Yoo Byung-jae Confirms Dating Rumors at the 2nd Pinggyeogo Awards

During the 2nd Pinggyeogo Awards, Yoo Byung-jae addressed recent dating rumors surrounding him and influencer Lee Yoo-jung, who is noted for her resemblance to actress Han So-hee. The event, which aired on the YouTube channel 'Ddeun Ddeun' on December 22, 2024, saw Yoo Byung-jae receiving significant attention after acknowledging his relationship. When asked by Jo Hye-ryun if he was genuinely dating, Yoo Byung-jae responded with a smile, slightly furrowing his brow. He explained, 'Many people around us were surprised. We've received a lot of support for our beautiful love. It hasn't been long—just a few months. Some people are skeptical, wondering if this is for content or a project, but we are in a very normal relationship.'

Davichi's Kang Min-kyung questioned whether such a clarification was necessary, to which Yoo Jae-suk humorously remarked, 'Why does everyone find it hard to believe?' Yoo Byung-jae added, 'I've asked for her consent several times. She said my mood and attitude were good. I always go to bed later and wake up earlier than her. We still just call each other by our names, and marriage is not in the cards yet.' His comments drew cheers of 'Congratulations, Byung-jae!' from the audience.
