“I’m doing well in my relationship.”
Psychiatrist Jaewoong Yang directly mentioned that he has been dating actress Hani (Ahn Hee-yeon) from the EXID group for three years. They have already been in their 9th month of public dating. Their confident confession attracts attention as they have suffered from malicious comments related to 'gaslighting' due to their 10-year age difference.
Yang Jae-woong appears on MBC's 'Ilta Instructor', which airs on the 8th. Together with his older brother Jaejin Yang, he plans to reveal wise management techniques for dealing with the stress in relationships that all modern people experience. In particular, according to the press release, Jaewoong Yang heated up the scene by shyly confessing, "I'm doing well in my relationship," in response to Hyunhee Hong's question, "Are you in a relationship?" during a lecture on relationships with spouses, drawing attention.
Yang Jae-woong has been in a public relationship with Hani since June of last year. At that time, when news broke that Hani and Yang Jae-woong had been dating for two years, Hani's agency Sublime acknowledged their relationship, saying, "Hani and Yang Jae-woong are having a good relationship. We would be grateful if you could look at them with warm eyes." Yang Jae-woong's agency, Mystic Story, also said, "We hope you will watch with warm interest so that we can continue to have a good relationship in the future."
The two overcame their 10-year age gap and found love through their common interest in psychology, but they also had to endure cold malicious comments along with warm support. The point is that Hani is being gaslighted by Yang Jae-woong. In response to this, Hani expressed her anger on a YouTube channel in October last year, saying, "My boyfriend is 10 years older than me and is a psychiatrist, so I almost became like someone with a weak mind and body who was being gaslighted. I am not a weak person!"
Jaewoong Yang also expressed his beliefs about couples with a large age gap through a YouTube channel last February. Regarding Leonardo DiCaprio, who only dates women under the age of 25, he said, "I don't think this is strange. It's possible. But if you come to our country, people really look at you as if you're doing something unreasonable," and "It's funny that he's a thief." "We are meeting each other. There is no one we regret. They are meeting each other because they have something that attracts them. I hope that if the age difference is a little small, people will stop treating us like thieves."
He said, "Whether you are attracted to this person for salvation and fantasy, or for success and desire, you will be attracted to each other and match. There is no pressure, and gaslighting is even more ridiculous." He emphasized.
As Yang Jae-woong said, there are many couples in the entertainment industry with a large age gap. If you look at SBS's 'Single for Men' that aired on the 7th, Lee Han-wi is 19 years older than his wife, Lee Ji-hoon is 14 years older than him, and Park Hwi-soon is 17 years older. Lee Han-wi also revealed that his wife took the initiative to get married.
Hani and Yang Jae-woong refrained from mentioning each other because their public relationship was "made public by someone else's will, not of their own accord." However, Yang Jae-woong directly mentioned that he was doing well in his relationship, revealing that he and Hani were continuing their strong love for three years. Accordingly, attention is being paid to how the relationship between the two will end.
