Shortly after news of her marriage to actor On Joo Wan broke on July 4 KST, Girl's Day member and actress Bang Minah addressed her fans with a lengthy letter shared on her official fan cafe.
She wrote,
"Hi! Neighborhood patrol members!! Hahahahaha I thought hard for so long about how I should address this matter. I once imagined, 'I'll let the world known in style when the right time comes..' But that didn't go according to plan, so here I am with a letter instead.
Still, I'm happy that I can relay my thoughts like this! Some time ago, I had the opportunity to sing the congratulatory song for some of my old fans, and it felt like I was taking out my most precious possession from its safe place inside a drawer to look at it again for the first time in a while.
Thinking back on those days, when we were all so young, I thought, 'We were really full of passion in those days' and it made me kind of miss it. You people are my past and my life. It was all because of your love and support and your warmth that I was able to live a life of warmth until now and that I can continue forward.
Because of that, I tried diligently tried my best to approach each of my projects with all my being, so that I could keep your attention to myself. I believed that it was the best way to repay you!! If it weren't for Girl's Day and DAI5Y, I would not be here. I am such a happy person. I wanted to tell you, thank you for helping me realize that life can be full of gratitude.
It's all because of you that I can live on with strength and diligence not only as an artist, but also as a person. And now, I've gained another person who will support me and cheer me on from right by my side!! Hehe. So I will live on while facing new projects I've wanted to try, taking in your love and support with all my heart, all the while protecting my family. Please congratulate me in your hearts. So warmly that I'll get burned by DAI5Ys :)
Sincerely,
Neighborhood patrol president Bang Minah"
