Comedian Jang Dong-min has revealed his romance with singer Navi on a live TV show.
Jang, one of three hosts of
tvN variety show “Bangshipop” on Thursday, confessed to the relationship with Navi, who sat next to him.
The romance was revealed after the other four celebrities on the show said they heard rumors that Jang and Navi were seen dining together privately.
They demanded to know whether the couple were romantically involved.
Jang first struggled for words and looked nervous.
Then he grabbed her hand and raised it, saying, “We are seeing each other.”
The singer clearly did not expect him to reveal their romance and covered her face with her hand.
“This may be the first time in Korean TV history that a celebrity has broken news of a romance on a live TV show,” said one of the hosts, Lee Sang-min.
