KCM to hold wedding ceremony with wife after 14 years

Singer KCM is finally holding a formal wedding ceremony with his wife, with whom he has shared life's ups and downs for 14 years. Although they are already a legal couple with three children, the ceremony had been postponed multiple times due to military service, economic difficulties, and the COVID-19 pandemic. They are finally fulfilling a long-held promise this autumn.

His agency, A2Z Entertainment, announced that KCM will hold his wedding ceremony on October 4 at 5:00 PM at the Sebitseom Floating Island in Seocho-gu, Seoul. The wedding is expected to take place in the presence of family, close acquaintances, and fellow celebrities. It is reported that KCM hopes for entertainer Yoo Jae-suk to serve as the host and his close friend Kim Jong Kook to perform the congratulatory song.

KCM expressed his feelings through his agency, stating, "I am more happy than anything else to be able to keep my promise to my wife after 14 years. I want to express my deepest gratitude to my wife, who silently endured difficult times, and to my three children, who always gave me the courage to stand up again."

He added, "This wedding is not just a simple event, but a place to once again engrave the determination to live the rest of my life for my family. It also carries the meaning of expressing gratitude to the precious people who have supported me until now. I also sincerely thank the fans who have consistently supported me for a long time."

The connection between KCM and his wife, Bang Ye-won, spans well over 10 years. The couple welcomed their first daughter, Suyeon, in 2012, but they were unable to arrange a wedding at the time due to KCM's military service and economic hardships, including business failures. Choosing to prioritize their family responsibilities, the two have walked together for a long time, valuing mutual trust over a grand ceremony.

Even after that, the wedding was postponed several times. KCM became a legal couple by completing marriage registration late in 2021, but it was difficult to hold a large-scale ceremony due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic. Ultimately, they held a small vow ceremony attended only by family, and it is known that they promised to hold a formal wedding once the situation stabilized.

The couple's family has grown since then. Their second daughter, Seo-yeon, was born in 2022, and they became a family of five after welcoming their third son, Ha-on, this year. In particular, last year, the story of KCM's family drew attention once again as the existence of his first daughter, which had not been disclosed before, was revealed. At that time, he explained the background of why he could not disclose his family due to various realistic circumstances, and many members of the public sent messages of support for his dedication to protecting his family.

This wedding holds even more meaning as a symbolic event that officially completes the family history that has continued for 14 years. As the couple, who have endured realistic difficulties together, declare a new start with their three children, the event is expected to be a moving moment.

KCM has also been steadily revealing his daily life as a father through recent broadcast activities. Since appearing on the KBS2 variety program 'The Return of Superman' this year, he has been showing his image as a devoted father taking care of his three children, gaining empathy from viewers by sincerely capturing his life centered on parenting and family.

Furthermore, he continues to communicate with fans by operating his personal YouTube channel 'Keganey,' sharing daily family life, parenting stories, and small moments of happiness that could not be fully revealed on television.

KCM's wife, Bang Ye-won, has also garnered much interest. It is known that she previously held dual citizenship of Korea and Japan, but chose Korean citizenship and naturalized after forming a family with KCM. As expected from her history of working as a model in Japan, she possesses outstanding beauty, which drew great attention when she was first revealed. Although she is a non-celebrity who does not appear on broadcasts, she has been KCM's reliable partner for a long time.

This wedding, prepared after a long wait, holds a special meaning as the fruit of keeping a promise to his family rather than a flashy event. The couple, who have endured numerous twists and turns together, stand at a new starting line as they walk down the wedding aisle after 14 years.
