Shinji and husband Moonwon discuss music boundaries in couples counseling
Koyote singer Shinji and her husband Moonwon attended couples counseling and spoke about tensions in their relationship.

He said he wants to help when she is stressed, sometimes by offering solutions or writing music.
Shinji said she wants him to stay out of her music work, including Koyote and her solo projects.

저는 밖에서 에너지를 100% 쓰고 집에서 아무것도 안 하는 걸 좋아한다
그냥 ‘힘들었겠다’ 하고 들어주길 바라는 거지, ‘근데 왜 그렇게 해야 해?’라며 해결책을 덧붙이면 스트레스가 된다
아내가 솔로곡이 필요하다고 하면 직접 곡을 써서 ‘이런 스타일 어때?’ 하고 바로 해결해 주고 싶다
