Singer Jang Ki-ha (44) and actress Yoon Ga-i (26) have fallen in love. However, more than their romance, the 18th-year age gap between the two has become a major topic of discussion.

On the 27th, Jang Ki-ha's agency DooDoo Artist Company and Yoon Ga-i's agency W Entertainment announced, "The two are currently dating," confirming their relationship.

It is reported that Jang Ki-ha and Yoon Ga-i have been nurturing their love for over two years. The two reportedly met for the first time in 2023 as host and crew member on Coupang Play's 'SNL Korea,' and quickly grew closer due to shared interests in music and film.

Most notably, the two are dating despite an 18-year age difference. Jang Ki-ha was born in 1982, while Yoon Ga-i was born in 2000.

Jang Ki-ha is only five years older than Yoon Ga-i's mother, who was born in 1977. Previously, Yoon Ga-i revealed her mother, who resides in Hwacheon, Gangwon Province, on the 2024 MBC variety program 'I Live Alone.'

At that time, Yoon Ga-i stated about her mother, "She gave birth to me when she was younger than I am now," and added, "She is a person like a counselor and a friend when I have concerns about miracles or when I am worried about how to be active."

With news that Yoon Ga-i is dating Jang Ki-ha, who is 18 years her senior, her past statements about her ideal type are once again drawing attention.

Yoon Ga-i revealed her ideal type on the YouTube channel 'Nobbakku Tak Jae-hoon' in 2023. She said, "I like someone who is affectionate and humble. I like someone who looks like a gisaeng brother. I like someone with a refined face."

When asked specifically about age gaps between older and younger partners, Yoon Ga-i hesitated, saying, "Up to 10 years..." showing reluctance regarding larger age differences.

This is also a major topic as it marks Jang Ki-ha's second public relationship. He began a public romance with singer and actress IU in 2015. At the time, the two also drew attention due to an 11-year age gap. They continued their public relationship for about two years before breaking up in 2017.

Meanwhile, Jang Ki-ha debuted in 2003 with the band Nuneutgoko Beino, later performing with Jang Ki-ha and the Faces. After the team disbanded in 2018, he has been active as a solo artist. He is also active as an actor, appearing in sitcoms like 'Gamjabyul 2013QR3' and the film 'Virus,' and has served as music director for films such as 'The Thieves' and 'Veteran 2.'

Yoon Ga-i debuted in 2019 with the film 'Seonhee and Seulgi.' She gained recognition through the variety show 'SNL Korea' and has appeared in films like 'Next Sohee' and dramas 'Mary Kills People' and 'Lady Dua.'
