Member of Apink, Yoon Bomi, shares news of her marriage to producer Rado through a heartfelt letter to fans

Posted on

On December 18, industry representatives reported that Yoon Bomi and Rado are set to get married in May of next year.

Following the reports, Yoon Bomi confirmed the news with the following letter to fans:

Hello, this is Apink’s Yoon Bomi.

I’m very cautious about how to start this letter even as I’m writing it now. I feel incredibly sorry that my news was suddenly conveyed to fans through articles first.

I’m sorry and worried that my fans, who have always loved and supported someone as lacking as me and who must have been happy and full of anticipation for our first album in three years, might be surprised or even feel a bit upset.

However, I thought it would be right for me to personally convey my feelings to my precious PANDA, so I’m trying to bravely write each and every word like this.

I never take for granted the hearts of PANDA who have been with me through every moment, whether happy or sad, with unwavering devotion for 15 long years, and every single moment through which you helped create who I am on stage. I know very well that I am who I am today because of PANDA, and I have always performed my activities with a grateful heart. I want to take this opportunity to sincerely thank you once again.

Thanks to my reliable and dependable PANDA, I was able to endure even when things were tough or uncertain, and thanks to PANDA’s affection and support, I was able to grow even more. Thank you so much.

Having passed through my teens and twenties, I’ve now become 33-year-old Yoon Bomi, and I’ve decided to spend the rest of my life with someone who has been by my side for a long time while sharing our everyday lives and being together through both happy times and difficult moments. I didn’t know I would be delivering this news like this, but I really wanted to convey my feelings to PANDA, who are like my long-time friends, first.

Just as I have always done, I will continue to live steadfastly in my position without losing my sense of responsibility. And in the future, as Apink and as Yoon Bomi, I will repay PANDA with even better activities.

Thank you. I am always grateful and truly, deeply thankful.
