YouTuber Aoyi (real name Kim Min-young) is making headlines by revealing her love story with her new boyfriend, acupuncturist Kim Hyung-bae. After the identity of her boyfriend was revealed faster than expected, she decided to show his face and openly shared their journey from first meeting to becoming a couple.

Aoyi announced her relationship on the 1st via her SNS. She posted, "My plan is to approach slowly and carefully. First, hide my face and take it slow. That way, no one will be surprised? Of course not even my boyfriend. So he can adjust gradually," along with a photo of a man whose face was covered.

However, contrary to Aoyi's plan, her boyfriend's identity was revealed immediately. It turned out he is Kim Hyung-bae, an acupuncturist who runs the YouTube channel "Healthy Acupuncturist Kim Hyung-bae."

Previously, Aoyi made a surprise appearance on Kim Hyung-bae's YouTube channel. Although she did not reveal her face, her voice alone exposed her identity, and Aoyi expressed her embarrassment.

She said, "I went to film it thinking I'd teach a lesson as a senior YouTuber, but it was revealed so quickly," adding, "My voice is like my fingerprint."

She continued, "Since this has happened, I'll reveal my face and enjoy YouTube more comfortably. Fortunately, this man wasn't too flustered and seemed to be enjoying it subtly."

The day after confessing her relationship, Aoyi also shared on her YouTube channel the process from her first meeting with Kim Hyung-bae to becoming a couple.

Through her YouTube video, Aoyi stated, "Yes, I'm in a relationship." She explained, "I was debating whether to reveal this or not, but I didn't want an invisible wall to form between me and my subscribers (Ollap). So I decided to make it public."

Their connection began when Aoyi accidentally watched an acupuncturist's video. She said, "It was probably last spring. I like searching for health and diet information on YouTube, and an algorithm recommended a handsome acupuncturist. I thought he was handsome but just scrolled past. I completely forgot about him."

However, a few months later, while having lunch with her staff and discussing relationships, she recalled Kim Hyung-bae again. She said, "One of my staff members saw a handsome acupuncturist and got 10 sessions of Chuna therapy. When they showed me the photo, I remembered that acupuncturist I had seen before." Her staff then told her, "Boss, you should try Han (Rep.) once."

She continued, "I thought it was ridiculous, but after lunch ended, I went to my room and searched for his Han (Rep.). Fortunately, he was in Bundang. Since I lived in Bundang then, it was close to my home."

However, this did not immediately lead to a meeting. Aoyi said, "I'm lazy when it comes to dating and need a lot of courage. Several months passed like that."

Later, she needed weight management and searched for Kim Hyung-bae's Han (Rep.) again. She said, "Originally I was 45kg, but at that time I was around 48-49kg. Suddenly I remembered that Han (Rep.) and thought I should go." She added with a laugh, "I received very serious diet counseling. The question that stood out in my memory was 'Do you have constipation?'"

She also revealed the moment Kim Hyung-bae recognized her. She said, "He suddenly told me he had been a fan for a long time. I thanked him and went home, but nothing happened."

However, after Kim Hyung-bae contacted her, their relationship gradually developed. Aoyi said, "I received a DM asking, 'Min-young, are you taking your medicine well?' He also invited me to come for my second prescription." She added, "After taking the medicine then, I lost 3kg. There was nothing more to lose, and I was too busy preparing for moving, so I couldn't go. About 3-4 months passed like that."

Their connection resumed after Aoyi moved. She said, "After moving, my house felt empty and lonely. I took a photo of the Han River view and posted it on my story, and then another DM came." She explained, "'Min-young, I hope you're doing well. My view is very similar to yours,' he said."

She continued, "The views were indeed very similar. It turned out he lived just 5 minutes away in the next apartment building." She added, "I mustered up the courage and suggested we become neighborhood friends."

Thanks to their close proximity, they naturally met more often and started developing feelings. Aoyi recalled, "He took good care of me in many ways. While we were getting closer, we held hands." She continued, "While holding hands and drinking coffee the next day, he asked, 'What kind of relationship are we?'"

She added, "When I said 'we're in a flirty phase,' he replied, 'But can we hold hands if we're just flirting?' Then he suggested, 'Let's make it official from today.' That's how we started dating."

Meanwhile, Aoyi married racer Seo Ju-won from the 2018 Channel A dating reality show "Heart Signal" but divorced in 2022. Since then, she has been active through various content, and recently revealed her romance with acupuncturist Kim Hyung-bae, signaling a new beginning.

Kim Hyung-bae runs the YouTube channel "Healthy Acupuncturist Kim Hyung-bae" and gained attention for his tall stature of 189cm and handsome appearance. He became known after appearing on Channel A's "Birth of Body God."
