South Korean singer KCM (real name Kang Chang-mo) recently revealed that he had hidden his marriage and the existence of his two daughters from the public for 13 years, a secret he finally disclosed in 2025[2]. KCM married a non-celebrity woman nine years his junior, and they welcomed their first daughter in 2012, followed by a second in 2022[2]. The couple did not hold a traditional wedding at first, due to KCM's significant financial debts; he feared that publicly acknowledging his marriage might legally bind his family to those debts[2]. KCM explained that the stress of keeping this private life secret took a heavy emotional toll, describing years of "solitude" and silent suffering[2]. He only felt secure enough to officially register his marriage and reveal his family after fully paying off his debts in 2022[2]. KCM shared intimate photos and reflections on social media, emphasizing how much joy fatherhood brings him, even after years of secrecy[2]. He also admitted feeling "cowardly" for not being able to be open about his family and worried about public backlash once the truth came out[2]. The courage to finally go public was partly inspired by his eldest daughter, who encouraged him before the announcement[2].
