The romantic relationship between former Lovelyz member Lee Mi Joo and Jeonbuk Hyundai goalkeeper Song Bum Geun has come to an end after nine months of dating publicly.
According to a report by MyDaily, the couple recently decided to part ways.
“Mi Joo and Song Bum Geun have broken up. They loved each other beautifully, but the pressure of maintaining a public relationship was too difficult to overcome. Despite their breakup, they have chosen to continue supporting each other,” revealed a close source.
The couple went public with their relationship in April last year, sharing affectionate photos on social media.
Mi Joo, in particular, often expressed her love and support for Song Bum Geun, including visiting Yokohama, Japan, when he was playing in the J-League with Shonan Bellmare.
However, despite their efforts to maintain a long-distance relationship, they ultimately decided to go their separate ways.
Fans were also shocked by the news, especially since Song Bum Geun had just returned to South Korea to join Jeonbuk Hyundai for the new season. His transfer had previously raised hopes that their relationship would grow stronger, but fate had other plans.
Lee Mi Joo is now actively involved in the entertainment industry, showcasing her diverse talents through shows like Hanging Out With Yoo and establishing herself as a solo artist since her debut in 2023.
Meanwhile, Song Bum Geun is focusing on preparing for the upcoming season as Jeonbuk Hyundai’s goalkeeper, having first joined the club as a rookie in 2018. – BOOM!
