On August 8, Han Ji Min and Choi Jung-hoon's agencies, BH Entertainment and Peponi Music, confirmed that the two stars are in a relationship.
It was revealed that the two bonded after Han Ji Min guested on KBS' music show 'The Seasons: Choi Jung-hoon's Night Park' where Choi Jung-hoon hosted; he and Han Ji Min sang duet songs together on the show.
They maintained a good relationship after the show, and they eventually became lovers.
In August last year, BH Entertainment's official YouTube channel uploaded a video showcasing Han Ji Min and Choi Jung-hoon's first meeting for their duet song practice session.
In the video, Han Ji Min said on her way to Jannabi's practice room, "I'll be a guest on 'The Seasons: Choi Jung-hoon's Night Park' next week. I decided to guest on the show because I became a huge fan of Jannabi after attending their concert with my sister earlier this year."
"I thought it would be wonderful if you could grace the show's final episode. I hoped to have someone who liked our music as a guest, and I'm a big fan of yours, too. I couldn't think of anyone else.", Choi Jung-hoon replied.
The two began rehearsing songs with Choi Jung Hoon taking the lead; when they reached a part where Han Ji Min had to sing alone, she became shy and glanced at Choi Jung-hoon.
She asked the singer, "Sing along, please.", bringing a smile to his face.
"I knew that singers keep eye contact when performing a duet. But I think it would make me too shy if we made eye contact on the stage.", Han Ji Min remarked.
Then, Choi Jung-hoon said, "I'd like to make eye contact. I'd love to."; the singer then became so shy that he had to cover his face again, which made everyone in the room laugh.
Han Ji Min stopped by Choi Jung-hoon's waiting room on the recording day and gave him a flower bouquet to congratulate him on his last day as the show's host.
