The young woman, whose name remains unknown, is reported to be the same woman who appeared in a grilled chicken brand commercial alongside the singer. She is the woman who is seen with her arms linked to a man and entering a Tudari chicken joint (seen below). 

Lim Chang Jung acknowledged that he is indeed dating, informing media outlet New1star on Thursday, "I didn't intentionally try to hide the fact that I'm dating. We've been going around publicly for a couple of months, so I was a bit surprised to see that the articles came out just now. The woman in the photograph in my MV is my actual partner. She is a yoga instructor in her late 20s and is not a celebrity." 

Lim Chang Jung's agency has also confirmed the news with, "It's true that Lim Chang Jung is in a relationship with a non-celebrity. She is the woman in the photo seen in his recently released MV 'The Love I Committed.'" 

Well, this sure is surprising news, but congrats to the happy couple!
