Girls’ Generation’s Yoona and actor-singer Lee Seung Gi’s relationship began at the very beginning of last year (January 1) but after a year and eight months, their agencies confirmed that they are no longer a couple.
S.M Entertainment (Yoona’s agency) and Hook Entertainment (Seung Gi’s agency) both confirmed the news, stating that “they decided to remain close friends (an oppa and dong saeng relationship)”.
Insiders claim that the two’s busy schedules contributed to their split because they were not able to juggle their careers and meeting up with each other often.
Yoona is currently in preparations for Girls’ Generation’s fifth album release next week (Lion Heart drops on August 18) and Seung Gi is shooting a new variety show New Journey to the West as well as his upcoming movie Marital Harmony.
