Singer Song Ha-ye (32) shared her warm holiday plans and wishes for spending the Chuseok holiday with her family.

Recently, Song Ha-ye conducted a Hanbok interview at StarNews headquarters in Seorin-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, to mark Chuseok. On this occasion, she revealed her first holiday plans after announcing her marriage to YouTuber Jo Mae-ryeok (real name: Jo Jang-woo, 32).

Song Ha-ye stated, "On Chuseok, the entire family gathers. Since I am now starting my own family, we plan to meet and greet everyone together. It's truly the first time in my life." She added, "My fiancé tends to be shy around unfamiliar people, so both of us are nervous about meeting his large extended family," expressing her anxiety about accompanying him during the visit.

Song Ha-ye also spoke about traditional holiday scenes at home. She said, "Usually, we go to my older sister's house, which is a very large family gathering. The warm atmosphere always brings me healing." She mentioned that she and her family prepare holiday meals together. "Galbi (grilled short ribs) is essential, so we buy huge portions from large supermarkets," she explained. "We also make jeon (pancakes), such as shrimp jeon, which require a lot of hands-on effort. Together with my grandmother, we make sikhye (sweet rice drink) and songpyeon (rice cakes), strengthening our family bonds."

When asked about her wishes while gazing at the full moon of Chuseok, she mentioned her goals as a singer. Song Ha-ye said, "I hope my music releases next year will be successful. I want to create cleverly composed songs that are easy for people to sing along to." She added, "In the past, I received too much feedback saying 'I can't sing your songs,' so this time, I'd like to present more popular tracks."

Song Ha-ye also shared warm wishes. She said, "I firmly believe there is no treasure more precious than family. Even if things feel awkward at first, spending time together through activities like board games would be wonderful." She continued, "I hope everyone enjoys Chuseok movies and spends the holiday warmly with their families. I wish everyone gets married soon."

Meanwhile, Song Ha-ye plans to marry Jo Mae-ryeok before the end of this year. Last month, she announced on her social media, "I met someone who cherishes me as I am and stands by my side in every moment, and we will get married this year."

Jo Mae-ryeok is a YouTuber with 1.03 million subscribers. He also leads the 18th-member big band project Annoying Box. Song Ha-ye gained recognition through audition programs such as SBS 'K-Pop Star Season 2' and JTBC 'Made in You,' debuting in 2014 with her first single "It's My First Time." She later established herself as a ballad singer through hits like "Your News" and "New Love."
