Lovelyz's Mijoo has left fans buzzing after deleting photos with her boyfriend, Song Bum Geun, from her social media, sparking rumors of their breakup.

On January 20, eagle-eyed fans noticed that Mijoo removed a photo from her SNS featuring her and Song Bum Geun during a trip to Japan.

The image showed the two enjoying a day in Yokohama, with their matching couple rings subtly stealing the spotlight. Fans quickly connected the dots, pointing out that their activities and location hinted at a close, happy bond.

Adding more fuel to the rumors, Mijoo and Song Bum Geun are no longer following each other on social media. However, it’s unclear if they ever followed each other to begin with.

Not long after, rumors of a breakup began spreading rapidly. Addressing the situation, Mijoo's agency, Antenna, released a brief statement saying, “We ask for your understanding as it is difficult for us to comment on the artist's private life.” Despite the agency’s silence, the SNS activity has convinced many fans that the couple has parted ways.

Mijoo confirmed her relationship with Song Bum Geun, a professional soccer player, back in April 2024.

At the time, Song Bum Geun was playing for Shonan Bellmare in Japan’s J-League but has since returned to Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors in Korea’s K-League. Their romance had even sparked rumors of marriage, but recent developments seem to tell a different story.

Fans are now expressing mixed feelings online, with some sharing their support for Mijoo while others remain curious about the true status of their relationship.

On January 20, Minnie sat down with StarNews for an interview at Cube Entertainment's office in Seongsu-dong, Seoul, where she shared her excitement and a few challenges ahead of her first solo album.

Minnie’s highly anticipated solo mini-album, 'HER,' is set to drop on January 21 at 6 PM, and fans are already buzzing with excitement. The album features seven tracks, including the title song 'HER,' the pre-released 'Blind Eyes Red,' as well as 'Drive U Crazy' (Feat. Woogie), 'Cherry Sky,' 'Valentine's Dream,' 'It's Okay,' and 'Obsession' (Feat. TEN of WayV).

Not only did Minnie showcase her vocal talents, but she also took on the role of singer-songwriter, writing all the lyrics for the album. The track 'HER' is a catchy pop anthem that features lyrics by Big Naughty (Seo Donghyun) and a funky, minimal bass riff. Fans can expect a fresh and diverse sound from Minnie that highlights her style.

In addition to 'HER,' Minnie worked with Thai artist TEN of WayV on 'Obsession,' a retro-inspired disco-pop track with Minnie's distinctive vocals and TEN’s unique voice adding extra flair to the song.

Minnie has been actively involved in songwriting and composing for (G)I-DLE over the years, collaborating with various artists and expanding her musical range. She previously worked on tracks with Australian-Chinese singer Wenji, Thai rapper F.HERO, and pop singer Anne-Marie, showing her wide musical influence.

During the interview, Minnie shared her excitement about going solo, saying, “I’m so excited and happy. It’s my first solo after 7 years since debut. I’m curious about the reaction from fans who have waited for so long." She also mentioned, "I’ve been preparing for this album for a few years in my spare time. The other members also released their solo albums, and I was waiting for my turn. I thought fall or winter would suit the concept well.”

Minnie’s solo journey is officially underway, and with her raw talent and passion, it’s clear she’s ready to take on the music world in her own way! Fans can’t wait to see what comes next.
