Actress Ji Ye-eun Confirms Relationship with Dancer Bata; 'Milkshake' Challenge Video Resurfaces

Actress Ji Ye-eun has confirmed her relationship with dancer Bata, bringing renewed attention to their past 'Milkshake' challenge video.

On the 13th, Ji Ye-eun's agency, CP Entertainment, officially stated to TenAsia, "The two, who have been colleagues, are now dating based on good feelings. We ask for your warm support." Both born in 1994, Bata and Ji Ye-eun reportedly developed their relationship from church friends to romantic partners.

In July last year, Ji Ye-eun formed a project group with comedian Ji Seok-jin called Chungju Ji-ssi and performed at 'WATERBOMB SEOUL 2025'. During this event, she collaborated on stage with Bata, who choreographed the 'Milkshake' dance.

Ji Seok-jin also shared a challenge video on his social media featuring himself, Ji Ye-eun, and Bata performing cute choreography to the new song 'Milkshake'.

Ji Ye-eun revealed on MBC FM4U's 'Two O'Clock Date with Ahn Young-mi' that she personally recruited Bata. She expressed gratitude, saying, "The choreographer is Bata, who created 'Like JENNIE'. Bata is my church friend. I subtly hinted, 'Isn't the song great?' 'Don't you want to do a challenge?' and he took the bait and arranged it."
