Jung Kyung Ho and Choi Sooyoung End 14-Year Relationship: Background and Current Activities

Actors Jung Kyung Ho and Choi Sooyoung, formerly of Girls' Generation, have ended their 14-year public relationship. Known as a long-standing celebrity couple, many fans anticipated their marriage, but in June 2026, both agencies officially confirmed their breakup, stating they would remain good colleagues. The news of their separation quickly spread online after it was noticed that they had unfollowed each other on social media.

The exact timing and specific reasons for their breakup have not been officially disclosed, citing privacy. However, it is understood that their busy schedules naturally led to a drifting apart. Following the breakup announcement, past instances such as Jung Kyung Ho's firm dismissal of marriage questions on a YouTube show and content from a fortune-telling video were re-examined. Choi Sooyoung shared photos from Japan after the breakup, while Jung Kyung Ho is filming a drama and Choi Sooyoung is preparing for a new drama, both continuing their individual careers.

While some initially linked Choi Sooyoung's increased public recognition to the breakup, it is actually attributed to her active participation in the Girls' Generation unit 'Hyori-su' and her role in the film 'Okay Madam 2'. Choi Sooyoung herself clarified that her recent popularity stems from her naturally cheerful personality showcased in variety shows, not from the breakup, stating she never hid this side of herself. Fans who supported the couple for over a decade have expressed their sadness.
