[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Yeon-ju] Rapper Cheetah revealed her love story with her boyfriend, actor and film director Nam Yeon-woo.

On the 11th, Cheetah and Nam Yeon-woo joined as a new couple on MBC's variety show 'If You’re Envious, You Lose' (Bureopji).

On the broadcast that day, Cheetah said, "When I was first approached for 'Bureopji,' I thought about refusing. Dating is a very personal matter," she began. Then, she asked Nam Yeon-woo to "cover his ears" and candidly confessed, "I have always been in a public relationship. It’s just that it wasn’t exposed to the media."

Regarding the reason for appearing on the show despite this, she said, "I also wanted to brag a little, and I had the feeling of 'This person is mine, so don’t mess with him.'"

Nam Yeon-woo said, "I thought it was a grateful thing to have our relationship recorded (through the show)."

The two also talked about their first impressions of each other. Cheetah said, "I first met Nam Yeon-woo at a meeting. The moment he opened the door and looked back at me, I thought, 'Wow, he’s handsome.'"

Nam Yeon-woo recalled, "I had drunk a lot the day before and came out right after waking up. The moment I saw her, I felt like I was melting away. When I get nervous, I get shaky hands, so I couldn’t drink coffee. I’m still analyzing why that was."

Hearing this, Cheetah coolly responded, "(Your charm) should be just one or two things."

Meanwhile, Cheetah publicly revealed her relationship in October 2018, and it was announced in December of the same year that her boyfriend was Nam Yeon-woo. Since then, Cheetah also starred in the film 'Hot Issue,' directed by Nam Yeon-woo.
