Yujeong from BB Girls and actor Lee Kyu-han are off the market.

According to their agencies, Warner Music Korea and Blade Entertainment, the pair is in the stage of getting to know each other.

The two have been rumored to be dating since July when they said they were not dating and were only "close friends."

Yujeong and Lee first met on the set of the KBS entertainment show "Rustically" this year.

They are 11 years apart, with Lee being 43 and Yujeong 32.

Lee debuted in 1996 through the KBS teen drama "Start." Known for his roles in dramas "My Lovely Sam Soon" (2005), "Que Sera, Sera" (2007) and "I Have a Lover" (2015–16), he made appearances in many shows, including "Real Men" (2015) and "The Law of Jungle" (2013).

Yujeong debuted in 2016 as a member of Brave Girls. The girl group became famous after its 2017 song "Rollin'" went viral in 2021. After Brave Girls' exclusive contract ended with Brave Entertainment, all four members of the group signed a new exclusive contract with Warner Music Korea in April and changed their group name to BB Girls.

BB Girls dropped its latest single "One More Time" in August.
