Yet, the statement about the breakup being due to busy schedules has caused major doubt and speculation among netizens.
When various posts were shared, netizens pointed out that they had been together for 14 years and there had been periods where both stars had been busier than now, so it seemed an odd reason to break up such a long-term relationship. Others added that the industry standard reason has just added more fuel to the fire, especially as they unfollowed each other, with netizens doubting if they left on neutral terms.
it’s funny blaming “busy schedules” when they were just as busy in the 13 prior years of the relationship lol

I know damn well the ” busy schedule ” is def not the reason for them to break up after being in a relationship for good 14 years https://t.co/8oLHxTLZLz

Well, I’ll pretend I believe it’s the busy schedule. But I bet on one of two options: betrayal or he wants her to be a mother but she doesn’t want it (she knows once she is a mother her career is over). To end a 14 yrs relationship, it must be something heavy or just boredom.

So after 14 years and an eternity together, this is the lousy excuse Sooyoung and Kyungho expect us to believe?? 😭😭
I’m sorry but we’re all emotionally invested in this relationship. You can’t just drop a statement and leave. Tell us the real tea. What happened?! 😂

Considering how long they’ve been together, many fans expected a marriage announcement not a breakup announcement.
