Actor Lee Kyu Han and former Brave Girls member Yujeong have ended their relationship after a year of dating.

On August 26th, Nam Yujeong's agency, R&D Company, confirmed the news to Star News, stating, "Lee Kyu Han and Nam Yujeong recently broke up."

Lee Kyu Han's agency, Billions, also shared, "It’s true that they have parted ways. They decided to remain good friends and support each other moving forward."

The couple had publicly confirmed their relationship in September last year. Initially, they had denied dating rumors in July of the same year, but later admitted, "We are seeing each other with mutual affection."

Despite overcoming an 11-year age gap and continuing their public relationship, they have now decided to return to being colleagues in the entertainment industry.

Lee Kyu Han made his debut in the 1996 KBS drama "Start" and has since appeared in various dramas, including "Graceful Family," "She Would Never Know," "May I Help You," "Battle for Happiness," and "Longing for You." He also shared his thoughts on marriage on the variety show "My Little Old Boy."

Nam Yujeong debuted as a member of Brave Girls in 2016 and gained popularity with the hit song "Rollin'."

After the group's contract with their former agency ended, they signed with Warner Music Korea and continued as BB GIRLS. Nam Yujeong left the group in April this year.

Actress Kang Ye Won got emotional as she opened up about why she took a break from broadcasting and why she’s finally giving love a chance.

On the March 3 episode of tvN STORY’s Can I Love Now?, Kang Ye Won made her debut as a new participant looking for romance.

During the broadcast, she revealed that negative online comments had deeply affected her. "I used to cry all the time reading comments. I get hurt easily. What might be a small wound for others feels like a huge blow to me," she shared, expressing the stress she faced from malicious remarks.

She also admitted that at one point, she wanted to leave everything behind. "I kept thinking, ‘How long do I have to keep working this hard?’ and it became overwhelming."

She added, "At one point, I thought, ‘I should just quit everything and move to the countryside,’ and that idea actually gave me peace," she confessed.

When it came to dating, Kang Ye Won shared that she had always been content watching others fall in love.

"It never worked out for me. I wasn’t the type to ask for introductions either. I just found comfort in living as an observer. Maybe it’s my fate. I’m fearful, and I lack courage. If I feel like someone might hurt me, I block them out from the start," she admitted.

However, the actress revealed that she ultimately joined Can I Love Now? for her father. "My dad was born in 1943. He had me late in life, and his health isn’t great."

She added, "I realized that if I continue living alone like this, I won’t be able to give my parents any hope until the moment they pass away," she said with tears in her eyes. "My perspective on life has changed. I no longer think just about myself, but about my parents."

Kang Ye Won’s heartfelt confession touched many viewers, leaving fans rooting for her to find happiness.
