Hwang Jung-eum expresses longing for former partner Kim Yong-jun

Actress Hwang Jung-eum admitted to missing Kim Yong-jun during a YouTube video released on the 21st. The pair, who were a prominent couple from 2006 to 2015, have not encountered each other since their breakup.

Actress Hwang Jung-eum has shared her candid feelings regarding Kim Yong-jun of SG Wannabe, with whom she maintained a public relationship for nine years. Stating that she has never run into him by chance since their breakup, Hwang expressed a sense of longing, saying, "I miss Yong-jun a little too." As the names of the pair, who were once considered one of the entertainment industry's most prominent long-term couples, are mentioned together for the first time in a long while, attention is being drawn from fans who remember their time together.

On the 21st, a video titled "A Day of Being Flooded with Questions from Hwang-geum-i-deul" was released on the YouTube channel 'Hwang Jung-eum.' While answering questions from fans, Hwang spoke openly about her past romantic relationships.

During the video, Hwang was asked if she had ever accidentally encountered Kim Yong-jun on the street after their breakup. She replied, "Never even once," before adding, "I miss Yong-jun a little too." The remark suggests that despite the passage of time, a sense of friendliness and curiosity toward her former partner remains.

When the production staff asked if the two had spent their most beautiful and youthful years together, Hwang gave a faint smile as if recalling memories. She continued, "Anyway, Yong-jun is a friend with many good memories. A friend I could greet warmly if I ran into him on the street." Her comments drew attention for showing that she cherishes their past as a good memory rather than denying the relationship or expressing discomfort.

Hwang Jung-eum and Kim Yong-jun were in a public relationship for approximately nine years from 2006 to 2015. Known as a representative long-term couple in the industry, they drew public interest and gained attention by appearing as a real-life couple on the 2009 MBC variety program 'We Got Married.' Their appearance was considered particularly special because they were actual lovers rather than a fictional married couple on the show.

However, after their long relationship, the two broke up in 2015. While they have since gone their separate ways, Hwang's revelation that she has never once encountered Kim Yong-jun since the breakup shows that she still holds the memories of their long relationship as fond ones.

Even when a relationship ends after a long time spent together, the memories of those days do not disappear. Hwang's brief comment, "I miss him," and her description of him as a "friend with many good memories" ensure their past is not left as merely a story of a breakup. While she did not imply a reunion or reveal any special change in their relationship, she has garnered interest by remembering him as someone she could greet warmly even after all this time.
