Sunye revealed her happy relationship status when the girls appeared as guests on Strong Heart. Everyone in the studio had a shock when she finally confessed it, also adding that she already asked permission from JYP and her members. She continued that she met this lucky man while doing a missionary work overseas and has been dating him for months now. She also said that he's a non-celebrity who's a little older than her. Rumors also have it that he's a Canadian-Korean who has never been to Korea.
From the bottom of my heart, I am so happy for Sunye. She deserves to be happy because she has a very loving and beautiful heart. Thumbs up for her bravery. We all know how mean these so called 'fans' can be sometimes. Wish them well!
This is her message on the Wonder Girls' fan cafe right after her announcement:
"I believe a lot of people are confused and curious because of the surprising story I told a while back on ‘Strong Heart‘. First of all, thank you so much to those of you who truly congratulated me for the surprising story. I see that quite a few people are upset too, but it’s because you guys are concerned for me, right? Haha, either way I thank you for that as well.
The reason why I’m leaving this message is because I felt that Wonderfuls would want to hear this from me, personally, since I revealed the story on broadcast first. I went to Haiti for missionary work a few months ago. I always had a desire to participate in missionary work, and I think I was really excited about Haiti being my first destination for missionary work. That’s how I met him at such an unexpected place. He’s the missionary who was living there with the Haiti people while doing long-term missionary work. Surprisingly, the picture that has been floating around on the Internet is one of the pictures taken with my missionary family while wearing matching t-shirts on my last day there haha.
I don’t want to deny it. I didn’t think that my surprising story would gain so much attention as soon as it was revealed to the public, and I didn’t expect the picture to come up so quickly, but you guys are really quick. Anyways, I think there are a lot of people who are congratulating me, so I’m very happy and thankful. As I said before on broadcast, he works in a completely different field compared to mine so I hope that you understand that there is not much more I can reveal at this point. I think I wouldn't be happier and more grateful if more people in the future continue to support and pray for the two of us.”
