"My Girlfriend Was Upset..." Kang Kyun-seong Confesses the Story Behind Breaking His 'Pre-Marital Chastity Pledge' 15 Years Ago

Kang Kyun-seong, a member of the group Noel and known as a devout Christian, candidly revealed that he "could not keep" the 'pre-marital chastity pledge' that once heated up the entertainment industry.

According to reports from the broadcasting industry on the 26th (Korean time), on the 25th, SBS entertainment program 'My Ugly Duckling' featured Super Junior's Kim Hee-chul visiting Kang Kyun-seong's home and having a deep conversation.

◆ The Resolution of 2011 and Reality

On this day’s broadcast, Kang Kyun-seong took out the faded pre-marital chastity pledge he had written in 2011. The pledge contained the resolute phrase, "I will keep my sexual purity until the day I meet the partner prepared for me and marry. Even if there are temptations and difficulties, I will wait only for my spouse."

When Kim Hee-chul asked, "So how long did you keep it?" Kang Kyun-seong opened up with a bittersweet smile. He said, "At the time of writing the pledge, I had a girlfriend I had been dating for quite a while. I said that since we made a pledge, we should endure a bit, but my girlfriend was very upset," and confessed, "So it didn't last long. Eventually, the pre-marital chastity collapsed."

◆ Not a 'Pre-Marital Chastity' Advocate, but a 'Post-Marital Relationship' Advocate

Although he could not keep the first pledge, his beliefs were not completely broken. Kang Kyun-seong shared, "With another person I met afterward, we had similar thoughts, so I managed to keep it for 2 years. There were those I kept it with and those I couldn't keep it with."

He defined himself not simply as a 'pre-marital chastity advocate' but as a 'post-marital relationship advocate.' Kang Kyun-seong emphasized, "My mindset and values have not changed. The meaning and value of sexual relations after marriage are still significant to me," reiterating his firm philosophy on sex.

Meanwhile, Kang Kyun-seong is active as the main vocalist of the group Noel and as a versatile entertainer appearing in various entertainment programs.
