Aori reveals new romance with handsome doctor Kim Hyung-bae

Influencer Aori (real name Kim Min-young) has officially confirmed she has started a new relationship, sparking intense interest in her boyfriend, Kim Hyung-bae. As this is her first public romance since her divorce approximately four years ago, much attention is focused on her partner's identity and background.

On the 1st, Aori announced the news via her SNS by posting photos from a date with her partner. She effectively confirmed his identity as oriental medical doctor Kim Hyung-bae by directly tagging his SNS account, drawing significant attention.

In the released photos, the couple appeared affectionate and natural. Aori shared glimpses of her happy daily life with a bright smile. Having navigated significant personal challenges and changes over the years, she received a wave of congratulations and support from fans following the announcement.

Kim Hyung-bae is known to be more than just a "handsome doctor," having been raised in a prominent medical family. His SNS profile includes the phrase "carrying on the family business for two generations" alongside information regarding his clinic, highlighting his heritage in the field of oriental medicine.

A graduate of the Department of Oriental Medicine at Dongguk University, Kim is currently practicing as a doctor while actively producing health-related content. His tall stature of 189cm and striking looks have also earned him the nickname "visual doctor."

Kim has gained public recognition through appearances on programs such as Channel A's "The Birth of a Body God" and through his personal YouTube channel, "Healthy Oriental Doctor Kim Hyung-bae." The channel, which covers health management, lifestyle habits, and oriental medical perspectives on disease management, currently boasts approximately 110,000 subscribers.

Speculation regarding the couple had been circulating online even before Aori's official confirmation. Rumors surfaced when viewers noted that the female voice in Kim's YouTube content sounded similar to Aori, and fans pointed out that the man in certain photos resembled Kim.

While Aori did not issue a formal statement at the time of the initial rumors, she later formalized the relationship by tagging Kim's account. The transition from online speculation to official confirmation has further fueled public interest.

Aori is a popular influencer with approximately 770,000 subscribers, known for her beauty and fashion content. She married racer Joo Won, a former participant in Channel A's "Heart Signal," in 2018, but the couple divorced in 2022.

After a period of personal growth and reflection, Aori is once again in the spotlight by sharing her new love. Public interest is now focused on the relationship between Aori, a prominent media figure, and Kim, who has established his own expertise in the medical and health sectors.
