South Korean rapper Loco is getting married to his non-showbiz girlfriend.
On Tuesday, the rapper penned a letter posted on his Instagram account to address fans about his upcoming wedding with his girlfriend, with whom he reconnected shortly after he was discharged from the military.
"After being discharged from the military, I met a friend of the same age who grew up in the same neighborhood as me since childhood for the first time in a while. For some reason, the time we spent together was heart-fluttering, and our relationship quickly developed as lovers," he wrote in Hangul and was translated by Soompi.
"And for the past two years, we shared precious and happy times together while respecting each other’s work, and we naturally made a promise for a lifetime," he added.
Loco, whose real name Kwon Hyuk-Woo, also shared that his girlfriend understands his views and candid side "that has always been insecure and lacking confidence off-stage more than anyone else."
"Thanks to her, I am now able to fully feel the happiness of everyday life without the fear of making a choice for myself. As my fans probably know, she’s also the girl of ‘Soy Latte’, which I often mentioned in my lyrics," he continued.
The 32-year-old rapper said they plan to get married by the end of this year.
"Although we are still cautious due to COVID-19, we have decided to hold a quiet ceremony with family and friends this fall," he wrote.
"My work planned for this year is proceeding as scheduled. I think we will continue seeing each other often through various performances and upcoming albums."
He ended his long post by expressing his gratitude, “Thank you always”.
Loco debuted in 2012 under AOMG Entertainment shortly after he won the first season of the rap competition "Show Money."
