Jungmok (real name Ha Jungmok), who became the final couple on ‘Mosal Love’, confessed to his breakup with Jiyeon (real name Park Jiyeon).
On the 5th, Jungmok posted on his social media, “Every day while the program was airing was a time of facing my foolish and lacking self, which was embarrassing and painful,” and added, “Looking back, I think the disappointment and shame I felt towards myself were harder than the negative things said by others.”

Regarding his relationship with Jiyeon, who became the final couple, Jungmok stated, “We have broken up,” and expressed, “I hesitated to share this fact out of fear that it might provoke more negative reactions, but I felt it was disrespectful to those who loved the program,” conveying his apologies to those who supported him.
Jungmok, who found it confusing and difficult to accept the negative attention after the program aired, reflected, “Watching not only myself but also my family get hurt was so painful that perhaps the past month was the hardest time in my life.”
He added, “Nevertheless, I am listening carefully to each criticism and reprimand you have sent and deeply reflecting on them,” and promised, “I will continuously strive to become a better person by reflecting on my shortcomings.”
Jungmok appeared on the Netflix original ‘Mosal Love’, which was released on the 8th of last month. He initially showcased a mutual romance with Lee Do but suddenly became the final couple with Jiyeon, drawing attention.
Below is the full text of Jungmok's SNS post.
Hello. I am Ha Jungmok, a participant in ‘Mosal Love’.
Thank you to all the viewers who loved and joined us in this unusually hot summer.
Every day while the program was airing was a time of facing my foolish and lacking self, which was embarrassing and painful. Looking back, I think the disappointment and shame I felt towards myself were harder than the negative things said by others.
I cannot readily use the word ‘truth’. No matter what my true intentions were, I believe I cannot reverse the results caused by my actions. Therefore, everything that was revealed on the show, whether intentional or not, is all my responsibility. I sincerely apologize to everyone who felt discomfort and unease due to my shortcomings. I am truly sorry.
I have broken up with Jiyeon, who became the final couple on the show. I hesitated to share this fact out of fear that it might provoke more negative reactions, but I felt it was disrespectful to those who loved the program. I feel sorry for those who supported me.
In fact, I have believed myself to be a decent person throughout my life, so accepting negative views about myself has been very confusing and difficult. Watching not only myself but also my family get hurt was so painful that perhaps the past month was the hardest time in my life.
Nevertheless, I am listening carefully to each criticism and reprimand you have sent and deeply reflecting on them. I will continuously strive to become a better person by reflecting on my shortcomings.
Please do not hate me too much.
Thank you.
Sincerely, Ha Jungmok
