Singer and painter Solbi, whose real name is Kwon Ji-an, has broken her silence on her upcoming marriage to actor Lee Kyu-han, asking fans to "send lots of support."

Solbi posted on her Instagram account Thursday, writing that she had "important and happy news to share" with her followers. "I have found a life partner, and together we will paint our tomorrows," she said.

"We will cherish and be grateful for every moment we create together, and complete the masterpiece of a life called 'us,'" she added.

She also shared photos of the couple standing side by side gazing at each other, and walking hand in hand.

The post drew a flood of comments, including "You two are a perfect match," "Congratulations," and "Be happy."

Lee also posted the same photos on his Instagram account, writing, "Ji-an, who has come into my life."

The two began dating after appearing together on the KBS 2TV romance variety show "Oraedoen Mannam Chugu" last year, a relationship that has now led to marriage.

During filming, Lee said he was delighted to reconnect, noting that he and Solbi had appeared on a variety show together in the past. Solbi responded, saying, "You were cool back then, but you've gotten so much sharper now."

Solbi made her debut in 2006 as a member of the mixed-gender group Typhoon. She built a strong presence on TV variety programs with her sharp wit and offbeat charm, and has been active as a painter since her first solo exhibition in 2012. Last year, she also stepped into drama writing, penning the script for the short-form series "Jeon Namchineun Topseuta."

Lee made his acting debut in 1996 on the KBS 2TV youth drama series "Start" and won a devoted following for his performances in "My Name Is Kim Sam-soon" (2005) and "Rich Man's Son" (2018).
