Ji Ye Eun is drawing attention after candidly sharing details about her real-life romance with choreographer Vata—and the story feels straight out of a K-drama.
On a recent episode of Running Man, Ji Ye Eun surprised viewers by confirming her relationship on air rather than letting rumors spread. She even playfully apologized to her longtime “love line” partner Yang Se Chan, adding a lighthearted touch to the reveal.
As the conversation unfolded, she shared how their relationship didn’t immediately turn romantic. The pair spent about two and a half months getting to know each other, but even after officially becoming a couple, things remained shy and awkward. For nearly three weeks, they couldn’t bring themselves to even hold hands.
Then came a moment that felt lifted straight from a scripted romance. Vata finally broke the tension by gently asking, “Can I hold your hand?”—a simple question that marked their first real step as a couple, according to Ji Ye Eun.
She also revealed another sweet memory, admitting she once had her taxi turn back just to spend more time with him. Fellow cast member Ji Suk Jin recalled how he had put her in a cab after practice, unaware of what was going on. Ji Ye Eun joked that she circled back because Ji Suk Jin wouldn’t leave first, turning the moment into a funny yet telling anecdote about her feelings.
When asked about the pet name they use for each other, Ji Ye Eun shyly answered, “Honey.”
With its slow-burn buildup, shy first steps, and a perfectly timed confession, Ji Ye Eun’s real-life romance is proving to be just as heart-fluttering as any K-drama storyline.
