Girls' Generation's Sooyoung and Jung Kyung-ho Break Up After 14 Years: The Reason?

Girls' Generation member and actor Choi Sooyoung, 36, and actor Jung Kyung-ho, 43, have ended their 14-year relationship. The original report cited Sooyoung's social media alongside the news.

Their agencies confirmed the breakup, saying the two decided to remain on good terms as industry colleagues and as a senior-junior pair who continue to support each other.

Choi Sooyoung and Jung Kyung-ho began dating in 2012 and made their relationship public in 2014. Because they had long been regarded as one of the entertainment industry's representative long-running couples, many had expected the pair to share happy news in the near future, but they have instead chosen to part ways and remain colleagues.

Jung Kyung-ho debuted in 2003 as part of KBS's 20th open recruitment class of actors. He has appeared in dramas including "I'm Sorry, I Love You," "Time Between Dog and Wolf," "Smile, You," "Beating Again," "Missing 9," "Prison Playbook," "Life on Mars" and "Crash Course in Romance." He is currently filming ENA's romantic comedy "Tempting Romance."

Choi Sooyoung debuted in 2007 as a member of Girls' Generation before transitioning into acting. Her drama credits include "My Spring Days," "Squad 38," "Man in the Kitchen," "Run On" and "Not Others." She is preparing to film KBS 2TV's new weekend drama "I Went to School," which is scheduled to air next year.
