In a first for YG Entertainment, the agency has confirmed that Blackpink's Jisoo and actor Ahn Bo-hyun are in a relationship. The announcement came after South Korean media outlet Dispatch published photos of the couple near Jisoo's home, prompting YG Entertainment to confirm the news.
The agency stated, "[Jisoo and Ahn] are in a stage where they are getting to know each other slowly with good feelings. We would appreciate if you could watch the couple with a warm gaze."
Jisoo, 28, is a member of the globally popular girl group Blackpink, which debuted in 2016 and is currently on its second world tour, "Born Pink." Known as a "homebody," Jisoo reportedly spends most of her time at home when not touring, which has allowed the couple to meet up at her residence in Yongsan, South Korea.
Ahn Bo-hyun, 35, is a well-known actor who debuted as a model in 2007 and began his acting career in 2014. He is recognized for his roles in "Descendants of The Sun" (2016), "Itaewon Class" (2020), "Yumi's Cells" (2021, 2022), and "Military Prosecutor Doberman" (2022).
This confirmation marks a significant moment for YG Entertainment, as it is the first time the agency has publicly acknowledged a dating rumor about a Blackpink member. Ahn's agency, FN Entertainment, also released a similar statement confirming the relationship.
As Blackpink continues their "Born Pink" world tour, with their next performance scheduled for August 11 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, USA, fans and followers will undoubtedly be watching the couple's relationship unfold with interest. Currently, Jisoo is the only member of Blackpink confirmed to be in a relationship.
