  • Baby Vox member Lee Hee-jin recalled a past relationship with a cheating ex-boyfriend.
  • She described him as someone who saw her as a "marriage material" while dating another woman for "relationship material."
  • The story was shared during an appearance on the SBS entertainment program 'Ahn Geun Jin'.

Lee Hee-jin, a member of the iconic K-pop group Baby Vox, has shared a particularly unpleasant past relationship experience. During a recent appearance on the SBS entertainment program 'Ahn Geun Jin' (roughly translated as 'No, But Really'), the singer recounted an encounter with an ex-boyfriend she described as the "worst."

When host Boom asked if she had ever dated someone who was brazenly unfaithful, Lee Hee-jin did not hesitate to share her story. She revealed that one of her former boyfriends had a peculiar and hurtful approach to his relationships.

According to Lee, the ex-boyfriend compartmentalized his romantic interests, telling her that she was "marriage material" while simultaneously dating another woman whom he considered "relationship material." This distinction clearly caused her distress and highlighted the manipulative nature of his behavior.

The candid revelation came as Baby Vox reunited as a group to celebrate their 29th anniversary, drawing attention to the members' personal lives beyond their music careers.
