On the 8th, Kim Ji-young uploaded a video to her YouTube channel titled "Autumn spent with loved ones (relationship reveal)" and smiled, saying, "Someone has come into my life to walk in step with me."

Some communities speculate that Kim Ji-young's boyfriend is founder and CEO A, the creator of the country's largest paid reading community.

So far, neither side has issued any official statement. Specific evidence is also lacking, so unverified rumors are heating up online.
