TEEN TOP member Changjo announced he is in a public relationship.
On the 4th, Changjo posted on his personal social media, "Some of you may already know, and others may be surprised because you didn't know, but I am dating," directly revealing the relationship.
He said, "Whether it's a good thing or a sensitive matter, whenever a meaningful change happens in my life I've always wanted to tell you," and added, "I didn't want to casually pass on this news, and I wanted to calmly share it after my feelings and situation were a bit more settled."
He did not hide his affection for his girlfriend. Changjo described her as "a grateful person who, while I was active, helped positively change my emotional and mental instability and cheered me on."
He continued, "I am really sorry for surprising you and for not telling you sooner out of fear," and added, "Thank you for reading my writing even though I'm not good with words. I hope everyone stays healthy and only happy in 2026."
His girlfriend was reported to be Casper. Casper posted photos on her social media, tagged Changjo's account, and displayed affection.
Born in 1993, Casper began individual activities as a rapper by appearing on Unpretty Rapstar 2 and Show Me the Money, and is currently working as a beauty brand entrepreneur.
Meanwhile, Changjo, born in 1995 and 32 this year, debuted with TEEN TOP in 2010 and has been active since. He enlisted as an active-duty soldier in the army in November 2023 and was discharged after completing his service in May last year, and recently has been meeting fans through concerts and other stages.
Below is Changjo's full social media post
Hello, Angel & Jerry! What are you all doing at this hour…?! I feel bad thinking that I may have caused you to feel upset or surprised from the first day of the new year because of me.
Some of you may already know, and others may be surprised because you didn't know… everyone, I am dating. Whether it's a good thing or a sensitive matter, whenever a meaningful change happens in my life I've always wanted to tell you. I didn't want to casually let this story pass, and I wanted to calmly share it after my feelings and situation were a bit more settled.
Thinking about it, it's been 16 years since I started this work, and I think I've had many experiences with you over a long time and grown together. Those who have watched me for a long time know that, apart from my love for this work and consistently accomplishing things, I experienced many emotionally and mentally unstable moments while being active. She is a grateful person who helped positively change those lacking parts of me and cheered me on.
Going through early-20s experiences and various worries now in my 30s made me think more deeply about the meaning of the choices I make. I am writing this now because I thought it was a way to convey my sincere feelings to you, who have been a great strength in helping me overcome difficult times for more than 10 years.
These words do not change how I feel about the work I've done or going on stage. On the contrary, personally and professionally I feel much more settled and believe I am becoming able to focus more on the stages and music I love most. I understand my choices may disappoint or be hard to understand. I think it will take a lot of effort for my sincerity to reach you and for that sincerity to be reciprocated. Nevertheless, I plan to make these choices without hesitation. I will cherish the words of support and the concerned worries alike, and repay you with good music and performances.
I'm sorry for surprising you and for not telling you sooner out of fear, and thank you for reading my writing even though I'm not good with words. I hope everyone stays healthy and only happy in 2026. Thank you always and I love you, Angel & Jerry!!!
