Jamie, aka Park Ji-min, confirmed that she’s dating actor Goo Min-cheol via her agency Warner Music Korea on November 21, 2022.
The singer-songwriter made headlines a day earlier when she posted an adorable set of motion pictures with the actor on her Instagram account. Her caption was simply, "Let's be happy!" with a green heart. Fans quickly began speculating, with some justification, that the pair were a couple after seeing the post.
Fans are gradually seeing a shift in the K-pop industry’s perception towards dating. Similar was the case with Jamie and Goo Min-cheol, as netizens only sent in positive messages and wished them well for their future.
ASC’s former host Jamie goes public with her relationship with Steel Troops 2 actor Goo Min-cheol
Any K-pop fan who grew up watching After School Club (ASC) or watched it recently, can recognize Jamie in an instant. The singer, songwriter, and TV host was an MC for ASC, the popular English K-pop talk show, from its inception in 2014 until August of this year. Throughout that time, she continued releasing music, and seeing the 25-year-old make her relationship public made fans happy.
On November 20, 2022, Jamie, without any hint or tease, posted a black-and-white four-cut motion picture with Goo Min-cheol. The couple stood close to each other and in one of the clips, kissed each other.
Fans started to wonder who the lucky guy was when they saw that the K-pop star had tagged him. They then saw the same post on Goo Min-cheol’s Instagram with only a black heart in the caption.
Not much is known about Goo Min-Cheol. His bio includes an Instagram link to a new eatery named Milltan, leading fans to believe he may be the proprietor. Goo Min-Cheol, who has 18.5k followers on Instagram, also took part in Steel Troops 2 (or Iron Squad 2), a show in which former Army Special Forces compete for their corps' honor.
Warner Music Korea, the singer's agency, made it official after the news spread online and well-wishers flooded in. In a crisp statement, they said:
“We have confirmed that the two are currently dating. Please look fondly upon them.”
Although the pictures spoke for themselves, confirmation from the agency made fans ecstatic. Fans tweeted how Go Min-cheol was "so lucky" to have Jamie by his side. One fan said that they were happy for her while another commented on how cute the couple was.
Take a look at some of the fans' reactions below:
