Singer Jang Ki-ha appeared on 'Radio Star,' but made no mention of his publicly dating 18-year-younger partner, Yoon Ga-i.

On the 9th episode of MBC's 'Radio Star,' Jang Ki-ha shared a cheerful anecdote: "I was cast in an advertisement for hangover relief medicine. It's the 'Jang' from Jang Kaseol-yu. Jang Ki-ha, Card Garden, Seol Woon-do, and Yoo Byung-jae. Since senior Seol Woon-do was involved, I felt I had to join that ship. He even coached me in acting."

He then added about things he wanted to boast about: "I've released my first solo album. With Jang Ki-ha and the Face Band, we've put out five regular albums, but this is my first as a solo artist. The title track is 'Nuna Nana.' I produced a 30-minute silent film before the music. Once the edited video was ready, I composed the music to match it frame by frame without altering anything."

On this day, Jang Ki-ha made absolutely no mention of his publicly dating 18-year-younger partner Yoon Ga-i. Instead, he said, "I enjoy controversy," adding, "I like it when there's controversy about my music because every listener has different opinions. When I released 'Not Envious,' some comments said, 'I can't accept this as music.' Others remarked, 'He claims to succeed through luck without effort,' drawing attention."

Regarding his cameo appearance in last year's film 'Virus,' he stated: "I thought they invited me for a brief cameo, but my role turned out to be substantial. Initially, I declined. Actor Kim Yun-seok called and recommended me, saying, 'I want to act with someone named Jang Ki-ha.' He told me, 'The stage is all set; just come play and act as if you're having fun.' He even personally monitored my performance."

Meanwhile, it is reported that Jang Ki-ha and Yoon Ga-i have been nurturing their relationship for over two years. The couple first met in 2023 when they served as host and crew member, respectively, on Coupang Play's 'SNL Korea.' They reportedly grew rapidly closer due to shared interests in music and film. Jang Ki-ha was born in 1982, while Yoon Ga-i was born in 2000.
