Actress Han Ji Min (41) and Jannabi's Choi Jung Hoon (32) have officially confirmed their relationship, bringing attention to Han Ji Min's history as a devoted fan of the singer.

On August 8, Han Ji Min and Choi Jung Hoon, who are around ten years apart in age, quickly acknowledged their relationship following initial dating rumors. Representatives from Han Ji Min's agency, BH Entertainment, and Jannabi's agency, Peponi Music, confirmed to Xports News that the two first met on KBS 2TV's 'The Seasons: Choi Jung Hoon's Night Park' and recently started dating.

While their relationship came as a surprise to many, Han Ji Min's fans have noted that she has long been a fan of the singer and his rock band Jannabi, making her a "successful fan" in their eyes.

Early last year, Han Ji Min frequently attended Jannabi concerts, sharing numerous photos on her social media accounts. Fans have remarked on her consistent presence at these performances. Additionally, Han Ji Min often requested Jannabi songs on radio shows and used their music as background tracks for her social media posts, demonstrating her genuine fandom.

In November 2023, during a fan meeting after meeting Choi Jung Hoon on the show, Han Ji Min sang Jannabi's "For Hesitating Lovers," a fact that has recently gained attention. BH Entertainment also shared a vlog on YouTube featuring Han Ji Min's duet with Jannabi on "The Seasons: Choi Jung Hoon's Night Park."

In the vlog, Han Ji Min and Choi Jung Hoon discussed their personality types, and Han Ji Min appeared shy when asked to make eye contact during their duet. "How do singers keep making eye contact? It's so embarrassing," she confessed. Choi Jung Hoon responded with a bashful smile, adding to the endearing moment.

Their successful duet performance and Han Ji Min's enjoyment of Jannabi's concert during the second part of the show have been highlighted once again. Fans noticed her singing along and waving her phone's light, further proving her dedication.

Following the confirmation of their relationship, netizens revisited the duet rehearsal video, noting, "The atmosphere was already special back then," and "They were clearly flirting." Fans also playfully commented, "Han Ji Min has become a 'successful fan,'" and "Only someone like Han Ji Min can achieve this."

Prior to the official dating news, the two were spotted together, sparking speculation. Witnesses saw Han Ji Min and Choi Jung Hoon sitting closely in a restaurant, further fueling rumors of their romance.
