Stephanie Opens Up About Her Relationship with 23-Year-Older Boyfriend and Career Challenges


Stephanie, 38, has revealed that she is in a relationship with a boyfriend who is 23 years her senior.

On the upcoming episode of KBS Joy's 'Ask Anything', airing on the 9th, Stephanie, known for her top-tier dance skills as a member of the girl group The Grace since their debut in 2005, will make an appearance.

Despite gaining popularity just two years after debuting with The Grace, Stephanie had to halt her activities four years later due to an injury. She shares her current status, mentioning her rehabilitation in the U.S. and her upcoming nationwide tour with a ballet company.

Stephanie reveals that a lingering question, "Why didn't it work out despite doing everything well?", has become a significant concern in her life, prompting her to seek advice on 'Ask Anything'.

In response, Lee Soo-geun expresses confusion, asking, "What didn't work out? Did you not make enough money?" He later comments that Stephanie's concerns might stem from being "too full".

Stephanie shares that despite her dedication to her performances, some people question why she hasn't won on 'Immortal Songs'. Seo Jang-hoon and Lee Soo-geun, surprised by this, reassure her by saying, "You're successful, which is why 'Immortal Songs' invites you," and "Someone who hasn't succeeded wouldn't be active for 21 years."

Seo Jang-hoon tells Stephanie that her desire to excel is due to her ambition, adding, "Being able to work for a long time is also a talent." Lee Soo-geun also encourages her, saying, "Many people know how hard and well you work."

Stephanie also updates on her relationship with former Major Leaguer Brady Anderson, which made headlines in 2020 due to their 23-year age difference, stating, "We're still doing well," sparking interest in her latest news. 'Ask Anything' episode 355 airs at 8 PM.
