Le 6 janvier, Choi Yeo Jin était l'invitée de la chaîne YouTube 'Kim Sook TV', où elle a visité l'espace de divertissement de la comédienne Kim Sook accompagnée de son petit ami. Face à la question de Kim Sook, "Puis-je le filmer ? Puis-je le révéler ?", Choi Yeo Jin a répondu avec assurance : "Tout est déjà connu".

Curiosity peaked when Kim Sook and actor Kim Sung Beom began speculating about the boyfriend's identity: "Apparently, he's rich. Some say he's the son of a tycoon. There's even a rumor that his family owns half the land in Gapyeong." To this, Choi Yeo Jin's boyfriend jokingly replied, "I'm rich... in debt."

The mood lightened when Kim Sung Beom shared that he had been scammed out of a security deposit, to which Choi Yeo Jin replied, "Come to us." Kim Sook added with a laugh, "He owns a lot of land," while Choi Yeo Jin jokingly repeated, "He's rich in debt."

Lors de cette visite, Choi Yeo Jin avait préparé du riz et du curry. Quand Kim Sook a complimenté le délicieux kimchi, Choi Yeo Jin a répliqué avec malice : "Je ne t'en donnerai plus. Tu devras venir voir mon visage pour en avoir." Kim Sook a taquiné en retour : "Tu es vraiment douée pour faire battre les cœurs. Pas étonnant qu'il soit tombé pour toi."

Choi Yeo Jin had already shared details about her relationship during an appearance on SBS TV's 'Singles for Men' last year. She revealed she was dating a non-celebrity man, seven years her senior, saying: "He was previously married and works in the seasonal sports industry. We met through sports and became friends first. At first, he wasn't my type—his looks were the complete opposite of my ideal, and he's shorter than me. But as I got to know him, I realized he's really kind. My long-legged uncle," she affectionately said.
