Aren’t you currently in a public relationship?

To which Hani responded, “Yes.” The idol then stated that “Before I went public, I always felt a little apologetic for not doing so.” Hani then commented on some of the responses she had received since going public with her relationship.

Do you know what I didn’t appreciate? If you look at the comments, because Yang Jae Woong is a psychiatrist who is ten years older, they make it seem I was gaslighted into a relationship and that I was somehow coerced. It isn’t true!
