A new romance has blossomed in the entertainment industry between actress Han Ji-min (42) and Choi Jung-hoon (32), the vocalist of the band Jannabi. BH Entertainment confirmed on August 8th that the two are dating and asked for public support for their relationship.

According to sources, Han Ji-min and Choi Jung-hoon’s relationship began to develop last year after meeting on the KBS 2TV music talk show "The Seasons: Choi Jung-hoon’s Night Park." Their friendship grew stronger, leading to their current romantic involvement.

Their connection started in August 2023 when Han Ji-min appeared as a guest on "Night Park." During the episode, she and Choi Jung-hoon performed a duet of Jannabi’s "Thoughts in Autumn Night" and the OST from "Our Blues." Following the broadcast, Han Ji-min attended one of Choi Jung-hoon’s concerts, further cementing their bond. Han Ji-min expressed her admiration for Choi Jung-hoon by attending the concert, and Choi Jung-hoon noted that he wanted a guest who genuinely enjoyed his music.

The 10-year age difference between Han Ji-min and Choi Jung-hoon has also sparked interest. Han Ji-min, born in 1982, and Choi Jung-hoon, born in 1992, are a decade apart.

Han Ji-min debuted in 1998 through commercials and has since become a prominent figure in television dramas and films, with notable works including "All-in," "Dae Jang Geum," "The Resurrection," "Capital Scandal," "Isan," "Rooftop Prince," "A Familiar Wife," "The Light in Your Eye," "One Spring Night," and "Our Blues." Meanwhile, Choi Jung-hoon debuted as the leader of Jannabi in 2014 and has gained recognition for several hit songs, including "Summer" and "For Lovers Who Hesitate."
