“She waited 14 years for marriage” Jung Kyung Ho faces unexpected backlash following breakup with Sooyoung

Actor Jung Kyung Ho and Sooyoung ended their 14-year public relationship, and as the news spreads, unexpected backlash toward Jung Kyung Ho is also continuing online.

Jung Kyung Ho and Sooyoung officially confirmed their breakup on June 9th. Both sides stated, “We have decided to remain good colleagues,” announcing the end of their long-term relationship. The two, who began their relationship in 2012 and made it public in 2014, were regarded as one of the entertainment industry’s representative long-term couples.

In particular, the breakup has been received with greater disappointment because Sooyoung had previously mentioned in various broadcasts that Jung Kyung Ho was her “first boyfriend.”

Sooyoung appeared on SBS’s 'Healing Camp' in 2014 and honestly shared, “Since he was my first boyfriend, I didn’t really know what it felt like to be in a relationship.” At the time, she also expressed her sincere affection for Jung Kyung Ho along with the pressure of being in a public relationship. As these past comments are being revisited, various reactions are emerging across online communities and social media.

Some netizens responded with comments such as “I thought they would get married after 14 years,” “From Sooyoung’s perspective, he was someone she spent most of her life with,” and “Wasn’t she waiting for marriage?” expressing disappointment.

In particular, critical views toward Jung Kyung Ho are also increasing. Reactions such as “They dated for 14 years but failed to get married,” “Maybe he never intended to marry,” and “They dragged it on too long” are spreading, forming what some describe as a “responsibility debate.”

On the other hand, there are also voices cautioning against this perspective. Opinions such as “Only the two people know the relationship,” “It is excessive to blame one person for a breakup,” and “Marriage is the couple’s choice” are also being raised.

In addition, a previously resurfaced video featuring a fortune teller is also drawing attention and further fueling controversy. In the video, the fortune teller commented on the couple’s compatibility, stating that “the woman wants marriage, but the man is not very proactive,” and also predicted that “marriage is unlikely and a breakup is possible.”

After the breakup news was reported, the video spread again online and gained attention. Opinions remain divided on this as well. Ultimately, the reason for the breakup and the process are known only to the two individuals. However, as they were a couple who publicly maintained a long 14-year relationship, the public and fans are expressing significant regret.

Meanwhile, Jung Kyung Ho is currently preparing for his next projects, while Sooyoung is continuing her active career, including appearing in the stage play 'The Merchant of Venice.'
