Comedian and actor Ji Sang-ryeol and his girlfriend, Shin Bo-ram, are drawing renewed public interest after openly discussing marriage and family matters on a recent television broadcast.

The couple, who have been dating for about 100 days, appeared comfortable addressing long-term plans, signaling that their relationship may be moving toward a more serious stage.

On the Janaury 17 episode of "House Husband 2," Ji and Shin were shown seeking advice from senior comedian Choi Yang-rak. The segment focused on practical and emotional considerations surrounding their future together, including housing, family approval, and marriage.

The discussion created a noticeably earnest tone compared to earlier, lighter portrayals of their relationship.

According to OSEN, Ji Sang-ryeol raised the subject of marriage naturally during the conversation. His concern about living arrangements, he asked, "If things go well, would it be better for our new home to be in Incheon or in Seoul, where Shin Bo-ram lives?"

Responding with humor and pragmatism, Choi Yang-rak replied, "You have to accommodate everything. You should live in Seoul," prompting laughter in the studio. Introducing another reaction, Eun Ji-won added, "Shin Bo-ram is the type who'll be loved wherever she goes."

The broadcast also revealed details about Ji Sang-ryeol's gestures of affection early in the relationship. Introducing the topic of gifts, Choi Yang-rak asked, "Did he give you a gift?" Shin Bo-ram responded by saying, "I received a luxury necklace as a gift before we started dating, and I even got a gift for my mother," surprising both the panel and viewers.

Family reactions were also discussed during the episode. As reported by The Chosun Daily, Shin addressed her mother's initial concerns about the 16-year age gap.

She said, "My mother was worried about the age difference, but I took her to eat samgyetang with Ji Sang-ryeol, and when she met him in person, she said, 'He's tall and handsome,' and she was fine with it." She added that the first meeting between Ji and her family went smoothly.

Affection between the couple was evident throughout the broadcast. Shin's description of her partner, she said, "Everything about Ji Sang-ryeol is cute. I've never seen a man like this before." Ji responded with equal warmth, saying, "His whole body is like a rainbow," drawing smiles from those present.

As the couple marks their 100th day together, conversations about housing, family, and marriage appear to be coming naturally. While no official announcement has been made, their candid remarks have fueled public curiosity about whether their relationship will soon move beyond public dating and toward marriage.
