Breakup with actor Ahn Bo-hyun
The K-pop world is currently in shock over the news that Jisoo and actor Ahn Bo-hyun have come to an end mere months after they announced their relationship. This development was officially confirmed by Jisoo's agency, YG Entertainment.
"It is true that Jisoo and Ahn Bo Hyun broke up," BLACKPINK's agency said. An Insider revealed to JTBC Entertainment News, "Jisoo and Ahn Bo Hyun's relationship naturally became distant due to their busy schedules, and they recently broke up."
The news of their separation was a result of their increasingly hectic schedules, causing their respective fan bases to have interesting reactions.
Their relationship was first brought to light in August when YG Entertainment confirmed their relationship following several reports in a Korean media outlet. At that point in time, YG Entertainment shared, "[Jisoo and Ahn] are in a stage where they are getting to know each other slowly with good feelings. We would appreciate if you could watch the couple with a warm gaze," while also requesting respect for their privacy as they navigated their newfound relationship.
