If you are a fan of K-pop, you are likely aware of how challenging it can be for K-pop stars to date.

Moreover, many K-pop groups are prohibited from dating by their record companies, and this rule applies even to BLACKPINK!

SNSD's Sooyoung and actor Jung Kyungho: In February and October 2013, the couple made headlines due to dating rumors, but they claimed they were just friends, churchmates, and schoolmates. However, on January 1, 2014, they confirmed that they were in a relationship.

All seven members of BTS are not only incredibly talented but also attractive, which leads many fans to wonder about their relationship statuses. Since the K-pop group debuted in June 2013, none of its members have been in a public relationship.

Hyeri and Ryu Jun-yeol - It's surprising to think that a TV show would play matchmaker for two of South Korea's most popular stars. However, sparks flew when Hyeri, a member of K-pop group Girl's Day, met Ryu Jun-yeol on the set of his tvN show 'Reply 1988' in 2015. As they spent time together on the show and exchanged pleasantries on Instagram, a strong friendship blossomed, eventually leading to a romantic relationship. They have since reportedly split.

They got married in 2023!

Hyuna and Dawn - Known for their openness about their relationship, Hyuna and Dawn confirmed their relationship in a 2018 interview.

Jessica Jung, a former member of SNSD, has been in a relationship with businessman Tyler Kwon. Jessica revealed that their relationship began during her time with Girls' Generation, but she was asked by SM Entertainment not to disclose it.

BLACKPINK is arguably the biggest girl group in the world at the moment, and fans are keen to learn more about its members: Lisa, Jennie, Jisoo, and Rosé. However, BLACKPINK has confirmed that their company, YG Entertainment, has a rule that forbids them from dating.

Crush and Joy - They are the latest couple to join the K-pop couples list. It was only in August of 2023 that the couple made their relationship official, and the news has made their fans very excited.
