Actress Ji Ye-eun (32) and dancer Bata (32, real name Kim Tae-hyun) are set to marry in December.
According to My Daily on September 2, Ji Ye-eun and Bata will hold their wedding on December 12 at a location in Seoul.
The two, born in 1994, met at church and transitioned from friends to a romantic relationship.

Their relationship became public in April, when they stated, “We have developed good feelings for each other after being colleagues. We ask for your warm support.”
Ji Ye-eun, known for her strong Christian faith, has expressed her affection for Bata, mentioning in various broadcasts that they met at church and highlighting that he quit drinking and smoking after finding faith.

Ji Ye-eun debuted in 2017 with the web drama ‘How To’ and gained recognition through the ‘SNL Korea’ series. She has since appeared on popular shows like ‘Running Man,’ ‘Office Workers,’ and ‘Yoo Jae-suk Camp.’
Bata is the leader of the dance crew We Dem Boyz and gained fame after finishing as a runner-up on Mnet’s ‘Street Man Fighter’ in 2022. He has also contributed to the choreography for BLACKPINK’s Jennie’s song ‘Like JENNIE,’ establishing himself in the K-pop performance scene.
