Korean entertainment stars Ji Ye Eun and Vata announce their upcoming December wedding.

Ji Ye Eun and Vata reportedly met through church circles and share a Christian faith, with accounts noting they first met as church friends before developing their relationship.
Vata is the leader of the dance crew We Dem Boyz and has choreographed high-profile K-pop routines, including 'Like Jennie' for Jennie and 'Tempo' for Shinee’s Minho, in addition to designing the Milk Shake dance sequence for Ji Ye-eun’s duo Ji-C.
Vata reportedly supported Ji Ye-eun during her thyroid cancer battle in late 2025, accompanying her through a difficult period.
Public dating confirmation occurred in April 2026, with the couple having dated for about a year prior to the announcement.
Ji Ye-eun's acting career includes a 2017 debut in How To and later roles in Netflix’s Kian’s Bizarre B&B (2025) and Jae Seok’s B&B Rules (2026), illustrating her broader on-screen work beyond Running Man.
Ji Ye Eun, known for her work on Running Man and Korean variety shows, will marry dancer and choreographer Vata on December 12—Vata's birthday—after dating for about a year. The couple publicly confirmed their relationship in April 2026, and both CP Entertainment and A-RA released statements this week affirming their commitment to spend their lives together.
The pair has been openly affectionate in public, with Ji Ye Eun discussing Vata on shows like Pinggyego and appearing together at social events. Vata is the leader of the dance crew We Dem Boyz and has choreographed routines for major K-pop artists including Jennie and SHINee's Minho.
Ji Ye Eun and Vata reportedly met through church circles, bonding over their shared Christian faith before their relationship developed. Sources note they were initially church friends who grew closer over time, building a foundation on common values and spiritual beliefs.
Vata has earned recognition as a top choreographer in Korean entertainment. He created high-profile dance sequences including 'Like Jennie' for Jennie, 'Tempo' for SHINee's Minho, and the Milk Shake dance for Ji Ye Eun's duo Ji-C, showcasing his influence across the industry.
Vata supported Ji Ye Eun during a difficult period in late 2025 when she battled thyroid cancer. He accompanied her through treatment and recovery, standing by her side during the health crisis and deepening their bond through hardship.
The couple moved swiftly from dating announcement to wedding plans. After going public in April 2026, they announced their December 12 marriage in early September, a progression that surprised many followers. Jo Hye Ryeon reportedly predicted their engagement before the official announcement, noting during a conversation with Ji Ye Eun that the couple seemed destined for marriage.
