Choi Soo-young & Jung Kyung-ho split after 14 years — plus two more long-term celeb breakups

Choi Soo-young and Jung Kyung-ho are over. Saman Entertainment confirmed it on June 9: "The two have broken up. They decided to remain good colleagues."

They met at a church gathering in 2012 and went public in January 2014 after being spotted on a date. Fourteen years later, it ended. Both agencies gave the same explanation: "Their schedules became busier, creating distance, and the relationship naturally ended."

Two other long-term splits deserve mention. Lee Dong-wook and Jung Ho-yeon started dating in late 2015, went public in 2016. The 9-year age gap drew constant attention. On broadcast, Lee Dong-wook called Jung Ho-yeon "my girlfriend and closest friend." She appeared on web show Pingyego and mentioned she'd personally obtained David Beckham's autograph for him. After 9 years together, they broke up in 2024. Company On and Saman Entertainment confirmed it: "The two have broken up. They decided to remain good colleagues."

Barek Jin-hee and Yoon Hyun-min met on the MBC drama My Daughter, Geum Sa-wol, which wrapped in 2016. They became a real couple the next year. In 2022, Yoon Hyun-min appeared on KBS 2TV's Superman Is Back and said "I must have a daughter" when discussing family plans. Their agencies confirmed a 2023 breakup after 7 years, citing overlapping work schedules and growing distance. Three couples, three "busy schedules" statements—the industry's standard exit line.
