Singer Jang Kiha and actor Yoon Ga-i are in a relationship, their agencies have confirmed.

Reports emerged Saturday that the two have been dating for more than two years. According to the reports, they first met in 2023 on the Coupang Play variety show "SNL Korea," where Jang Kiha appeared as a host and Yoon Ga-i as a cast member. The two grew close over a shared interest in music and film. They follow each other on social media, and people around them are aware of the relationship.

Yoon Ga-i's agency, WI Entertainment, confirmed the news Saturday. "It is true that Yoon Ga-i and Jang Kiha are in a relationship," the agency said.

Jang Kiha was born in 1982 and Yoon Ga-i in 2000, making them 18 years apart. Jang Kiha previously dated singer-actor IU, who is 11 years his junior, for four years before they parted ways in 2019.

Before the relationship became public, Yoon Ga-i was asked about her ideal partner on a variety show. "I like someone who is kind and humble to the end, and someone with a gentle face," she said.

Jang Kiha made his debut in 2003 with the band Nuntteugo Cobain and later fronted Cheongyeonsilup and Jang Kiha and the Faces.

Yoon Ga-i made her acting debut in the 2019 film "Sunhee and Seulgi" and rose to wider prominence after joining "SNL Korea" as a cast member starting with its fourth season in 2023.
