"Church Friends to Lovers" Ji Ye-eun ♥ Dancer Vata Confirm They Are Dating

Actor Ji Ye-eun (32) and dancer Vata (32, legal name Kim Tae-hyun) are in a relationship.

On the 13th, Ji Ye-eun’s agency CP Entertainment confirmed, “The two, who had been colleagues, are now seeing each other with good feelings,” adding, “Please send them your warm support.” Vata’s agency ARA also stated, “The two are continuing a good relationship with care for each other.”

Earlier that morning, a media outlet reported the dating news. According to the report, both born in 1994, they were “church friends” before their relationship developed into romance.

Last year on Running Man, Ji Ye-eun formed the project group “Chungju Ji-ssi” with castmate Ji Seok-jin and released the single “Milkshake.” Vata created the choreography for the track.

Ji Ye-eun studied acting at the Korea National University of Arts and debuted in a web drama in 2017. She later gained wide popularity as part of the "SNL Korea" crew and is now a fixed member on SBS’s "Running Man," where she showcases sharp variety skills.

Vata is the leader of the dance crew WE DEM BOYZ. The crew was the runner-up on Mnet’s "Street Man Fighter" in 2022. Vata is especially known for creating choreography for ZICO’s “New Thing” and BLACKPINK’s JENNIE’s “Like Jennie.”
