TVXQ's Changmin has confirmed that he will be postponing his upcoming wedding ceremony due to health safety concerns and government protocols for COVID-19.
On August 27, SM Entertainment reported that after the rapid increase in COVID-19 occurrences, Changmin – who initially intended to tie the knot with his non-celebrity girlfriend on September 5 – had opted to reschedule his wedding plans until the situation becomes better and safer for everyone.
The company said, "Because of concerns about COVID-19 transmission, Changmin has decided to postpone his marriage ceremony, which had been previously slated for September 5. After talks with the [his and his fiancée's] relatives, he expects to agree on a new date." (via Soompi)
Changmin joins a group of other personalities who reportedly brought adjustments to their planned upcoming wedding plans because of concerns about COVID-19.
Kang Sora, who initially intended to hold her wedding on August 29, scrapped the celebration in favor of a small family gathering. However, Ryu Deok Hwan announced recently that he and his fiancee would postpone their wedding in October to next year.
