Breakup rumors about singer Choi Jung Hoon and actress Han Ji Min have been shut down after reports confirmed that the couple is still happily together, following confusion sparked by a viral stage moment.
The speculation started after Choi Jung Hoon was seen crying during a performance at Konkuk University’s festival. A video of the emotional moment quickly spread online, showing the Jannabi frontman struggling to continue singing as fans cheered him on.
Because he appeared overwhelmed on stage, some online users began guessing that his emotions were tied to personal relationship issues. That theory soon turned into breakup rumors involving Han Ji Min, even though there was no direct evidence linking the performance to their relationship, Koreaboo reported.
The discussion spread quickly across social media, showing how fast assumptions can grow from a single viral clip.

However, those claims have now been officially dismissed. On June 5, Han Ji Min’s agency told Star Today, “The two are dating well without any problems,” directly confirming that the couple remains together and stable despite online speculation.
Reports also clarified what actually happened during the festival appearance. Choi Jung Hoon was reportedly not in his best condition that day and struggled with his voice while performing.
As the audience supported him by singing along, he became emotional and teary-eyed on stage.
According to MK, he later explained the moment himself, saying, “I’ve been in a band for 12 years, and this was the first time my voice wouldn’t come out,” adding that he felt flustered but moved by the crowd’s support.
His reaction, according to reports, came from the live performance experience rather than personal issues. Fans at the event responded warmly, cheering him on and encouraging him during the performance.
Some later criticized the online rumors, pointing out that not every emotional moment should be tied to a celebrity’s private life.
Despite the viral speculation, Choi Jung Hoon and Han Ji Min’s relationship remains public and ongoing. The couple confirmed their relationship in 2024 after meeting through KBS2’s “The Seasons: Choi Jung Hoon’s Night Park,” and they have continued dating since then.
