On the 6th, a live broadcast on YouTube channel "Chonjang Entertainment TV" featured cast members from SBS Plus' "I Am SOLO, Love Continues."
Mr. Kim said "many people already know," and confirmed he is "dating Soon-ja from Season 28."
He said they reconnected at a pop-up event for Season 28's Young-soo, talked at length and grew closer. He said they stayed in touch, and that he was the one who first worked up the courage to speak up about his feelings.
Mr. Kim also referred to comments he made during his self-introduction on "I Am Solo," saying he had said long-distance relationships and dating someone with a child could be difficult. He said he had tried long-distance dating before and found it was not easy, and that he had never dated someone with a child, calling it unfamiliar territory.
He said Soon-ja may have come across as "mean" on the show, but is not like that in real life and is "pretty." He added that she is smart, cute and affectionate.
He closed by saying the phrase "people date within their own circle" fits them, and asked viewers not to insult Soon-ja, saying if anyone needs to be criticized, they should direct it at him instead.
