Solbi announces marriage to Lee Kyu-han despite past fortune-telling prediction

Singer Solbi and actor Lee Kyu-han are set to hold a private wedding ceremony next April after meeting on the KBS Joy program "Pursuing Old Encounters" last year. The announcement has drawn attention to a past YouTube video where a fortune-telling scholar suggested Solbi does not have much luck with a husband.

Singer and painter Solbi's announcement of her marriage to actor Lee Kyu-han has brought renewed attention to a past fortune-telling reading she received on a broadcast. The interest follows the news that Solbi, who was told by a Myeongrihak (traditional Korean astrology) scholar that she "does not have much luck with a husband," has found a new life partner and promised to marry.

In a 2024 video titled "Saju Palja! I went to find Solbi's essence" posted on Solbi's YouTube channel "Sibang Solbi," she visited a fortune-telling cafe to hear an analysis of her Saju (four pillars of destiny) and physiognomy. Among the various interpretations, the reading regarding her romantic life and marriage drew significant attention.

Regarding her physiognomy, the scholar explained that Solbi possesses "eyes that can see things others cannot see." The reading further suggested she has an intelligent gaze and the energy to grow economic wealth and support those around her, offering a positive assessment of her financial luck and ability to care for others.

However, the atmosphere shifted when discussing her connections with men. The scholar stated, "Regarding men, the gaze is not good," adding, "Her eye for men is not very good." Faced with this unexpected comment, Solbi jokingly responded, "I should drink some soju right away," lightening the mood with her characteristic honest and cheerful reaction. Yet, the subsequent reading on her marriage prospects remained challenging.

Analyzing her personality, the scholar described Solbi as "cranky" and someone who "likes things to be precise," noting that she tends to dislike causing trouble for others or being indebted to them. Regarding marriage, the scholar explained that "it is not easy to marry," stating she must meet a partner she can respect in a stable state, but finding such a connection may not be easy. Solbi appeared surprised when the scholar specifically remarked that she "does not have much luck with a husband."

As Solbi has now announced her marriage to Lee Kyu-han, the past video regarding her marriage luck is gaining fresh interest. Since Saju and physiognomy are not scientifically verified means of predicting the future, the past reading cannot be seen as determining her actual married life. Instead, attention is focused on the fact that the two have chosen each other as life partners.

Solbi and Lee Kyu-han first met through the third season of the KBS Joy variety program "Pursuing Old Encounters" broadcast last year. During the show, Solbi made Lee Kyu-han her final choice, but Lee Kyu-han did not choose Solbi, so they did not become a couple on the program. However, their connection continued after the broadcast; they continued to meet privately, developed into a romantic couple, and eventually promised to marry. The fact that their real-life relationship reached a different conclusion than their choice on the show adds to the interest.

Announcing the marriage news via her personal account, Solbi stated, "I have come to share important and happy news about my life," and "I have met a life partner and will now draw our tomorrow together." The couple is scheduled to hold a private wedding ceremony next April. Solbi, born in 1984, debuted in 2006 with the co-ed group Typhoon and has worked as a singer and entertainer, while also building her own domain in the field of art since her first solo exhibition in 2012. Lee Kyu-han, born in 1980, debuted in the 1996 KBS2 drama "Start" and has continued his acting career through various works.

While she was surprised by the comment that she "does not have much luck with a husband" in the past, Solbi has now expressed her intention to draw a future with Lee Kyu-han. Regardless of the interpretations provided by the fortune-telling, their relationship has entered a new stage of marriage through their initial encounter on a broadcast and their subsequent meetings. The moment has arrived where the reality they will build together is more significant than any past prediction.
