was for marriage. Now I decided to get married and found a friend who I want to be with forever, so I ended up making this announcement. Please cheer us on."

Sounds like Moon Hee Jun is incredibly thoughtful and caring of his fans. How sweet!

His fans have been wanting him to get married. He's not getting any younger. And of course, they want a mini-heejun to continue the blood line. And yes, it's nobody's business. And he definitely doesn't need to get any fans approval. But he's the one who's been telling that thing to his fans. On several occasions these past years. On and off TV. And not on a joking manner but on a serious note. He's the one whose been telling them that they're like his family. He values them. And will respect their decision if that times and other things. The fans didn't ask for this. He's the one who's been shoving these thoughts to his fans minds. And actually telling them on an earlier occasion - not just 2 minutes before the media is more respectful and won't have this strong fan backlash. But this is actually not the main problem why most of the fans are mad. It's not that he's getting married. It's relating to the group and his lady love's behavior which is again another long paragraph.

Probably because fans like the posts here don't approve of his private life. Really, people, it's his life, he doesnt't have to check in with his fans to get their approval. Get over it.

well maybe he didn't say anything because its actually nobody's business..i feel like the only reason why their announcing their marriage is out of respect for fans

This article made it looked like that he did what he did for his fans. And his fans are okay with it. Well, they're not. And it's not what he repeatedly said in the past. It's the opposite of caring. Saying one thing and not making true to it. And no, the fans are okay with him getting married. They wanted that for him. But the way he did things, the timing, the false hopes, and unfulfilled promises - it's so not right!

It's their 20th anniversary.. not just his but the band and he ruined it. Can't he wait until january 1st at least?

You shouldnt wait if have found your happiness. Fans should be more understanding. We should try to put ourselves in his shoe for once

Fans have been putting themselves in his shoes for years. Heck they even shielded him from all the hate when he's like enemy public no. 1. They even crowdfunded his album once when he's down and out. And he can have his happiness. Nobody said he should wait. But the manner he unfolded everything is not ideal. It's 20 years of history. it's hard to explain to newer / international fans. And it's not like the fans who asked him to keep his relationship public - it was him who repeatedly said that he will reveal it to them when the time comes. But it's not really the point. He said so many things in the past that specifically this year. Broken promises and false hopes regarding the group that in the end he'll just ruined.

Though it must have bothered a few fans, it was less hurtful for the fans, I guess. But don't you think most of HOT's fans are already married?

Alternatively: "It was no ones sodding business!"

Did advertisement used to be so out of control on this site? I feel like it's really outta control lately...

Why does anyone have to reveal their dating life to the whole world. People don't have any business in who you date. He made a choice not to tell everyone that he was dating someone. I mean it aint a crime not to do so. Sure everyone is curious but when they find out they end up commenting and saying a whole lotta negative things so in the end keeping a relationship a secret is far better. No drama. No mess.

Some handle the 'public' aspect of K-Celebrity better than other too. With SULLI (other = CHOIZA), she seems ENJOY to TROLL herself the TROLLS that she does attract them. But SULLI's attitude about it (TROLLS) seems not that common. You see *more* where the CELEBRITIES get a bit MIFFED at the TROLLS. Which, NO PROBLEM from me on that. When it gets to the point where SUZY (MISS A) has to make a formal POLICE complaint about some TROLL leaving a DAILY "DIE" message on her SNS site, then you KNOW that there are a LOT of 'CRANK' K-pop 'fans' out there! ... ;-)

MOON HEE JUN is age 38, SOYUL is age 25. Thus, there is somewhat of an age gap between them. So, to have their relationship be public, would be to invite 'negative attitude' from TROLL type K-pop 'fans.' Like those who have plagued say SULLI and CHOIZA in their situation. Clearly, THEY are serious about their relationship, as they are getting married. That aspect pretty much silences the TROLLS on it. Overall, 'staying private' is a pretty good way to handle it. Especially with the increasingly common 'Troll Attitude' towards K-Celebrities in general.

well he did say when he want in the end..its not our business.the point is that soyul didn't say her own company and her group members that she is getting married.... especially her behavior towards the rest members that's the only thing that i find odd from all this thing not the fact that their getting married.

KD_san adamina • Tuesday, November 29, 2016

I think as a maknae she was scared to tell everyone the news. Also the fact that they just made a comeback and this news could hinder that. No wonder she started having anxiety issues with all this important stuff inside her head.

el_genius KD_san • Tuesday, November 29, 2016

scared of her members and company?

el_genius KD_san • Tuesday, November 29, 2016

she could easily tell them in private or inform her company before her statement.why she didn't and let them be humiliate that they don't know about their artist plans?

KD_san el_genius • Tuesday, November 29, 2016

It was a guess on my part because being the youngest and bringing in such a sudden and shocking news can be burdensome for her. Hierarchy plays a huge role in Korean agencies after all. Maybe something personal kept her from telling them.

krell KD_san • Tuesday, November 29, 2016

Well, getting married *might* mean having children. Which means you are MORE LIKELY to quit as a CRAYON POP member too. The situation with SUNYE and WONDER GIRLS does come to mind.

nemomeetsrabbit adamina • Wednesday, November 30, 2016

well, if I remember it correctly, back when SJ sungmin sudden marriage announcement, its exactly the same case too n its defijitely not a shotgun marriage ....the other members also did not know he was gonna get married
