Eight months into marriage, singer Ailee is breaking her silence — revealing honest behind-the-scenes stories for the first time, addressing the viral 'unemployed' controversy around her husband, and teasing a tense first meeting that's already stirring buzz.
Airing December 22 on SBS's variety show Same Bed, Different Dreams 2 - You Are My Destiny, Ailee opens up about life before and after tying the knot. She also unveils, for the first time, the 'on-the-edge first encounter' between her long-time best friend, Koyote's Shin Ji, and her husband Choi Si-hoon — sending the studio into shock.
"Shin Ji unnie treats me like her own daughter," Ailee said, expressing deep trust. But before the wedding, at a meeting arranged like a formal family introduction, things took an unexpected turn. With the 'tough unnie' image, Shin Ji fired off sharp questions, turning it into what felt like a pressure-cooker interview. Enduring the heat, Ailee's husband later joked, "I thought I might get hit if I said the wrong thing," drawing laughs. Viewers are curious to hear exactly what went down between the two.
Ailee also directly addressed the 'unemployed' rumors surrounding her husband. "It really hurt to hear people say he married me for my money," she confessed. She then clarified that Choi Si-hoon is currently the CEO leading a company, adding, "He's a responsible person who protected me, even through the most extreme moments, sometimes in tears." Her heartfelt confession reportedly brought a hush over the set.
