The former member of the group BOYS REPUBLIC, KIM MINSOO, officially shared the happy news of his marriage planned for this summer.

The artist recently revealed a wedding invitation featuring a romantic photo of him and his fiancée, Kim Jihyun, posing in front of a floral decor. The ceremony is scheduled for July 5, 2026, at 1:30 p.m. at “VILLA DE GD (SUSEO)”. This personal announcement was warmly received by the fans who have followed him since his debut with BOYS REPUBLIC in 2013 under UNIVERSAL MUSIC.
During his time with BOYS REPUBLIC, KIM MINSOO distinguished himself as a main dancer and rapper, contributing to the group’s success with titles like “Party rock” or “The real one”. After the group announced an indefinite break in 2018, the members took different paths. Although his time on stage left a lasting impression, KIM MINSOO successfully made his transition to a new professional life away from the spotlight of the idol industry.

Today, KIM MINSOO has completely reinvented himself by embracing the profession of barber. Under the name DUGI BARBER, he practices his talents within the establishment “PHILLIP BARBERSHOP” located in the district of Munjeong-dong. His social networks testify to this passion for the art of men’s hairdressing and beard care, where he regularly shares his technical achievements and his daily life within the salon. This authentic conversion shows a man who has managed to find his way in precision craftsmanship, far from the media hustle and bustle of his past career.
We wish the best to KIM MINSOO and his future wife for this new chapter of their life.
