Blackpink Singer Jisoo Confirms Relationship with Actor Ahn Bo-hyun
In a surprising twist, Blackpink singer Jisoo has confirmed that she is in a relationship with actor Ahn Bo-hyun. This revelation breaks the usual secrecy that surrounds celebrity relationships in South Korea.
Jisoo’s agency, YG Entertainment, and Ahn’s agency, FN Entertainment, both confirmed the relationship after local media reports circulated, stirring up excitement among fans. FN Entertainment released a statement saying, “The two 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.”
This announcement comes as a rare occurrence in the K-pop industry, where it is uncommon for agencies to disclose the romantic relationships of their idols. However, the industry is gradually moving away from controversial contract terms that restrict performers from dating other celebrities.
Jisoo, 28, is the eldest member of the widely popular Blackpink quartet. Despite constant rumors about their love lives, she is the only member confirmed to be in a relationship. Ahn, 35, made his acting debut with FN Entertainment in 2014 and is known for his roles in Korean dramas such as “Itaewon Class,” “Yumi’s Cells,” and “Descendants of the Sun.”
Blackpink, consisting of Jisoo, Jennie, Lisa, and Rosé, debuted in 2016 and quickly rose to global stardom. They became the first Asian act to headline the California-based festival Coachella in 2019 and were named Time magazine’s Entertainer of the Year last year, making them only the second K-pop group to receive this honor.
The group is currently on their second “Born Pink” world tour, captivating fans around the world with their electrifying performances. With Jisoo’s newfound public relationship, fans will undoubtedly be keeping a close eye on this powerhouse couple as they continue to make waves in the entertainment industry.
