South Korean actress Ji Ye-eun (지예은) is preparing to marry dancer VATA (바타) this December. During a recent appearance on the variety show 'Running Man,' she offered a rare glimpse into her fiancé's lesser-known side, revealing that he is not only warm-hearted but also a highly educated man with an engineering background, surprising everyone on set.
The latest episode of SBS's 'Running Man,' aired on the 13th, featured a special celebration party for Ji, who is getting married in December. Discussing her decision to marry VATA, she praised her fiancé, saying, "He is a very warm person. Even when we argue, he says nice things. When I was sick, he gave me a lot of strength."
Ji continued, "I believe the best kind of person is someone who can always be by your side and make you feel secure when you're sick and need companionship the most." Her words conveyed deep affection and reliance on her fiancé.
Beyond his warm personality, VATA's academic background also makes Ji proud. She playfully revealed, "He's also very good at academics; he graduated from Hongik University's College of Engineering." This unexpected disclosure that her fiancé graduated from a prestigious Korean university's engineering program greatly surprised the cast.
Upon hearing this, 'Running Man' members, including Yang Se-chan (양세찬), showed astonished expressions. Yoo Jae-suk (유재석) jokingly asked Ji, "So you do consider academic background?" Haha (하하) added, "VATA just reads books all day." The set erupted in laughter. However, Ji immediately retorted, "I don't get along with him when it comes to that kind of knowledge," unexpectedly revealing a potential significant gap in their intellectual interests, which further amused everyone.
Ji and VATA, both born in 1994, initially met through their work in the entertainment industry. Their shared faith later brought them closer. They officially confirmed their relationship in April of this year and have been open about it since.
After a period of public dating, the couple confirmed they would hold their wedding on December 12 this year. Ji's agency, CP Entertainment, announced on the 2nd of this month, "Based on deep trust, the two have promised to spend their lives together."
VATA's agency, Aira, also stated, "The two have found a precious connection and are about to embark on a new journey as husband and wife," adding that they "have promised to be each other's most reliable partners, based on deep trust and love."
This couple, both the same age, is officially set to become husband and wife, and their sweet interactions continue to garner public attention.
