Korean TV Star Ji Sang-ryeol Hints at Marriage with Younger Girlfriend Shin Bo-ram

Korean TV personality Ji Sang-ryeol has sparked interest by mentioning marriage with his 16-years-younger girlfriend, Shin Bo-ram.

On the January 21st episode of KBS2TV's 'Men Who Do Housework 2', the show depicted the daily life of Park Seo-jin's family during the Lunar New Year holiday.

During the broadcast, guest Kim Ji-hye caught attention when Eun Ji-won mentioned, "I heard you know Shin Bo-ram well."

Kim Ji-hye, claiming to be acquainted with Shin Bo-ram, revealed, "I was surprised. I once set up a blind date for Shin Bong-sun," exposing a past blind date between Shin Bong-sun and Ji Sang-ryeol.

A flustered Ji Sang-ryeol responded, "Why are you talking about it when the boiler of love is still running?" Kim Ji-hye joked, "I imagined you two kissing," bringing laughter to the set.

Park Seo-jin, listening to the conversation, remarked, "Come to think of it, you only meet people with the surname Shin," with subtitles listing "Shin Bong-sun, Shin Ji, Shin Bo-ram" in sequence. However, Ji Sang-ryeol confidently quipped, "I am Shin Bo-ram's boyfriend," maintaining his composure.

As scenes of ancestral rites and ceremonies were shown, Park Seo-jin expressed concern, "If you get married, won't Shin Bo-ram have to do all this?" Ji Sang-ryeol promised with loving eyes, "I'll do it. Shin Bo-ram can just relax."

This 'macho' style confession, promising to free his younger girlfriend from holiday labor, left the studio in shock. Kim Ji-hye, unable to hide her admiration, exclaimed, "Wow, oppa, you're really going to get married this year."
