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.

TWICE’s Jihyo has made headlines after purchasing a building worth a staggering 4 billion won in her 20s.

On May 2, Herald Economy reported that Jihyo bought a building in Seongdong-gu, Seongsu-dong 2-ga, Seoul, in early March of last year.

By the end of that month, she had completed the full payment and transferred ownership, with no mortgage attached, suggesting that the property was purchased entirely with cash.

Just a month after the purchase, Jihyo registered as a housing rental business operator and completed the registration for private rental housing.

As a housing rental business operator, she is eligible for tax benefits, such as reduced acquisition tax. However, she is also subject to certain regulations, including a 5% cap on rent increases, compliance with rental periods, and mandatory insurance for tenant deposits.

The building, which was built in 1986, has a land area of 152㎡ (45.98 pyeong) and a total floor area of 330.21㎡ (99.89 pyeong). It includes one basement level and three floors above ground.

The property is situated in Seongsu Strategic Redevelopment Zone 2, an area currently undergoing redevelopment.

Given the area's future potential, it is believed that Jihyo's investment is more focused on the property's long-term value rather than immediate rental income.
