Model and influencer Yoon Ha-jeong (28), who announced her October wedding, has finally clarified the timeline of her relationship with her fiancé in relation to her appearance on 'Single's Inferno 3.'

On the night of the 22nd, Yoon Ha-jeong took to her Instagram to answer fans' questions. She is known for gaining attention through the 2023 Netflix dating reality show 'Single's Inferno 3' and recently drew renewed interest after unexpectedly announcing her marriage to a non-celebrity this October on the 21st.

When sharing a two-shot with her fiancé, Yoon Ha-jeong responded to the question, "How long have you been dating and getting married?" by saying, "We've been together for about 1,000 days. If we're getting married in October, that means we've been together for a little over three years."

She explained that she had known her fiancé since her early twenties. When asked about their love story, she said, "I've known him since my early twenties. Occasionally, when meeting up with friends, he would jokingly flirt by saying, 'Ha-jeong is my ideal type; my goal is to find a woman like Ha-jeong.' Each time, I would reject him by saying, 'I don't like skinny guys like you.' But a few years later, when we met again after a long time, he had bulked up. Apparently, he was shocked by what I said and started working out. Then, he seemed to gain confidence and began leaving desserts and bouquets at my doorstep every day, quietly and consistently expressing his feelings. At some point, my heart opened up. Eventually, we started dating."

Especially, when asked the direct question, "Were you dating before appearing on 'Single's Inferno 3'?" Yoon Ha-jeong firmly dismissed the speculation, saying, "Of course. We met by chance one year after filming 'Single's Inferno 3.' From that point on, I received confession after confession. Since we already knew each other, it didn't take long to start dating!"

She then added, "Actually, I thought I would meet the person I would marry on 'Single's Inferno 3.' I never expected to meet him after appearing on the show. That's life."

However, she noted that they were indeed dating during the broadcast of 'Single's Inferno 3.' When asked about her fiancé's reaction to the show, she said, "I'm curious what he thought about 'Single's Inferno 3.' During the broadcast, we were dating, so he just smiled and clapped whenever I appeared. It was like the ease of someone who has everything. Yerang (her fiancé) said he was even more grateful that I left Inferno alone without being chosen by a couple. If we had appeared as a couple, he wouldn't have met me, right?" she spoke candidly.

Furthermore, Yoon Ha-jeong stated, "I felt I had to be clear so that no speculative posts would arise. Instead of posting an explanation during a time meant for celebration, I decided to be honest from the start. The conclusion is that we met after filming 'Single's Inferno 3' ended. Before that, we were just acquaintances who happened to see each other occasionally."
