Solbi chooses Sicily for honeymoon with fiancé Lee Kyu-han

Singer-artist Solbi has selected Sicily, Italy, as her honeymoon destination with fiancé Lee Kyu-han ahead of their wedding next April. The couple, who became the first married pair from the variety show 'Pursuing Old Encounters', discussed the trip during a recent VIVO TV broadcast.

Singer and artist Solbi has specified Sicily, Italy, as the honeymoon destination she will visit with her fiancé, Lee Kyu-han. As the two, who met on the dating variety show 'Pursuing Old Encounters' planned by Song Eun-i and Kim Sook, move toward actual marriage, a previous promise regarding honeymoon support made on the program has resurfaced. Solbi added a humorous touch to the choice by selecting southern Italy, recalling her past claim of being a Roman princess in a previous life.

On the YouTube channel VIVO TV, a video titled "Shocking School Refusal: What Should We Do With a Smartphone-Addicted Son?" was released on the 28th. During the broadcast, Song Eun-i teased special news, stating, "We had a recording for a different topic, but because of a joyous occasion, we are doing an urgent recording as if it were a live broadcast." Kim Sook also reacted, noting, "There was a commotion everywhere to catch this team."

Announcing the marriage news, Song Eun-i stated, "We cannot be left out. They started dating among themselves without the matchmakers even knowing, and they have become the first couple of 'Pursuing Old Encounters' to announce their marriage." The atmosphere was a mix of joy and surprise as the participants from the program they planned became a real-life married couple.

Solbi and Lee Kyu-han met while appearing on the KBS JOY and KBS 2TV variety program 'Pursuing Old Encounters', planned by Song Eun-i and Kim Sook. Although they did not form a final couple at the time, they developed into a real-life couple and are scheduled to hold their wedding next April. As the connection made on the show led to a real marriage, the two hold the special record of being the program's first married couple.

During the broadcast, congratulations were delivered via a phone call with Solbi. Solbi expressed her gratitude, saying, "Thanks to you two, we have met this joyous occasion." When Kim Sook asked, "Can we sit in the wedding party seats? We are the family seats, right?" Solbi responded, "Wear your hanbok. I'll tell them." The conversation between the matchmakers and the participant drew laughter, suggesting their special bond will continue at the wedding.

The topic naturally shifted to the honeymoon. Solbi reminded them of the past promise, saying, "When we first recorded for 'Pursuing Old Encounters', it was said that if we got married here, the honeymoon would be provided. It was clearly said. It was on the broadcast." She further teased Song Eun-i and Kim Sook by revealing she told her fiancé, "Don't worry about our honeymoon. We have Eun-i unnie." This left the two, who were celebrating the news, facing the unexpected prospect of bearing the travel expenses.

When asked by Kim Sook about her desired destination, Solbi did not hesitate, stating, "Wasn't I a Roman princess? I want southern Italy, Sicily. I'll travel through southern Italy and then to Greece," revealing a specific plan. Her ambitious idea to tour southern Italy and then Greece drew laughter in the studio as she confidently presented her destination while remembering the honeymoon support promise.

Solbi's mention of Italy ties back to a unique anecdote she previously shared. On MBC 'Radio Star', she revealed that a shaman told her she was a Roman princess in a past life. She later shared a mysterious experience of easily finding her way around Rome without the help of maps or signs during a visit. Having earned the nickname "Roman Princess" from this story, Solbi even registered the nickname as a trademark. This choice of honeymoon destination drew attention by recalling that nickname.

Solbi had previously expressed anticipation for her marriage by posting several photos of herself in a wedding dress on social media. At the time, she responded wittily to a comment saying, "I thought you were really getting married," with "Is that so?" and a smiling emoji. Now, with her actual marriage to Lee Kyu-han approaching and specific honeymoon plans mentioned, her past playful wedding comments are becoming reality.

As the honeymoon promise made jokingly on 'Pursuing Old Encounters' resurfaces due to the actual marriage, interest is growing in whether Song Eun-i and Kim Sook will keep their word. Whether Solbi's desired trip to Sicily, southern Italy, and Greece will become a reality, and whether the two who produced the first married couple of 'Pursuing Old Encounters' will complete their final mission of honeymoon support, remains to be seen.
