SBS reports that Ari mostly performs in theatrical works. Coincidentally, this might be where she met Ryeo-wook, as since going solo, he too has delved into acting in theatre!

When news that Ryeo-wook and Ari were dating went official, The Straits Times reported that the news was not very well received by their respective fans back in 2020.
