[Edaily Starin Gim Ga Yeong Reporter] Chef Kim Do-yoon of “The Black and White Chef” and actress Kim Seo-yeon have gone public with their relationship.
Recently, a video titled “You Flirted with Me via DM, So Why Didn’t You Tag Me, Oppa?” was uploaded to the YouTube channel Studio Slam.
Actress Kim Seo-yeon appeared on the show. She has been acting since she was young. “I rose in status to become Queen Jeong-an in *Taejong Lee Bang-won*,” she said in her self-introduction.
Kim Seo-yeon continued, “I have a boyfriend. We’ve been together for four years,” adding, “On his birthday, I took a photo of a cake and posted it on social media, but he didn’t share it. He hides my existence online.”
Shortly after, Kim Seo-yeon’s boyfriend made an appearance. He is Chef Kim Do-yoon, a cast member of *The Black and White Chef*.
When asked why he hides his girlfriend’s identity, Chef Kim Do-yoon explained, “I’m worried that if a sudden controversy arises, we might have to face it together.”
Kim Seo-yeon revealed, “We’ve unfollowed each other,” adding, “We’ve blocked and unblocked each other so many times while fighting that it’s easier not to follow each other now.”
Afterward, the two said they would follow each other again and even took a photo together to post.
Kim Do-yoon, the owner-chef of restaurants such as Yoon Seoul, Myeon Seoul, and Seo-yeon, garnered attention for his appearance on Season 1 of the Netflix survival show *Black & White Chef: War of the Culinary Classes*. In Season 2, he appeared as a “hidden silver spoon” alongside Chef Choi Kang-rok.
Kim Seo-yeon, who made her debut in the 1999 film *High School Ghost Story: The Second Tale*, has appeared on the variety show *Troubled Couples* and in the dramas *Hyena* and *Taejong Lee Bang-won*.
