Commenting on the split, a social media user wrote, “He already proposed to her 2 times over the years. She is the one clearly who doesn’t want to marry him and just used an excuse to “wait for the right time” (sic). Another stated, “Not Sooyoung and Jung Kyung Ho too they were genuinely one of the last couples I expected to break up (sic).
After their breakup news became public, Kyung Ho and Sooyoung also unfollowed each other on Instagram. Screenshots of the two missing from each other’s Insta followers list were circulated widely.
