K-pop star Min, from the now-disbanded girl group Miss A, is getting married.
The 33-year-old South Korean singer-actress announced the news on April 21 on Instagram, in Korean and English.
Posting several pictures from her pre-wedding photo shoot, she wrote: 'Hey guys, I'm getting married this June! Through ups and downs, I've had someone by my side who always felt like home. We've decided to walk this next chapter of life together.'
The photos showed Min, whose real name is Lee Min-young, in different wedding gowns. One showed her fiance holding her hand and another showed them in an embrace. None of the photos revealed his face.
According to South Korean news outlet Sports Chosun, Min's fiance is an entrepreneur. They have been dating since 2018, after being introduced by a mutual acquaintance.
Min's agencies Monstar Entertainment and K-Tigers Entertainment confirmed the news and said she will be tying the knot on June 7 in a private ceremony held in Seoul.
Min made her debut in 2010 with the girl group Miss A under JYP Entertainment, alongside members Fei, Jia and Suzy. The group were known for songs like Bad Girl Good Girl (2010), I Don't Need A Man (2012) and Hush (2013).
Min left JYP Entertainment in November 2017 after her contract expired, and Miss A disbanded in December that year.
In recent years, Min has released solo numbers like Onion (2021) and Hit Me Up (2022), and put out her debut EP Prime Time in 2024. She has pursued musical theatre and made her Broadway debut in 2022 in the musical Kpop , starring as a member of a K-pop group. – The Straits Times/Asia News Network

Photos: Reuters, AFP American actress Dakota Johnson, 35, and English singer-songwriter Chris Martin, 48, have split, according to American magazine People . They started dating in 2017, making their first public appearance in 2018, and were later reportedly engaged. In August 2024, Johnson refuted break-up rumours, assuring they were 'happily together'. But one source told People : 'It feels final this time.' A few weeks ago, the couple were seen walking together in Malibu, United States where they share a home. They were also pictured together taking a stroll in a park in Mumbai, India, back in January, when Coldplay performed their Music Of The Spheres World Tour at DY Patil Stadium. During their eight-year relationship, Johnson developed strong ties with the British rock band frontman's children – Apple and Moses – from his previous relationship with American actress Gwyneth Paltrow. In a 2024 interview, Johnson had said: 'I love those kids like my life depends on it. With all my heart.'

Elon Musk is not the father of my kids: Ayumi Hamasaki sets the record straight
Ayumi Hamasaki went on social media earlier this week to quash rthe umours that Elon Musk is her baby daddy. Photos: Ayumi Hamasaki/Instagram, AP Japanese pop diva Ayumi Hamasaki would like you to know that Elon Musk is not the father of her two children, thank you very much. This misunderstanding stemmed from a New York Times article in late May, where one of Musk's ex-flames, Ashley St. Clair, said that the American billionaire had fathered the child of "a Japanese pop star". Some netizens believe it's Japanese TV personality Tenka Hashimoto, while others suspect it's 46-year-old Hamasaki. For the record, Musk, 53, has already fathered 14 children with several different women. Hamasaki went on social media earlier this week to quash the rumours. 'I've been keeping an eye on this, and I guess it's time for me to speak up. Elon Musk is not the father of [either of] my kids," the singer said on Instagram on June 2. The J-pop star, who has been married twice, has two children aged six and four. She has remained tight-lipped about their father's identity. Hamasaki is more amused than upset at the rumours. She said: "I mean, I can understand if someone were to think it seems like the sort of thing I'd do. Even my mum laughed when she heard the rumours, saying, 'This seems kind of Ayu-like'." Hamasaki added that she felt the need to set the record straight for the sake of her children. 'Setting aside my personal image, when my kids are old enough to start Googling things I don't want them to run into the rumours and think they're true, so I'm firmly denying them," she said.
