Nam Yu Jeong seeks new love, says she has moved on from Lee Kyu Han

Nam Yu Jeong, formerly of BBGIRLS, is actively preparing for her next chapter in love. After visiting a matchmaking agency to search for a partner, she made a firm declaration on a broadcast, stating, "I have forgotten my past love," revealing her proactive steps toward a new relationship. Having previously drawn public attention due to her relationship and subsequent breakup with actor Lee Kyu Han, she now appears focused on the future rather than the past.

On the 23rd, Nam Yu Jeong appeared on Defconn's YouTube channel 'Defconn TV,' where she shared her thoughts on dating and marriage while making Chuseok food. When Defconn mentioned that his own thoughts on marriage had grown, Nam Yu Jeong revealed that she has been making various attempts under the theme of "Nam Yu Jeong wants to love" in her recent content, even going as far as visiting a matchmaking agency. She has already participated in several blind dates and has been sharing the process of finding a new connection through her content.

The evaluation she received from the matchmaking agency also became a hot topic. Nam Yu Jeong stated that she received high marks in the appearance category and mentioned the realistic criteria of matchmaking agencies, where scores vary based on annual salary and assets. In particular, she expressed surprise at the cold conditions of the marriage market, noting that "to get a perfect score, one must have assets of 100 billion won or more." She also mentioned that even the younger generation, including those born in 2000, are visiting matchmaking agencies, noting the changing generational perceptions surrounding marriage.

When Defconn asked point-blank, "Are you in a hurry to get married?", Nam Yu Jeong's response was unexpectedly calm. Rather than being in a hurry for marriage itself, she said her "desire to love" is great and that she wants to meet someone she likes. When Defconn joked, "Why don't you just marry Ji Sung, whom you visited the agency with?", Nam Yu Jeong immediately reacted with distaste, saying "I don't want to," drawing laughter.

Questions regarding her past relationship drew even more interest. When Defconn asked, "What were those past people like?", Nam Yu Jeong replied, "Since past loves are in the past, I've forgotten them." Even when asked if she felt any lingering regret, she drew a line, saying, "There is no regret." She emphasized, "I want to find a new love quickly." The two, who acknowledged their relationship with Lee Kyu Han in 2023, officially confirmed their breakup in 2024, about one year later.

The criteria for the person Nam Yu Jeong desires were also relatively clear. Rather than external conditions, she chose an ideal type who is "someone I can communicate well with and who can make me laugh." She also drew a line regarding entrepreneurs, saying, "Business is a no-go," which once again brought laughter. Ultimately, she expressed a desire for a relationship where she can converse comfortably, rather than one based on flashy specifications.

Nam Yu Jeong, who debuted as a member of BBGIRLS in 2016, built public recognition through the chart resurgence of "Rollin'" as well as songs like "We Ride" and "Chi Mat Ba Ram." Since leaving BBGIRLS to pursue solo activities, she has been sharing her romantic life through her own content rather than hiding it.

Ultimately, the core of these remarks is not that she is "in a hurry to marry." Rather, Nam Yu Jeong repeatedly demonstrated her will to meet someone new instead of clinging to past relationships. As Nam Yu Jeong moves forward fearlessly—from visiting matchmaking agencies to blind dates and public declarations of seeking love—attention is focused on what kind of new story she will write with her next partner.
