Ailee appeared as a guest on SBS 'Shoe Off, Dolsing for Men' aired on the 12th, alongside Kim Jang-hoon, Yoon Jung-soo, and Kim Ji-yoo, and shared her candid story about the marriage process.

Living Together Started with Family Advice

Ailee surprised the cast by revealing that she got married after living together with her husband Choi Si-hoon. She explained, "When I told my family in the U.S. about my intention to marry, they said, 'Just live together for now.'"

She said, "We lived together and got along well, so we ended up getting married," showing a practical approach to marriage preparation.

Realistic Marriage Preparation Process

When Tak Jae-hoon directly asked, "Did you think, 'If we don't match after living together, we should break up before marriage'?" Ailee honestly replied, "Of course I did."

She revealed a very realistic approach by saying, "If there are issues or mismatches while living together, we can just cancel the booked venue for the ceremony."

Marriage After Verification

After going through such a careful verification process, Ailee, who is currently in her 4th month of marriage, expressed her satisfaction by saying, "I am so happy."

Ailee's confession is seen as a reflection of changing social views on living together before marriage, while also emphasizing the importance of careful marriage preparation.
