The Internet Reacts: Divided Opinions All Around
The confirmation didn’t land softly. While some fans congratulated the couple, much of the online reaction quickly focused on their 18-year age gap, with many netizens expressing discomfort. Several commenters compared Jang Kiha to Leonardo DiCaprio, who has long been criticized internationally for a recurring pattern in his dating history.
The comparison also drew attention to Jang Kiha’s past — he is widely known in K-Pop circles as IU’s ex-boyfriend, with whom he dated from 2013 to 2017 — another relationship that had a notable age difference.
But not everyone agreed with the criticism. Many netizens pointed out that Yoon Ga-i is a grown adult fully capable of her own decisions, with supporters arguing: “Yoon Ga-i isn’t someone who just barely turned 20 — she’s 26. It’s not like she’s being blackmailed into dating him. They like each other.”
Neither Jang Kiha nor Yoon Ga-i has publicly responded to the online debate beyond the initial relationship confirmation. KbizoOm
