Singer Nami Aeh shared the story of her marriage to composer Kim In-hyo.
On June 29, Nami Aeh and her husband Kim In-hyo appeared on KBS 1TV's 'Morning Yard.' During the broadcast, Nami Aeh expressed her affection for her husband, revealing her experiences as a "new bride" at the age of 62.
The couple tied the knot on September 20 of last year.
Nami Aeh mentioned that it was her first time wearing a wedding dress, admitting she thought she would never have the opportunity to do so.
She reflected, "I only wanted to focus on singing and never thought about marriage," but described her meeting with Kim In-hyo as fateful. She expressed gratitude towards her husband, feeling that heaven had given her a great gift after her struggles.
Kim In-hyo also shared that he had lived alone for a long time. After a previous marriage ended when he was 32, he spent nearly 38 years single, stating, "I felt saved when I got married."
The couple's relationship began through their musical collaboration. They grew closer while preparing a new album in the fall of 2023, with Kim In-hyo contributing to the songwriting and production of Nami Aeh's new tracks.
Kim In-hyo is a composer with a background as a guitarist, known for creating hits such as Nam Jin's 'I'm Scared,' Jo Hang-jo's 'Don't Go,' Choi Jin-hee's 'How Did Love Happen,' Kim Yeon-sook's 'Target,' and Lim Ju-ri's 'Love Without Regret.'
Nami Aeh gained recognition after winning the 2014 Mnet trot audition program 'Trot-X.' After years of being relatively unknown, she captivated audiences with her powerful vocals and deep emotional expression.
