Actor Ji Ye-eun (지예은) responded to marriage advice from Lee Seo-jin during an appearance on the SBS variety programme Mueosideun Haejuljini - Biseojin (무엇이든 해줄지니 - 비서진), broadcast on October 16. Chosun Ilbo and Newsis reported that Ji appeared alongside Ji Seok-jin. She is preparing to marry dancer Bata (바타) in December; reports published before the programme gave the wedding date as December 12. [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ]

According to Newsis's account published on October 17, Lee asked why she was marrying so quickly and said living together would be different. Ji responded that marriage involves adjusting to one another and that it requires patience. In an interview with the production team, she questioned what unmarried seniors knew about living as a married couple and said she thought Lee, in particular, would never marry. The report described her remarks as drawing laughter. Advance coverage had also previewed an exchange in which she suggested Lee had not experienced true love. [ 1 , 3 , 5 ]

The advance reports said the programme would also cover how Bata created choreography for Milkshake, a song by the project group formed by Ji and Ji Seok-jin. Ji said she had spent time secretly dating Bata during dance rehearsals while Ji Seok-jin remained unaware of their relationship. The reports differ on when the couple publicly acknowledged dating: the Newsis and Seoul Economic Daily previews say April last year, while Chosun Ilbo's preview and the later Newsis account refer to April this year.
