“After personally checking with Yunho over the phone, he said that he never met or even spoke to [his ex] over the phone after ending their relationship.

It’s true that their relationship ended completely at that time.”

According to industry reports, the two had known each other since their school days, building a long-standing friendship that eventually developed into a romantic relationship.

The couple reportedly decided to part ways roughly three months prior, mutually concluding their relationship after several years together.

First Official Address on Personal Life

While online rumors and speculation surrounding Yunho’s love life had surfaced occasionally among fan spaces over the past few years, no formal statements had ever been released regarding his dating status.

This report marks the first time KQ Entertainment has publicly addressed or confirmed details regarding the artist’s personal relationship status.

Meanwhile, Yunho and ATEEZ have maintained a busy global schedule, following the release of their 14th mini album “GOLDEN HOUR : Part.5”, which recently achieved the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 album chart.
