TVXQ's Max Changmin is getting married.

Max Changmin announced the news of his marriage through a handwritten letter on June 12.

Max Changmin said, "As you may have learned through recent articles, I am currently dating someone. We have built a relationship of trust and have been spending time together in a good relationship, and naturally, I have come to the decision that I want to spend the rest of my life with this person. I have decided to have the ceremony in September, around the end of summer."

He added, "I would like to express my gratitude once again to U-Know Yunho, who supported my decision and rejoiced with me, and to the agency officials who have given me sincere advice and counsel."

The following is the content of Max Changmin's handwritten letter.

I wanted to tell you directly, my fans, so I gathered my courage and am writing this letter.

This is not something I say lightly or easily, so I am trembling and nervous as I write each word.

I feel sorry and heavy-hearted knowing that some of you, my fans who have supported me with so much love despite my shortcomings, might be surprised or saddened by my sudden news.

Nevertheless, I thought it was only right to deliver the news to you directly.

It has been about 17 years since my debut as a singer.

In that time, a high school student who was clumsy and foolish in everything has somehow become a man in his mid-30s.

I have lived more than half of my life as a member of TVXQ.

Looking back, there were times when U-Know Yunho and all of you fans were filled with anxiety about the future of TVXQ, but because you fans protected TVXQ and sent us your great love, I have been able to grow this far.

I am truly grateful.

As you may know from recent articles, I am currently dating someone.

We have built a relationship of trust and have been spending time together in a good relationship, and naturally, I have come to the decision that I want to spend the rest of my life with this person. I have decided to have the ceremony in September, around the end of summer.

I would like to express my gratitude once again to U-Know Yunho, who supported my decision and rejoiced with me, and to the agency officials who have given me sincere advice and counsel, through this letter.

I believe that the path I am about to take requires even greater responsibility than the path I have walked so far.

Therefore, I will strive to be an even better head of a household and a better member of TVXQ, by doing my best in my given tasks and moments, and by repaying those who support and encourage me.

The days have become like a hot summer, but it feels like the world is still frozen in many ways these days.

Please take care of your health, and thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading my long letter.
