Singer Ailee is among the leading names in the music industry for her fierce and powerful voice.
She appeared on the red carpet event of “KBS Immortal Songs 2022: King of Kings” at Songdo Convensia Convention Center in Incheon on the 5th together with a star lineup, including singers Jung Hong-il, Hwanhee, Monni, Eun-chul Oh, Stephanie, Ailee, Seo Eun-kwang, Kim Ki-tae, Kim Jae-hwan, Forestella, Kim Joon-hyun, and Lee Chan-won attended the event.
Most importantly, Ailee successfully concluded her performance of “2022 Ailee National Tour Concert: One More Step” on the 3rd in Changwon, and is preparing more diverse and spectacular performances for her upcoming concert locations.
The singer currently works with A2G Entertainment (Pop Music), Lovelyz’s Yoon Sang Kei’s agency, after a one-year exclusive contract with THE L1VE founded by Ravi (VIXX).
Despite her massive legacy as a singer, Ailee recently gained attention by going into details about her pre-debut days that may surprise many. Specifically, during her appearance on the TV show “Huh Young-man’s Food Travel,” singer Ailee confessed to having dual citizenship and having received many offers from US agencies.
He elaborated, “I wanted to be a singer when I was young, and I received many offers to become a singer in the United States, but I wanted to do it in Korea.”
The reason for his choice was: “I grew up watching a lot of music programs like “Inkigayo” and “Music Bank” in the United States, so I was very interested in Korean culture,“said the singer. “The videos I posted in the early days on YouTube became a hot topic and I received [offers] from Korean agencies.“
Furthermore, Ailee started her career as an actress and not a singer.
In the past, Ailee played the role of an idol girl group member in the drama “Dream High 2”, but she hasn’t done any other film projects since then because she was more “hungry for music”. But he also said he could act when he feels “greedy” because of this.
When asked if she would like to work as a musical actress, she said: “I can’t do it easily because I’m afraid that acting or performing musicals while doing musical activities will cause harm. I received many castings. But there have been many works that have been disappointing,” he confessed.
In addition to her singing career, Ailee is a YouTuber with 720,000 subscribers and has temporarily suspended her activities on the platform.
Ailee, who will return with a new song, no longer needs to mention her “ex-boyfriend.” That’s because Ailee has announced her upcoming wedding, scheduled for May 2025.
Previously, Ailee revealed her relationship and engagement with Choi Si-hoon, known for his appearance in Netflix’s “Solo Hell,” and received many congratulations.
As Ailee prepares to begin a happy married life by leaving her “ex-boyfriend,” can we look forward to her next song?
