Jeon Ji-yoon, 36, a former member of the K-pop group 4Minute who has since become a web-novel writer, will marry Nov. 22.

Jeon announced the news on Instagram. "I'm getting married in November," Jeon wrote, adding, "It feels a little embarrassing — and exciting — to finally say the word 'marriage' out loud in my own life."

The partner is a non-celebrity Jeon has been in a relationship with for some time.

"My partner has a warmer and more wonderful heart than I do," Jeon wrote. "Going forward, I want to keep writing hard as an author and become someone who knows how to give love."

Fellow 4Minute members Heo Ga-yoon and Nam Ji-hyun were among those who left congratulatory comments on the post.

Jeon is the second 4Minute member to marry, following HyunA, who wed singer Yong Jun-hyung in October 2024.

Jeon debuted with 4Minute in 2009 and won fans with hits including "Hot Issue" and "Mirror Mirror." After the group disbanded in 2016, Jeon pursued a solo music career before transitioning to web-novel writing in recent years.
