BLACKPINK’s Jisoo, aespa’s Karina, Han Sohee: Stars’ Relationships That Could Not Last Long
These are the stars who confirmed their romantic relationships and then break up at a “high speed”
▲ Han So-hee and Ryu Jun-yeol’s controversial romantic relationship
Han So-hee and Ryu Jun-yeol broke up after two weeks of open dating. On March 15, the two were rumored to be dating after being witnessed on a date in Hawaii. At the time, the agencies of both sides declined to give a statement, claiming it was their “personal life,” but Hyeri, Ryu Jun-yeol’s ex-lover, posted an Instagram story that said “Interesting,” raising suspicions of a “transit love” relationship.
Han So-hee later admitted to be dating Ryu, but denied the transit love allegations.
In the process, Han So-hee was criticized for her rash response. Since then, speculation and malicious comments have continued to be made toward Han So-hee, Ryu Jun-yeol, and Hyeri.
Han So-hee and Ryu Jun-yeol announced their separation on April 30, two weeks after their controversial romantic relationship was announced.
▲ aespa’s Karina and actor Lee Jae-wook, a romantic relationship that angered fans
Karina and Lee Jae-wook separated only about five weeks after admitting their love.
Karina and Lee Jae-wook officially admitted their romantic relationship on Feb. 27. The two first met at an Italian fashion show earlier this year and reportedly became lovers. Karina and Lee Jae-wook asked for support for the news of their romance, but received mixed reactions from fans.
Some diehard fans protested strongly, saying Karina betrayed them, and staged a truck protest with the threatening phrase, “If you don’t apologize, you’ll see falling album sales and empty concert seats.”
Lee Jae-wook also suffered from malicious comments and slanderous posts, to the extent his agency warned, “We will take strong civil and criminal legal action through legal representatives.”
Karina later apologized in a handwritten letter, saying, “I know how disappointed MYs (aespa’s fandom name) who have supported me so far must have been.”
Lee Jae-wook and Karina officially broke up on February 2nd. Lee Jae-wook’s agency, CJes Entertainment, said, “Lee Jae-wook decided to break up to focus on the work he is currently filming, and the two remain colleagues who support each other.”
▲BLACKPINK’s Jisoo and actor Ahn Bo-hyun, a love that even international media paid attention to
Jisoo and Ahn announced in August last year that they were getting to know each other little by little with good feelings, but they broke up after about two months of openly dating. The specific timing is unknown, but the two reportedly broke up naturally due to their busy schedules.
Jisoo and Ahn Bo-hyun’s romantic relationship drew much attention. Notably, Korean and foreign fans as well as CNN showed keen interest in the news of Jisoo’s romantic relationship as she is a member of the global girl group BLACKPINK.
