Ji Ye-eun: Dating BATA after two months of 'some,' their pet name is 'Jagi'

South Korean actress Ji Ye-eun graced the latest episode of SBS's 'Running Man,' celebrating its 800th episode in Yeosu, and offered viewers a glimpse into her blossoming romance with dancer BATA. The public's fascination with the couple's relationship was palpable as cast members eagerly inquired about the timeline of their courtship.

“

I dated for a really long time. I think it was about a month and a half.

Ji Ye-eun candidly shared that her "some" phase with BATA, a period of dating without a formal commitment, lasted a considerable time, spanning about a month and a half. She further revealed the sweet intimacy of their early relationship, admitting that even after they officially started dating, she felt a sense of shyness, waiting three weeks before they held hands. BATA himself initiated this step, asking for permission, which only added to the romantic tension and excitement.

“

We didn't hold hands for three weeks even after we started dating. He asked me first, 'Can I hold your hand?'

During the broadcast, which coincided with the release of dating rumors about Ji Ye-eun, host Yoo Jae-suk playfully teased her about constantly checking her phone. When asked if she was exchanging loving words, Ji Ye-eun responded with a charming affirmation, stating, "We say 'I love you' every day." The actress also shared their affectionate pet name, revealing that they affectionately call each other "Jagi," a common Korean term of endearment akin to "honey" or "darling," eliciting laughter and warm reactions from the cast and audience.
