K-pop diva Bada is dating a businessman nine years her junior.
Her agency on Sunday confirmed following a news report that she was in a romantic relationship with a franchise business operator, who she met early this year on a blind date.
“They are in a full-blown romance, but it’s still too early to say they are going to marry,” said her agency representative.
Bada, 36, whose real name is Choi Sung-hee, started her singing career in 1997 as a member of K-pop girl band SES.
She turned to musical theater when the band broke up in 2002.
She has had leading roles in several musicals, including “Legally Blonde,” “Notre-Dame de Paris,” “200 Pounds Beauty” and “Gone with the Wind.”
