Singer Ailee's husband, Choi Si-hoon, bid farewell to his pet dog.
On the 14th, Choi posted on social media, "Our beloved daughter, whom we will remember forever. Mom's new song has come out, and as I listen, I keep thinking of our Somi. Although the time we spent together was not long, Dad loved Somi more than anyone."
Along with this, he shared a video he had edited himself. The footage showed the funeral for 'Somi,' the pet dog that Ailee had raised for many years.
Choi used lyrics from Ailee's new song, "I Know We Will Meet Again Someday," as subtitles while producing a self-made music video featuring photos of happy moments between Ailee and her pet dog.
On the 3rd, Ailee posted on her social media, "My true first love, our Somi," writing, "In 2012, when I was starting my music career in a lonely foreign land, meeting our Somi filled my empty heart with happiness."

He continued, "Then in 2015, I learned that Somi was very sick. Hearing that even if she lived long, she would only be 6 or 8 years old, it felt like the sky was falling. During that time, I wanted to gift Somi only the best moments and memories. We spent day after day undergoing lifelong treatment, living with the anxiety of not knowing when she might leave."
Ailee's pet dog's condition worsened in 2024, and two years later, she ultimately passed away. Ailee said, "You worked hard for 14 years, Somi. From now on, in a place where you are no longer in pain, will you smile brightly and wait for me without loneliness by the side of our mom, grandmother, and grandfather?" She added, "Let's definitely meet again someday."
She also shared, "Instead of saying goodbye, I think of it as 'sleep well,' so I won't be too sad. Our first child born from my heart, Somi, Mom loves you very much," adding, "If you miss Mom and Dad too much, please be reborn as Mom's daughter."
Meanwhile, Choi Si-hoon and Ailee completed their marriage registration in August 2024 and held their wedding ceremony in April of last year.
Recently, Ailee announced a new beginning with 'Ailee Band,' a mixed-gender band she planned and produced herself after 14 years since her debut. Ailee Band released its first single, 'Feelings,' on the 13th. The band will open its solo concert, 'I AM : WE ARE,' at the Dongyang Life Hall in Seoul Nolt Theater Hagjeong on November 21. The tour is scheduled to take place in a total of four cities, including Seoul, Busan, Daegu, and Daejeon.
