Actor Jung Kyung Ho and Girls’ Generation (also known as SNSD) member and actress Sooyoung have ended their 14-year relationship, prompting many to wonder about their future paths.
On the 9th, news broke confirming Jung Kyung Ho and Sooyoung’s breakup. The couple began dating in 2012, officially confirmed their relationship in 2014, and had been supported by the public as a long-term couple until recently.
Following the sad news, some in the public speculated, “Often when long-term couples break up, one person quickly gets married,” suggesting that either Jung Kyung Ho or Sooyoung might announce marriage or a new relationship soon.
This has also brought renewed attention to cases in the entertainment industry where couples who dated publicly for a long time broke up and then one or both announced marriage shortly afterward.

In the music industry, HyunA is a notable example.

In 2022, rumors of marriage arose when DAWN gave HyunA a proposal ring, but in November of that year, they announced their breakup.
