"I don't know what I would have done if I hadn't gone public with my relationship!"

Singer Baek Ji Young (37) has honestly opened up about her relationship with actor Jung Suk Won (28) for the first time as she met with reporters to discuss her new album. The two went public with their relationship back in May of 2011 and is said to have been dating for nearly two years now.

Baek Ji Young remarked, "I'm very happy for going public with my relationship to the point it makes me wonder, 'What would I have done if I hadn't?' I liked seeing how couple Ryu Seung Bum and Gong Hyo Jin were dating freely and just wanted to be a normal couple."

However, there are also a few disadvantages in going public with a relationship. The singer explained that when celebrity couples fight, they are unable to show it.

However, Baek Ji Young continued to boast about her public relationship with the actor saying that there were more advantages than disadvantages. As the two are both working in the entertainment industry, Baek Ji Young revealed that they have grown closer by monitoring and communicating well with each other.

"Suk Won listens to music more than I do and I watch movies more than him. After I told him that I'd be making a comeback with a dance song, he seemed to be very worried and was shocked after I showed him the practice choreography video. Because there are many girl groups, he seemed to have been worried as to how I'd be able to pull it off. But after I showed him the music video, he was satisfied and said, 'This is it! You're good.'"

Baek Ji Young has marked her return to the music industry with her second dance song "Good Boy" featuring B2ST's Junhyung since 2009's "My Ear's Candy" featuring 2PM's Taecyeon.
