Singer Ailee mentioned her prospective groom and businessman Choi Si-hoon from ‘Solo Hell’.

Ailee appeared as a guest on the second episode of ‘BYOB’, which was uploaded on YouTube channel ‘JohnMaat’ at 10 am today (11th). During the outdoor filming with the K-pocha concept, Ailee exclaimed, “You can see Namsan Tower too, it‘s really cool”.

On that day, Ailee sang her new song ‘The BOSS’, which was released last month, to liven up the on-site atmosphere. Ailee introduced ‘The BOSS’ as, “It’s a song about independence. It contains the message, ‘You are the main character of your life.’. Park Jun-hyung, who watched Ailee‘s performance, praised her, saying, “It’s a refreshing new song that really blows your mind.”

Her love story with non-celebrity businessman Choi Si-hoon was also revealed for the first time. Ailee said, “At first, we weren‘t interested in each other, but as we talked more, I thought, ’I think I‘m going to marry this person.’ This was before we were dating, but she felt the same way. She takes good care of me like a child.”

The two began dating at none other than a god concert. Ailee said, “It was a little cold, so I covered my knees with the jacket he gave me. I put my hand inside the jacket, and his hand slightly touched mine. But I didn‘t want to move. While everyone was dancing and singing, we were in our own world. It was like slow motion,” he said, sharing a sweet love story that drew explosive reactions from Park Joon-hyung and Brian.

Ailee prepared sparkling white wine in line with the concept of ‘BYOB’, where guests bring their own alcohol. For the K-pocha menu to pair with this, she chose yukjeon and budaejjigae, showing off her ‘foodie’ side. In the special food corner that relieves stress with its strong spiciness, a bibimbap burger appeared, surprising Ailee with its extreme spiciness.

‘BYOB’ is a ‘global K-food talk show’, where Park Joon-hyung and Brian become the owners of a K-pocha and have drunken conversations in English with guests. The eating and talking stimulates the five senses and is getting a hot response from global viewers. It will be released every Friday at 10 AM through the YouTube channel ‘JohnMaat’.
