Actor Ji Ye-eun revealed the reason she decided to marry her fiancé Vata. She especially showed affection for Vata, who stood firmly by her side during a difficult time when she had thyroid cancer.
On the 13th episode of SBS variety show 'Running Man', members poured out congratulations for Ji Ye-eun, who recently announced her marriage.
That day Ji Ye-eun also, for the first time, opened up about the behind-the-scenes of the proposal she received from her fiancé Vata.
Ji Ye-eun recalled that she was extremely exhausted and struggling due to her filming schedule at the time. When she contacted him saying she would probably come home late, Vata kept asking where she was, and when she later opened the door, an unexpected scene unfolded. Ji Ye-eun recalled in a nasal voice, "I opened the door and went in, and there were balloons and a path of candles." The event was so thoroughly prepared that at first she thought a company had been hired, which made people laugh.
There was also a letter and a ring that Vata had prepared himself. Ji Ye-eun hinted, "a ring that women want," and honestly said, "I usually don't crave rings, but the moment I saw the mint-colored box I had my first flutter." She added that after receiving the ring she ended up shedding tears, recounting the happy proposal moment.
Above all, the reason Ji Ye-eun decided to spend her life with Vata lay not in the flashy proposal but in the warm side he showed in daily life. Ji Ye-eun said, "He is such a warm person," and added, "I saw him when we fought, and he spoke nicely even when we argued." In response, Haha deeply agreed, saying, "how you act when you fight is really important." Ji Ye-eun also confessed, "I think the person who stayed firmly by my side when I was sick is the best." Haha likewise said, "that was probably decisive."
Earlier, Ji Ye-eun had halted activities and undergone surgery for thyroid cancer. Footage showing Vata standing by Ji Ye-eun, who was wearing a patient gown at the time, was also revealed and drew attention. In the difficult battle with illness, her fiancé became a reliable support.
But the warm atmosphere lasted only briefly when Kim Jong Kook brought up his parents and said, "my father hid his personality for three years. His strong personality came out after three years," prompting laughter. When Kim Jong Kook suddenly brought up stories of someone's "true colors(?)" to Ji Ye-eun, who is about to marry, Yu Jae-seok, bewildered, restrained Kim Jong Kook, causing the set to roar with laughter.
Meanwhile, Ji Ye-eun and Vata, both born in 1994, are known to have been friends at the same church before developing into lovers. The two acknowledged their relationship on Apr. and continued a public romance before recently announcing their marriage.
