SOURCE: 지예은♥바타, 열애 인정에 ‘환승 의혹’ 성지글…“6년 사귄 여친 두고?”
As actress Ji Yeeun and choreographer Vata officially confirmed their relationship, a post from an online community has recently resurfaced, sparking controversy.
On the 13th, Ji Yeeun and Vata's agencies, CP Entertainment and ARA Entertainment, officially confirmed their relationship, stating, "The two, who had been colleagues, recently developed mutual feelings and are now seeing each other." The two, both born in 1994, reportedly met through their church and eventually became a couple.
However, right after their relationship was confirmed, posts written by an anonymous user since last July became the center of the attention. The user had documented their flirting stage and relationship development in detail, starting about 10 months before the official announcement.
The user claimed, "Choreographer Vata has a crush on Ji Yeeun," and "They are both very religious. They're always together at church," even accurately predicting that the two would go beyond friendship and become lovers. The post also gained credibility by mentioning how Vata came to handle the choreography for 'Chungju Ji-Ssi,' a project group formed by Ji Yeeun and Ji Sukjin.

It looks like Ji Yeeun and Vata are in the flirting stage
Same-age friends going to the same church. They got close while she was learning choreography from him since summer. They're saying they're just friends, but they're actually in the flirting stage. They are aware of it. As expected, there's no such thing as 'just friends' between a man and a woman.

I heard dancer Vata had a long-term girlfriend, I feel bad for her
This guy doesn't seem to have intentions to get married. He's flirting with a celebrity. He likes Ji Yeeun. If I were her, I'd break up with him. But his girlfriend has no idea.

Vata and Ji Yeeun are dating
I knew it. Vata broke up with his girlfriend, and since they kept hanging out together, it's no surprise they caught feelings. Especially since they go to the same church... Is Ji Yeeun too goot for him?ㅠ

Vata breaks up with his girlfriend and immediately started seeing Ji Yeeun
I knew he'd break up with his girlfriend, since he didn't seem to have intentions of marrying her even though they dated for a long time. Vata confessed. He was clearly very interested in her. He likes her a lot. As expected, you catch feelings when you go to the same church.
The issue lies in the 'rebound dating' allegations included in the posts. In October, the user claimed, "Vata became interested in Ji Yeeun right after he broke up with his girlfriend of six years," and added, "I feel sorry for the ex-girlfriend he dated for a long time." Since some details mentioned by the user, such as their church connection and choreography work were proven to be true, netizens are now speculating whether the timeline of the breakup and new relationship might also be accurate.
While some reacted by saying, "The post is so detailed that it's disappointing," others maintained a cautious attitude, saying, "It's just a subjective post from an anonymous community. We should refrain from groundless criticism."
Meanwhile, Ji Yeeun has established herself as a rising star through 'SNL Korea' and 'Running Man,' and is set to appear in the new Netflix show 'Yoo Jaesuk Camp' this Masy. Vata, the leaser of the crew 'We Dem Boyz,' has been active as a top choreographer after finishing as runner-up on Mnet's 'Street Man Fighter,' creating choreography fors Zico's 'New Things,' and Jennie's performances.
