Mijoo, a former member of the girl group Lovelyz and now a broadcaster, has once again remained silent regarding rumors of her breakup with soccer player Song Beom-keun. While she has officially acknowledged their relationship, her silence on the breakup rumors only intensifies the controversy.
On the morning of the 4th, a production presentation for Mnet's couple matching survival show 'Couple Palace 2' was held at the Eliena Hotel in Gangnam, Seoul. CP Lee Sun-young, PD Jung Min-seok, MCs Kim Jong-kook, Yoo Se-yoon, and Mijoo were in attendance.
‘Couple Palace’ is a large-scale couple matching survival show for single men and women looking for the perfect marriage partner, featuring a hyper-realistic matching system comparable to that of a marriage agency, telling the story of finding a lifelong companion. It returns with Season 2 about a year after the conclusion of Season 1 in April last year. The first broadcast is scheduled for the 5th at 10:40 PM.
On this day, the public's attention was focused on Mijoo. It was her first official appearance since the breakup rumors. Mijoo was recently embroiled in breakup rumors about nine months after publicly dating soccer player Song Beom-keun, which began in April last year. At that time, Mijoo's agency stated, "We ask for your understanding as we cannot confirm matters regarding the artist's private life."
However, Mijoo remained silent again regarding the breakup rumors on this day. When questions about the breakup arose at the production presentation, she responded, "Today is the day for 'Couple Palace,' so I will only take questions about 'Couple Palace.' Thank you and I apologize," avoiding any mention of the breakup rumors.
The reason for the negative attention on Mijoo's silence stems from the beginning of their relationship. The dating rumors between the two arose from what is known as 'Love-stagram.' They sparked dating rumors after posting photos taken at the same location during their respective trips to Japan, and the agency officially acknowledged their relationship, stating, "They have mutual feelings and are getting to know each other cautiously. We hope you will watch over them with warm eyes."
While they were quite open about their relationship through 'Love-stagram,' and officially acknowledged it by asking for 'warm eyes' to watch over them, they now use the all-purpose shield of 'privacy' to remain silent on the breakup rumors, which only adds to the speculation and imagination surrounding the situation.
