Ailee, a singer, is dating actor Choi Si-hoon, known for his appearance in the first season of Netflix's "Single's Inferno," Ailee's agency said Tuesday.

"Ailee's boyfriend is indeed Choi Si-hoon," her agency AtoZ Entertainment said.

In March, Ailee revealed her relationship status, saying she was dating a non-celebrity man and planning to marry him next year.

At that time, she asked for support from her fans, saying, "We are dating beautifully. Please support us," and promised to share "further good news" when the time was right.

Choi, Ailee's boyfriend, began his career in broadcasting in 2017 with the web variety show "Mapsi Oppa" and moved into acting in 2019 with the web drama "I Started Following Romance."

He gained fame after appearing in "Single's Inferno" Season 1 on Netflix in 2021, where he was introduced as an actor and clothing business entrepreneur. Currently, he is known to be running a restaurant in Seoul.
