Sunye is the first active idol to get married. However, the press conference she held before her wedding was her last as a member of the Wonder Girls. She has now taken a leave from the group to focus on being a newlywed.

Park Jin Young and members of her agency JYP Entertainment were in attendance and a Jin Young and Wonder Girls’ Yenny even performed songs for the happy couple. In addition to the JYP Nation, fellow idols Girls’ Generation,  Younha, Bada, Noel, Ahn Hye Won and Park Kyung Lim were also at the ceremony to support and congratulate the newlyweds.

Sunye and James will spend their first days as husband and wife on their honeymoon in the Maldives. They will return to his home in Canada to begin their new life together.

Sunye was quoted in the press conference and on Twitter sharing all the happy details about their bright future together. The following is an excerpt of what she expressed at the press conference:

“Personally, I feel marriage is a turning point in life and a new start. Since I was little girl, I enjoyed being on the stage and singing so I have pursued my dream until now. As time passed, I wondered about what direction my life would take next. Naturally, marriage came about and I think it is a new start and a turning point… I would like to have a son and a daughter. James really loves kids. Since I was a little girl, I always dreamed about having a happy family, so with that in mind, I believe James will be a good father too.”
