We all know now how different the Asian entertainment industry is from the Western. Dating is frowned upon by most and hence, usually carried out in secret. It is not the public’s fault but the industry’s for catering to them like that. Despite this, attraction cannot be avoided, and while some couples have bloomed into the honeymoon period of their relationship, others had to go down in a break-up.
1. Kim Jennie And Kim Jong In
After Dispatch revealed the famous couple from the world’s biggest kpop bands, Kai from EXO and Jennie from BLACKPINK dating, the companies had to admit to it, given all the pieces of evidence. However, they mysteriously broke up, shortly after a month. Even though their relationship had caused quite a stir, their break-up mostly got mixed reactions.
2. Krystal Jung And Kim Jong In
Yet again, Kai was involved with the famous singer from f(x) this time. They dated before Kai, and Jennie got involved and surprisingly, fans mostly supported them. Despite belonging to the same company, they broke up with the statement that they were too busy with their work and schedules.
3. Momo Hirai And Kim Heechul
Another relationship that took the world by a storm and, once again revealed by Dispatch, was between Twice’s Momo and Super Junior’s Heechul.

Still, gradually, fans started to support this adorable couple until the inevitable happened, and they announced their break-up.
4. Kim Taeyeon And Byun Baekhyun
The idols of Girls Generation and EXO had a rather sweet relationship. She was his mentor while he was a trainee under the same company – SM.

However, it could not last as they announced their break-up due to busy schedules.
5. Kim Jihyo And Kang Daniel
Fans were surprised to find this pair dating. They made quite a couple and were always surrounded by a mix of love-hate comments, but they gradually drifted apart, or so they say, as they announced their break-up because of their busy schedules due to which they could not meet as frequently.
6. Song Hye Kyo And Song Joong Ki
The co-stars of Descendants of Sun had fallen in love on set and were also spotted for dates in New York and Bali.

However, they left millions of fans heartbroken after they divorced due to the differences they could not overcome.
7. Bae Suzy And Lee Minho
Although they never worked together, they were spotted in London together, and their relationship went strong for two years straight. They even had matching couple rings, but things started to go south after Minho enlisted in the military. Soon after, their company declared that they broke up, leaving millions of fans understandably distraught.
8. Bae Suzy And Lee Dong Wook
Their relationship started shortly after Suzy broke up with Minho when she met him at a party. Fans remember her stating Dong Wook as her ideal man, so they cooed over this couple. However, they broke up only after four months, and Suzy was also called the “Asian Taylor Swift” for apparently being a serial dater.
9. Nam Joo Hyuk And Lee Sung Kyung
The couple first starred in Cheese In The Trap but only as minor characters until they were cast in Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo, and they started dating after some time. However, they announced their break-up after a while because of clashing schedules, and no time to dedicate to each other.
10. IU And Chang Kiha
The pair had started seeing each other back in 2013, and fans loved this couple. Yet, sadly enough, they parted their ways after realizing that it probably was not working out as they expected, and decided to remain as friends.
