Shin Min Gyu, the popular influencer from Heart Signal 4, has officially confirmed his breakup with Yoo Yi Soo, revealing that it happened much earlier than fans had thought.

On January 9th, a new video titled "Min Gyu, How Honestly Are You Going to Talk Today?" was posted on the YouTube channel kiu기우쌤, featuring Shin Min Gyu as a guest.

During the interview, he opened up about his personal life and his breakup with Yoo Yi Soo, with whom he had been in a relationship after the show.

On Heart Signal 4, Shin Min Gyu and Yoo Yi Soo became the final couple, and they publicly dated for a while.

However, rumors of a breakup started swirling when both of them removed photos of each other from their social media accounts.

When asked by the host, Kiu, "How much are you going to say today?" Shin Min Gyu responded confidently, "I can say everything."

Kiu quickly asked, "So is the breakup now public?" and Shin Min Gyu, with a slight pause, replied, "We broke up?" then added with a confused look, "I guess I just said it."

Shin Min Gyu explained that he had been planning to address the breakup at some point, mentioning, "I hear a lot of strange things."

He continued, "I'm not a celebrity, I'm just an ordinary person, but surprisingly, my personal life is being investigated a lot."

He expressed his frustration, saying, "What bothers me the most is when people send DMs about the breakup to my family."

To clarify further, he added, "It’s possible we broke up, but it’s funny to just say 'we broke up.' It’s been a long time since we actually broke up."

Following the breakup rumors with Yoo Yi Soo, Shin Min Gyu was also caught up in new gossip involving another female influencer.

A post by this influencer showed her at the same location and wearing similar clothes to what Shin Min Gyu had shared on his own Instagram, leading to speculation about a new romance.

Addressing these rumors, Shin Min Gyu explained, "Even if I meet female friends outside, I don’t know how they know about it. I’ve even received messages from my younger sister telling me to get a grip and saying I have a flirtatious tendency."

It seems like Shin Min Gyu is ready to face the rumors and clear up the confusion once and for all. Fans are now waiting to hear more from him as he opens up even further about his personal life.
