On February 19, YouTube channel “연예 뒤통령이진호” uploaded a video discussing Choi Jun Hee’s wedding news while raising concerns about her fiancé. According to the report, Mr. Kim has reportedly stayed by Choi Jun Hee’s side for five years, supporting her during difficult times marked by health struggles and intense public scrutiny. However, the timeline of their five-year relationship has sparked speculation over whether it began when Choi Jun Hee was still a minor in high school.
The channel further alleged that Mr. Kim was at the center of Choi Jun Hee’s severe conflict with her paternal grandmother, Jung Ok Sook. In July 2023, Choi Jun Hee reported her grandmother to police on charges of trespassing. It was claimed that a man present at the scene urged Jung Ok Sook to leave, reportedly saying she had no rights to the house. The individual is now speculated to be her current fiancé.
Additional concerns stem from a past motorcycle accident during Choi Jun Hee’s high school years. According to a previous interview given by Jung Ok Sook, Choi Jun Hee suffered an ankle fracture while riding a motorcycle, and the man riding with her at the time is suspected to have been Mr. Kim. Jung Ok Sook revealed that she paid approximately 7 million KRW in hospital expenses for both her granddaughter and the man, covering the cost through a 10-month installment plan. The revelation has reignited public debate over his role in Choi Jun Hee’s life.
Meanwhile, reports indicate that Jung Ok Sook learned about her granddaughter’s marriage not directly from her but through YouTube news coverage, adding to the sense of estrangement between them. During the recent Lunar New Year holiday, Choi Jun Hee reportedly visited and expressed gratitude to another elderly family acquaintance who previously helped with household matters, rather than her grandmother, further confirming their continued distance.
In addition to the controversy over her fiancé, Choi Jun Hee also addressed criticism surrounding her wedding photos taken in Japan. Some online users pointed out that the location appeared to be a site associated with the mizuko kuyo ritual, a memorial ceremony for aborted fetuses. She firmly responded that the venue had been selected by the photographer and denied any intentional meaning behind the location.
Despite the growing speculation, Lee Jin Ho stated in his broadcast, “Marriage is a major life decision made by Choi Jun Hee herself. I believe she deserves congratulations and support. I hope she finds happiness.”
As discussions continue online, attention remains focused on whether further clarification will be provided regarding the allegations surrounding her fiancé’s past.
