Ji Ye Eun is gaining attention after candidly sharing details about her real-life romance with choreographer Vata—and the story seems like something out of a K-drama.
In a recent episode of Running ManJi Ye Eun surprised viewers by confirming her relationship on air rather than letting rumors spread. She even jokingly apologized to her for a long time “love line” partner Yang Se Chan, adding a lighthearted touch to the reveal.
As the conversation unfolded, he shared how their relationship didn’t immediately become romantic. It took the couple about two and a half months to get to know each other, but even after they officially became a couple, things remained timid and awkward. For almost three weeks they couldn’t even hold hands.
Then there came a moment I felt lifted straight out of a scripted love story. 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 that she once drove her cab back just to spend more time with him. Fellow cast member Ji Suk Jin recalled how he put her in a taxi after rehearsal, unaware of what was happening. Ji Ye Eun joked that she went back because Ji Suk Jin wouldn’t leave first, turning the moment into a funny but telling anecdote about his feelings.
With its slow buildup, timid first steps, and a perfectly timed confession, Ji Ye Eun’s real-life romance is proving to be just as heartwarming as any K-drama plot.
