Dancer Bata and actress Ji Ye-eun will marry on December 12, which is Bata's birthday. The couple, who have spent each other's special days together throughout their relationship, are now turning their birthdays into a wedding anniversary to promise a lifetime together.
On the 2nd, both Ji Ye-eun's agency CP Entertainment and Bata's agency Aile announced that the two will marry on December 12.
Ji Ye-eun personally shared the news of her marriage via her Instagram on that day. She said, "He has always been by my side, supported me, and shown me the happiness we share together. I had always thought of marriage as something distant in my life until now, but I have found someone I want to spend my life with," revealing the reason she decided to marry Bata.
Bata also stated, "I am going to marry the most precious person in my life." Regarding Ji Ye-eun, he expressed deep affection by saying, "She is a gift-like person who sees and loves me for who I truly am. She taught me what love means to someone like me who has lived only for work, and I am truly grateful."
December 12, the day the couple will hold their wedding ceremony, is also Bata's birthday. Since they are tying the knot with the person they will spend their lives with on his own birthday, it is expected to be an even more meaningful day. In particular, as the two have shown affection by celebrating each other's birthdays throughout their relationship, the wedding date carries special significance for both of them.

Earlier, Bata drew attention by publicly expressing his affection for Ji Ye-eun via social media on her birthday as well.
Bata posted several photos on her SNS on July 26 with the caption "Happy birthday my 강아디" (Happy birthday my puppy). That day was Ji Ye-eun's birthday.
The photos released at the time showed Bata and Ji Ye-eun enjoying various dates together. The couple visited an amusement park, wearing character-themed hats, creating a warm and affectionate atmosphere. In addition, they were seen spending time together in everyday spaces such as shopping malls, streets, beaches, and hospitals, smiling brightly.
In particular, Bata drew attention by also sharing photos of Ji Ye-eun from her past battle with thyroid cancer. In the photos, Ji Ye-eun was wearing a hospital gown and making a V-sign with her fingers, while Bata stood beside her, smiling brightly and leaving an affectionate two-shot photo. Ji Ye-eun responded to the post by leaving multiple heart emoticons in the comments.
Meanwhile, Ji Ye-eun temporarily halted her broadcasting activities last year due to health issues. Although she did not disclose the exact diagnosis at the time, she later revealed her battle with thyroid cancer through Netflix's variety show "Yoo Jae-suk Camp." She then said, "I heard that even a 0.1cm tumor can spread. I was told I had quite a lot of tumors," and added, "I am doing much better now. It is truly fortunate, and I am grateful."
