Actress Ji Yea-eun (34) and dancer BATA (32, real name Kim Tae-hyun) will tie the knot on December 12.
According to Yonhap News on September 2, Ji's agency, CP Entertainment, stated, "The two have promised to share their lives together based on deep trust."
BATA's agency, Aira, added, "The couple is starting a new journey as husband and wife, promising to be each other's strongest support based on deep trust and love."
The two, born in 1994, met at church and developed their friendship into a romantic relationship.
Earlier, an entertainment industry insider revealed that the couple had been dating for about a year leading up to their wedding announcement. Despite their relatively short relationship, they decided to marry based on their mutual confidence in each other. They have recently shared the news with close friends and received congratulations.
The couple's relationship became public in April, when they stated, "We have developed good feelings for each other after being colleagues. We ask for warm support."
Known as a devout Christian, Ji Yea-eun 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.
BATA has also shown support for Ji, participating in choreography for their new song "Milkshake" when she performed with the project group 'Chungju G.C.' at the 'Waterbomb Seoul 2025' event last year.
Additionally, it is reported that BATA stood by Ji during her battle with thyroid cancer, further strengthening their bond.
Ji Yea-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 choreography for K-pop performances, including BLACKPINK's 'Like JENNIE.'
