In a surprising revelation during the latest episode of SBS’s “Dolsing Fourmen,” Shindong, a prominent member of the legendary boy band Super Junior, candidly shared an update regarding his romantic life, which has recently taken a turn.

Earlier this year, Shindong made headlines as one of the “New Year’s Couple Reveals” of 2023, as reported by Sports Seoul, not Dispatch. At that time, his agency confirmed that he was dating a non-celebrity woman, igniting interest among fans and followers.

However, during the recent episode, Shindong disclosed that he and his girlfriend have officially parted ways as of April 2024. "Since I never publicly mentioned the breakup, I kept seeing comments asking if I got divorced… But we broke up. We dated for about three and a half years. It was tough after the breakup, but we decided to root for each other as we move on our separate paths," he explained, highlighting the mature and amicable nature of their split.

Interestingly, Shindong lightheartedly noted the timing of his breakup announcement, joking that it coincided with the much-publicized dating news of IU and Lee Jong Suk which overshadowed his situation. "It was revealed after IU and Lee Jong Suk’s dating news, so the comments were like, ‘We don’t care,’" he quipped, revealing the mixed reactions from fans as they were preoccupied with other love stories in the idol world.

Fans of Shindong and Super Junior have taken to social media to express their support and understanding, with many praising him for his openness and maturity about the breakup. As the K-pop industry continues to evolve, these personal accounts from idols remind fans of the human side behind the celebrity façade.

Stay tuned for more updates on Shindong and his future endeavors, as fans are eager to see how this beloved idol will navigate life post-breakup!
