Chansung of K-pop boy group 2PM is set to tie the knot with his girlfriend, next year.
The singer made the announcement to his fans on his Instagram, Wednesday, about their intention to marry as early as next year saying, “We have been seeing each other for a long time and she is the person who I rely on.”
He added that they are expecting a baby.
“While my girlfriend and I were preparing for our wedding, the blessing of a new life came to us faster than we expected. Given that my girlfriend is in the early stages of pregnancy, I am very cautious about delivering this news, but I thought I had to let you know as soon as possible. But I will not disclose more details about her because she is not a celebrity.”
Chansung also revealed that he would soon leave his management company, JYP Entertainment, which has represented him for 15 years.
“My contract with the agency is set to end in January,” he said. “Following an in-depth discussion, I decided not to renew the contract and to pioneer my own path… I will continue to do my best to show a good performance as part of 2PM and as an actor.”
Chansung came to public attention as a 2PM member in 2008 with the EP, “Hottest time of the day.” As part of the group, he has put out a series of hits, such as “Heartbeat” (2009) and “My House” (2015). He began pursuing an acting career with MBC sitcom, “High Kick!” (2006-07).
