#SHOWBIZ: 'I felt frightened': Korean singer's wife opens up about hiding their marriage for years

SEOUL: South Korean singer KCM's wife, Bang Ye Won, has shared the emotional burden of concealing their marriage for years. During her first pregnancy, she endured the experience alone while her husband was serving his mandatory military service. The South Korean media reports that the young and inexperienced Bang had to go through the ordeal in secret, causing her immense distress.

She expressed her fear and sadness during the pregnancy, stating that it was a painful period in their relationship. KCM, whose real name is Kang Chang Mo, admitted to feeling regret over hiding their marriage for such a long time. The 44-year-old balladeer only officially registered their marriage in 2021, nine years after their eldest child was born.

He had previously explained that he delayed the registration to shield his wife from involvement in his personal debt troubles. Despite the hardships they faced, the couple, who celebrated their 14th year together with a wedding reception, revealed that the challenges had only strengthened their bond as they raised their three children. KCM expressed his satisfaction that his wife was now smiling and much more at ease.
