Oh, 33, and Soyeon, 28, started dating in Dec. 28, 2010, after they appeared on MBC TV’s entertainment show “Flower Bouquet.”

Soyeon had been an old fan of Oh before her debut as a member of T-ara. During their relationship, the girl group member stood by Oh during his compulsory military duty of two years. Oh also supported his girlfriend when T-ara was mired in a member-bullying scandal.

Rumors about their breakup intensified after they unfollowed each other on social media networks.

Oh is currently engaged in musical acting, while Soyeon is engrossed in overseas activities in China and Japan.
