Girls’ Generation’s Sooyoung and Jung Kyung Ho break up after 14 years

Sooyoung and Jung Kyung Ho have called it quits after dating for 14 years. The reason? Busy schedules, according to Mydaily’s insider source.

“Jung Kyung Ho, who is constantly busy with his works, and Sooyoung, who is travelling back and forth between Korea and Japan, have been busy, so they haven’t been able to see each other much and in the end, concluded their relationship.”

Sooyoung’s agency, Saram Entertainment, confirmed the breakup:

“It is true the two have broken up.”

Some fans blame Jung Kyung Ho for the split, suspecting he refused to marry Sooyoung. At a press event for the K-Drama Pro Bono, Jung dodged questions about marriage:

Director Kim Sung Yoon: “At least give us the [wedding] date.”
Jung Kyung Ho: “What date? Don’t talk nonsense. There’s no such thing.”
