Young-sook and Young-sik, the couple from the 32nd season of the dating reality show “I’m SOLO,” have broken up. Both announced the split on October 26 through their personal social media accounts, about three months after they went public with their relationship, Xports News reported.
Young-sook shared a lengthy post explaining the decision to her followers. “I am telling you cautiously, as many people have asked,” she wrote. “We have decided to end our relationship as lovers and to cheer for each other’s happiness.”
She stressed that the relationship had been genuine from start to finish. “The time we spent together and the feelings we had for each other were sincere,” she wrote. “I was happy to meet a good person, and I intend to keep that time as a good memory.”
Young-sook also thanked the viewers who had followed the couple since their television appearance. “I understand the hearts of fans who are curious about us, since our relationship was made public through the show,” she wrote. “I sincerely thank everyone who looked at us kindly and cheered for us.”
Looking ahead, she said she plans to carry on as before. “I will continue to work hard in my own place and live smiling as usual,” she wrote. “I would be grateful if you would watch over us warmly so that we can each do well in our own places.”
Young-sik posted his own message on the same day, confirming the breakup in similar terms. “I sincerely thank everyone who cheered for us,” he wrote. “After long deliberation, we decided to cheer for each other’s paths.”
“I am thankful for the time we spent together, and I will continue to work hard in my own place,” he added, closing his message on a calm and respectful note.
The pair first met on SBS Plus and ENA’s “I’m SOLO,” appearing together in the show’s 32nd season, a special edition featuring divorced singles. After the season wrapped, they developed into a real-life couple and went public with their relationship in July.
In the months that followed, the two shared glimpses of their long-distance romance, traveling between Seoul and Busan to spend time together. Their updates drew steady attention from viewers who had watched their story unfold on screen, making them one of the season’s most closely followed couples.
No further details about the reasons behind the split were shared by either party, and both framed the decision as a mutual one reached after careful thought. For now, the two appear set to return to their everyday lives away from the spotlight that followed their televised romance.
