Nam Yu-jeong goes public with search for new love after Lee Gyu-han split

Nam Yu-jeong puts herself out there — literally

Nam Yu-jeong isn't waiting. On the 23rd, DefconTV uploaded a video titled "Defcon Finally Reveals a 'Honey(?)' to Spend the Holidays With!" The actress made her move clear: she wants to fall in love again.

"YouTube has 'Nam Yu-jeong wants love' as a topic and I'm really doing all sorts of things," she said. She'd also visited a marriage information company for a consultation.

She pushed back on the urgency angle. "Rather than urgent, it's a desire to love. I want to meet someone I like once," she said. On Lee Gyu-han, she was terse: "Past love has passed, so I forgot it. Everything has passed, so it's called past love."

What she's actually looking for

Nam Yu-jeong and Lee Gyu-han—11 years her senior—went public with their relationship in 2023 and split in 2024, roughly a year in. She's now direct: "I want to find new love quickly."

Her criteria are simple. Good conversation is non-negotiable. Everything else bends. "If someone communicates well with me, I don't think I would be too picky about other things," she said. She wants "someone who communicates well and can make each other laugh." One rule she won't break: no businessmen. "Business is not possible," she said flatly. At least she knows what she doesn't want.
