Squid Game star Jung Ho Yeon and Lee Dong Hwi, who were one of the most beloved couples in the entertainment industry, have officially broken up after 9 years together.
On November 26th, YTN reported that the two have decided to go their separate ways and are now focusing on their careers as colleagues, not lovers.
After almost a decade of nurturing their relationship, Lee Dong Hwi and Jung Ho Yeon have chosen to prioritize their busy schedules and personal growth.
The couple, who confirmed their relationship in 2016, often shared their love openly at public events. Jung Ho Yeon, who rose to international fame with her role in Squid Game, once shared in an interview how proud her partner was of her achievements.
Lee Dong Hwi also showed his support for Jung Ho Yeon when he appeared on Kwak Taxitrip Season 2 in August. During the show, he proudly referred to her as his "girlfriend and best friend," even mentioning her character 'Saebyeok' from Squid Game while chatting with a taxi driver in Los Angeles.
While their romantic relationship has ended, both are still thriving in their careers. Lee Dong Hwi recently wrapped up his role as Kim Sang Soon in the MBC drama Police Chief 1958.
He’s also a part of tvN’s variety show Finland Rooming and will soon return to the stage in the play The Lives of Others, starting November 27th.
Jung Ho Yeon, who made a successful leap into Hollywood, starred in Disclaimer on Apple TV+ last month. In the series, she plays Ji Soo, the assistant to Catherine (played by Cate Blanchett), earning praise for her strong presence and acting skills.
