Aw, too bad. One couple gets together, another breaks up. Actress, MC, and occasional singer Hyun Young of the bubbly voice has split from her boyfriend of two years, Koyote singer and goofball Kim Jong-min.
I suppose it’s not too surprising, since there have been sporadic rumors popping up over the past few months that Hyun Young would deny. Now both sides have confirmed that they’d decided to split at the end of last year after a lot of serious deliberation. Other than that, Hyun Young and Kim Jong-min are both staying quiet on specifics, although it’s likely that their “drifting apart in different directions” can be attributed in large part to the fact that Kim has been serving his military service over the past year, while Hyun Young has been busily continuing to work as a broadcast MC.
The couple first openly acknowledged their relationship in late 2007. They started dating in 2006 after both appeared on the same KBS variety program, Happy Sunday‘s Heroine 6. The 29-year-old Kim began his army duty in November 2007 and is currently serving out a public-service (desk job) position in a Seoul appellate court; he’ll be discharged in December.
It’s too bad, since I like both of them and thought they made a cute couple — Hyun Young can be really funny in a bizarre, offbeat way, and Kim Jong-min made a name for himself as the resident clown on variety programs like X Man.

So sad, I liked them together. But I’m happy he’s out in December.
kim jong min! i’ve missed him, though it’ll be interesting to see how he fits back in among the new variety shows like family outing.
aw they did make a really cute couple though, thinking back on the heroine 6 days.
wow…i remmeber he just went in and there’s was news surrounding when he went in…. and now he’s coming out! (Yes! it seems to went faster than I thought – towards some of my fave actors/singers that have gone)
I guess watching him on reruns of xman, LL, heroine felt like he never went…
she is quite cute and he’s hilarious!!
thanks for sharing
For some reason I was never able to see them together :/
Ok I know this will sound stalkerish and creepy but I can’t help reading your Twitter status and think about Jandi and her drowning episodes.
On a more relevant note, I’m rather saddened about this split because they seem like a hilarious couple.
Aw, too bad.
I’m not trying to be mean but I admire any man who has the will to spend the rest of his life listening to her. I muted her out after a few hours every week. I can’t imagine every day of the rest of my life.
NO TELL ME IT ISN’T SO! I thought they were one of the cutest and goofy couples and now they’re split apart. Oh well, they’re still friends and at least we’ll have Kim Jong-min back soon. ^.^
Aw, that sucks!! I love this couple. They are both hilarious individuals, I was really looking forward to Jongmin completing his service and appearing together with Hyun Young.
aww too bad this couple made me really happy! D:
aww KJM, I remember this being a point of jokes between the two or other MCs during variety shows…
*sigh*
Times are changing. Couples that were are no longer. XD
Congrat Kim ssi :p before you see her face cracks … too plastic

I guess I’m just the opposite of the girl above-I love how she talks-I could listen to her all day long.

I hope he isn’t heart broken for too long. I can’t imagine him being sad. T_T
Can’t wait till he comes back this year.
