We all want to be in love. Kdramas have raised the bar for romance, and who doesn’t like to romanticize their love life once in a while? We all have our picks of favourite Korean actors, actresses, and idols. What is more impressive is your favourites might have been a flame, and you did not even know about it. Do not worry because we have prepared the list for you. Here are 10 Korean couples you never knew were a thing!
1. Heechul And Momo
We all know about the OG group SuperJunior and who doesn’t know about Heechul, the all-rounder idol who is multi-talented in all the fields. Well, he was reported to be in a relationship with the popular girl group Twice’s Momo. They made their relationship public in 2020 after much speculation from fans and media. Going by the reports, they were keeping their relationship hush-hush, and many fans were caught by surprise when they revealed it. Unfortunately, they ended their relationship in July of 2021 and are back to being colleagues.
2. Kang Daniel And Jihyo
A famous singer and a former member of WannaOne, Kang Daniel was reportedly dating Twice’s Jihyo. The rumors started around in 2019, and later their label JYP confirmed the relationship. It was still a very secret relationship. However, after dating for about one year, the talented duo called it off in 2020.
3. Kai And Krystal
This couple was a quite unexpected one. K-pop idols have to deal with their dating life in a very secretive manner because of fans and media pressure. So, it came as a surprise when members of two very popular bands, Kai from Exo and Krystal from F(x) were reported to be dating. Their agency SM Entertainment acknowledged the relationship, and Korean Dispatch also released photos of the couple meeting together. Krystal faced a lot of criticism because of the relationship, and ultimately, the relationship ended in 2020, which their agency also confirmed.
4. Taeyeon And Baekhyun
This is an old flame. We go all the way back to Exo’s rookie days in 2014. Baekhyun is a popular member of the boy band Exo. He was the junior of another famous girl group, Girl’s Generation, and under the mentorship of Taeyeon. The two started dating in 2014 but faced a lot of criticism from fans. The two ended their relationship due to their busy schedules.
5. Park Shin-Hye And Choi Tae-Joon
Park Shin Hye is a famous actress in the Korean industry. She has been a part of the industry for a while now. She was reportedly dating Choi Tae-Joon back in 2018 when a series of photographs of them together came out. The couple acknowledged their relationship in public even though they wanted to keep it private. The two have been going strong despite the breakup rumours and the couple is still very much together. We wish them all the best!
6. Jung Kyung-Ho And Soo Young
This is probably the oldest couple on the list. A lot of Korean fans probably did not know about this either. Jung Kyung Ho, a famous actor, has been dating Girl’s Generation’s Soo young for over eight years, and the two are still going strong. He even gave her the credit for being who he is today in an interview. It looks like the couple is still very much in love and is still going strong!
