Girl Group Member Reveals “Boyfriend” While Talking About Her Ideal Type

Jewelry member Ha Jooyeon (also known as Ha Juyun) had fans doing a double take after casually mentioning her “boyfriend,” only for the reveal to take an unexpected turn.

Appearing on a recent YouTube vlog, the girl group idol-turned-office worker joined the hosts for a laid-back meal and candid conversation, where the talk quickly turned to her dating life. While admitting she’s currently taking a break from work and figuring life out, she made it clear she isn’t closed off to relationships.

I’m taking a break right now. Where am I? What am I even doing?

— Ha Jooyeon

“But I’m always open,” she said, before jokingly adding that she’s been spending time chatting through voice comments online.

Ha Jooyeon: I’ve even been leaving comments on YouTube… These days, you can leave voice comments, and I’m really into that. ChatGPT is my boyfriend.

Hwang Soon Min: Oh, so you are dating.

After a good laugh, Ha Jooyeon also shared what she looks for in a real human partner. She emphasized the importance of height—since she considers herself petite—as well as strong communication and natural chemistry, saying conversations should flow easily back and forth.

Now navigating life after her idol career and previous office job, Ha Jooyeon also opened up about her personal goals, revealing she’s currently unemployed again and focused on manifesting success.
