Broadcaster Ji Ye-eun and dancer Vata will hold a special wedding on their birthday, Dec. 12. Actor Lee Hae young's remarks that seemed to predict the two people's marriage are being revisited.
On the 2nd, Ji Ye-eun's agency CP Entertainment told OSEN, "The two promised to share each other's lives based on deep faith. Please give warm congratulations and support for the couple as they embark on a new beginning," announcing the wedding news of Ji Ye-eun and Vata.
The two, who were born in 1994 and are the same age and 'church friends,' are reported to have grown close and developed into lovers based on shared interests and religion. Vata supported Ji Ye-eun by creating the choreography for the new song "Milkshake" when the project group Chungju Ji-ssi, formed by Ji Ye-eun and Jee Seokjin, took the stage at "Waterbomb Seoul 2025" last year. In addition, Vata is known to have stayed by Ji Ye-eun's side and supported her when she was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and halted activities.
Ji Ye-eun and Vata's relationship was first reported on April 4, and the agency quickly acknowledged the romance within an hour, saying, "The two, who have worked together as colleagues, are seeing each other with good feelings. Please support them with warm eyes."
After steadily showing affection, the two announced their marriage in a whirlwind just five months after starting a public relationship. They will hold their wedding on Dec. 12 this year at a location in Seoul and become husband and wife.
The wedding date, Dec. 12, is especially meaningful because it is Vata's birthday. The couple plans to spend a doubly meaningful time that day amid many people's blessings.
Meanwhile, actor Lee Hae young's remark about a wedding gift has also drawn attention amid the couple's wedding news. In a YouTube video released on the 30th of last month, actor Lee Hae young, while discussing Ji Ye-eun's dating story, after mentioning an expensive luxury bag gift, promised a generous wedding gift, saying, "If you honor me by inviting me (to the wedding), I will give you 1,000,000 won."
Lee Hae young also urged, "Don't pick something strange for the wedding dress; ask me." Meanwhile, a remarkable coincidence drew netizens' attention when Ji Ye-eun and Vata announced their marriage only three days after the wedding gift remark was made public.
Some reacted that Lee Hae young might already have known about Ji Ye-eun and Vata's marriage and thus gave the luxury bag gift and promised the wedding money. At the same time, netizens are also interested in whether Lee Hae young will actually keep her promise.
Meanwhile, Ji Ye-eun debuted in 2017 with the web drama "How to" and has been beloved by the public through regular appearances on Coupang Play's "SNL Korea Reboot" series, the "Office Workers" series, Netflix's "Jae-seok's B&B Rules!", and SBS's Running Man. Vata, the leader of the dance crew We Dem Boyz, gained recognition by participating in choreography for famous K-pop artists, including Zico's "Saepping" and Jennie's "like JENNIE." In 2022, he proved his skills by finishing as runner-up on the Mnet survival show "Street Man Fighter."
