Dancer Bada has addressed rumors surrounding his relationship with broadcaster Ji Ye-eun, firmly denying allegations of so-called "transit dating."
His agency Aira stated on April 15 that some reports had relayed unverified online claims without proper fact-checking, emphasizing that the rumors are entirely false.
The speculation began circulating after the couple publicly confirmed their relationship on April 13. Past online posts resurfaced, alleging that Bada had ended a six-year relationship and immediately begun dating Ji Ye-eun.
The agency refuted the claims, clarifying that Bada has never been in a six-year relationship and that his previous breakup occurred three years ago. They also warned of strong legal action against the spread of false information.
Relationship Confirmed, Rumors Dismissed
Bada and Ji Ye-eun, who had been industry colleagues, reportedly grew closer through shared religious activities. Their connection dates back further, including collaboration on choreography work last year.
Bada is the leader of the dance crew We Dem Boyz and gained wider recognition after finishing as runner-up on Street Man Fighter in 2022.
