South Korean media report that Girls’ Generation member Sooyoung and actor Jung Kyung-ho have ended their relationship after 14 years of dating. Multiple outlets say the breakup is confirmed by their respective agencies. Sooyoung’s agency, Saram Entertainment, states that it is true they have broken up and that they will remain “good colleagues.” Jung’s agency, Management Allum, also confirms the split but says it is a private matter and does not provide further details.
Reports also cite reasons mentioned by South Korean media: the couple ends the relationship due to their busy work schedules. Ahead of the confirmations, online speculation spread after fans noticed the two stars no longer appear to follow each other on social media. As of the reporting date, neither is shown among the other’s following list, which fueled breakup rumors.
The news draws attention because the couple is widely viewed as one of the more enduring celebrity relationships in South Korea, and both have previously spoken openly about each other in interviews and public appearances.
