On March 22, reports revealed that actors Kim Go Eun and Shin Ha Kyun have broken up after dating publicly for approximately eight months.

A representative from their agency said, “The pair broke up around late February. They drifted apart due to their busy schedules. They will remain colleagues.”

The actors were previously confirmed to be dating in June 2016 as they bonded through their shared interest in skin diving. The pair gained attention for their 17-year age gap as Kim Go Eun was born in 1991 while Shin Ha Kyun was born in 1974.

Following reports of Kim Go Eun and Shin Ha Kyun’s recent breakup, rumors about Kim Go Eun breaking up with Shin Ha Kyun because of Gong Yoo have been brought up once again. Previously, rumors first arose when Kim Go Eun and Gong Yoo were filming “Goblin.”

A source from Kim Go Eun’s agency addressed the rumors and said, “There are suspicions about her relationship with Gong Yoo but it’s not true.”

The source continued, “They just worked together through a drama. Her breakup with Shin Ha Kyun was because of her schedule and not because of someone else.”

The president of Gong Yoo’s agency previously addressed the rumors through his personal Instagram and said, “Creating rumors about things that are not true and things that did not happen like this and that. Who is scribbling so preposterously. There’s no truth, but there are rumors. And a lot of it.”

how awkward, why address rumors when it was only silly unfounded gossip and drag a third person into a breakup news?

HAHA, OP, you're A+! Thanks for this post!

I know this is going to sound HORRIBLE, but praise the lord they broke up. I can't with these young girls dating these old guys. And even worse, these older guys preying on these younger girls...seriously. STOP. When you have almost two decades between you...there's seriously a big NO there.

You can do better, KGE!

Same. She's one year younger than me, too. 17 years is just such a huge age gap....can't get over it.

She is a grown ass woman and made her own decision to date him. I doubt he preyed on her. Once you are over the age of 20/21 it is not anyone elses business who is dating who and what age they are. Had she been 18 19 years old when their relationship started then you'd have a valid argument.

Yes, I agree that it's her own business since she's a grown woman. I don't know, I just can't help but judge when an older guy dates a younger girl who's like half his age. Anything over 10 years just seems like such a huge gap to me. And it's interesting how common it is in South Korea.

(the whole preying thing is more so aimed at older guys who go for 18/19 year olds, like you said. aka Sulli and Choiza).

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I think in asian culture in general its pretty normal to see a dynamic where the guy is quite a bit older. It fits into the head of the household/man of the family dynamic. Its changing now but if you look at the previous generation 8 times out of the ten the man is quite a few years older than the woman.

However I'm not trying to diminish the fact that theres is an issue with pedophilia and infantilization (especially in the asian community), its just that I don't see that here in this relationship.

Personally I like older men and not just a few years older (my personal limit is about ten years older). I'm 22 but I'm at the point in my life where I want someone grounded,able to express what they want and have legitamate goals in life. I hate playing childish mind games with relationships so I need someone that will give me those things. Not to say I haven't met mature guys my age its just that more times than not they are older

Considering what an unhealthy and patriarchal dynamic that is, this isn't really a good argument tbh lmao.

I never said it was a good dynamic. I agree it's very patriarchal. I was just stating reasons for why it's common to see an older male younger female combo. Nobody was arguing for it. "lmao" try again sweetheart😄

Really? Am I missing something? I didn't think KGE and GY had much chemistry :x (maybe because she was like 17 and he was 1000 yrs old in the drama)

I just want these young women to date men around their own ages, I don't care how good-looking or charming the older guy is... I feel as though some experience within your age-group is a necessary part of growth.

i feel the same tbh. i get love is love, some people are just more mature, they're adults, etc but i definitely think that dating around your age can bring a more equal and relatable dynamic to the relationship

Yeah, I just see it quite often in relationships with big age gaps where it seems as though the older person is guiding the younger person in an almost parental way. Obviously that doesn't apply to everyone, but it seems like a reliance/dependency more than a relationship. Not to mention my judgement of the older person who should be past the stage of exploration that a 20-something is at.

Also not saying that once you hit 30 that's it and you should have it all figured out lol.

mte, i fee like their youth is wasted. Is tht bad of me to think like tht? Especially when the women is way younger than the guy is and her age is always in early 20s whereas he's hitting 40s.

I don't think it's bad of you to think that at all. Looking at it from a societal view, women only have so many years before we apparently become 'mature'... which begins in the early-30's (and I'm being generous, it's probably younger). I think the younger person being a girl or guy is bad when it's a significant difference, but when men get out of the relationship they won't have "wasted their best years" like women have, at least in the eyes of others.

I guess these young women are looking for something they think men much older than them can provide, whether that be stability or maturity or whatever. Personally I have to question how mature and stable the man actually is when he's dating someone half his age, but that's just me.

it's like scuba diving without the air supply tank, but i think they might have meant just plain scuba diving

Probably for the best for her not to date someone who is closer to her dad's age than hers.

I believe Gong Yoo wasn't involved, because he's too ugly. Sad truth!
