Ji Ye-eun, who began openly dating dancer Bata, is having her past mention of Bata on a variety show reexamined.
In a 'Pinkeugo' video released in June last year, Ji Ye-eun appeared as a guest with Jee Seokjin and recounted the behind-the-scenes story of forming the 'Chungju Ji clan'.
That day Ji Ye-eun explained the situation, saying "That was the release day of Seho oppa's 'I haven't heard it yet.' We gathered like a listening party with close people and were listening when (An) Youngmin oppa said, 'It would be so fun, Jonamjidae. Can't you make us a Chungju Ji clan too?' We tossed it out as a joke, but Youngmin oppa awkwardly accepted it and suddenly sent the song a few days later."
Haha then said, "This is the one who made 'You Are My Destiny.' She made my number one song. Didn't Youngmin write Davichi's 'Love and War'? That's why I featured on it. Because of Youngmin," recounting the unusual connection.
At that moment Yu Jae-seok drew attention by mentioning Bata, asking, "Didn't church friend Bata do the choreography?" Hearing this, Haha was surprised, saying, "Bata did it?"
Then Ji Ye-eun, looking proud, said, "You know Bata, the choreographer of 'Like Jenny,' right?" and Haha showered praise, saying, "Bata is all the rage right now." Ji Ye-eun could not hide a shy smile and showed off her raised cheekbones.
Jee Seokjin expressed his burden, saying, "The work became bigger compared to our level," and Haha asked, "Then how much did you spend?" Ji Ye-eun explained, "It was produced by Seokjin sunbaenim and Youngmin oppa," and Haha teased, "So you took advantage of your hyung? That's a bad kid," prompting laughter.
In addition, Ji Ye-eun recounted on MBC FM4U's Two O'Clock Date An Youngmi that she personally recruited Bata. At the time she said, "Bata is a church friend, so I played the song and suggested, 'How about making a challenge?' and he willingly took on the choreography," she revealed.
Meanwhile, as Ji Ye-eun and Bata acknowledged their relationship, the footage has again attracted public attention. As Bata's name was mentioned and Ji Ye-eun could not hide her smile, netizens have been speculating, saying, "Was love blooming from then?"
Meanwhile, Ji Ye-eun's agency CPN Entertainment said in an official statement on the 13th, "The two colleagues who have been close are meeting with good feelings for each other. We ask that you support them with warm eyes." The two, both born in 1994 and church friends of the same age, grew closer through shared interests and religion and are known to have recently developed into a romantic relationship.
