'I Am SOLO' couple Yeong-suk and Yeong-sik end their relationship

Yeong-suk and Yeong-sik, who began dating after meeting on the "Divorced" special of 'I Am SOLO' in June, have decided to go their separate ways. Following a long-distance relationship between Seoul and Busan, Yeong-suk announced the breakup on social media on the 26th.

Yeong-suk and Yeong-sik, who developed into a real-life couple during the 32nd season of 'I Am SOLO' and received support from viewers, have broken up. Although they continued their relationship by sharing their daily lives involving long-distance travel between Seoul and Busan after the broadcast, they have ultimately decided to end their romantic relationship and go their separate ways. Yeong-suk carefully shared the news of the breakup, emphasizing that both the time they spent together and their feelings for one another were sincere.

On the 26th, Yeong-suk announced the breakup by posting a long message on her social media. "Since many people have been asking, I am speaking carefully," she stated, adding, "We have decided to end our relationship as a couple and support each other's happiness." She provided this direct explanation to those who had been curious about their relationship.

Rather than expressing resentment or using sharp language toward her partner, her message regarding the breakup contained her intention to cherish the time they spent together. "Both the time we spent together and our feelings for each other were sincere," Yeong-suk wrote. "I was happy to meet a good person, and I intend to keep that time as a good memory." This is interpreted as a sign that while their connection as lovers has ended, she does not deny the moments they shared.

She also did not forget to express gratitude to the viewers who had supported them. "Since you came to know us through the broadcast, I fully understand why you are curious," Yeong-suk said. "I am sincerely grateful to everyone who has looked upon us fondly and supported us." This implies she is well aware of the interest and support from viewers who watched their relationship evolve from the broadcast into a real-life romance.

She also shared her calm plans for her future daily life. "I will continue to work hard in my position and live my life smiling as usual," Yeong-suk said. She further requested, "I would be grateful if you could watch over us warmly so that we can both do well in our respective places." Rather than disclosing specific reasons for the breakup, her remarks focused on respecting each other's choices and requesting consideration for their privacy.

Yeong-suk, who works as a popera singer and freelance MC, met Yeong-sik, who is four years older, during the "Divorced" special of the ENA and SBS Plus dating reality program 'I Am SOLO' broadcast in June. After showing mutual interest during the show, the two developed into a real-life couple and continued their relationship outside of the program.

In particular, they drew interest from viewers by sharing their long-distance dating life traveling between Seoul and Busan on social media. The sight of them continuing their love even after the broadcast became another reason for viewers to support them. However, the two, who shared the excitement of a public relationship, have ultimately chosen to break up.

Yeong-suk's statement reflects an attitude of maintaining respect for the time spent together and for her partner. As the specific background of the breakup has not been disclosed, it is necessary to avoid hasty speculation. While the connection that began on the broadcast has reached its conclusion as a romantic relationship, the two will continue their daily lives in their respective places.
