Cube Entertainment also confirmed to the press that the relationship ended, saying the two will remain good friends.
The two singers began dating in June 2011, and rumors of their breakup began to surface on March 15, when the two lovebirds un-followed each other on Twitter. Their agencies, Cube and DSP denied the rumors, stating that the two were still going out.
The couple was the first idol couple to announce their relationship publicly. Since going public, there had been countless rumors of a breakup. As both are members of popular groups with very hectic schedules, it is assumed that they had difficulty maintaining their relationship.
Meanwhile, Yong is now focusing his attention on his upcoming Mnet drama “Monstar” while Goo Hara is in Japan.
