Jang Ki-ha and Yoon Ga-i Confirm Two-Year Relationship After SNL Korea Connection

Singer Jang Ki-ha, 44, and actor Yoon Ga-i, 26, whose real name is Jung Yoo-yeon, have been in a relationship for a second year. On June 27, Jang Ki-ha's agency DooRooDooRoo Artist Company and Yoon Ga-i's agency WE Entertainment officially confirmed that the two are dating with good feelings toward each other.

Their connection began in 2023 through Season 4 of Coupang Play's comedy program SNL Korea. At the time, Jang Ki-ha appeared on the show as a host, while Yoon Ga-i was taking part as a regular cast member, bringing them together first as senior and junior colleagues in the entertainment industry.

After that first meeting, the two reportedly grew closer through shared interests in music and film. Their relationship developed into a romance despite their 18-year age difference. Although they did not leave direct traces of the relationship on social media, mindful of public attention, they are said to have communicated by following each other's accounts.

People around them are also said to have already known about the relationship, suggesting that the pair had built enough trust for those close to them to be aware of it. Yoon Ga-i previously appeared on a variety program and, when asked about her ideal type, said she liked someone who is kind and humble to the end, adding that she also liked a person with a gentle-looking face.

Jang Ki-ha began his music career in 2003 with Nunco Band, then went through Cheongnyeonsireop in 2005 before forming and performing with Kiha & The Faces in 2008. After the group disbanded in 2018, he established himself as a solo artist.

Beyond music, Jang Ki-ha has also expanded his work into acting. He appeared in the sitcom Potato Star 2013QR3, the drama Unicorn, and the film Smugglers, broadening the range of his activities beyond his identity as a musician.

Yoon Ga-i made her debut in the 2019 film Sunhee and Seulgi. She later built her filmography through appearances in Next Sohee, Mary Kills People, Lady Dua, and other projects, and also appeared in the dramas Love Scout and Undercover High School.

Yoon Ga-i raised her public profile after joining SNL Korea as a cast member from Season 4 in 2023. She is currently awaiting the release of Asura Balbalta and All of Us Are Dead Season 2.
