With the start of the new year 2026, the entertainment industry is already seeing pink vibes as news of three couples publicly dating has emerged. From idols to actors and musical stars, those active in different fields are proudly revealing their relationships and receiving congratulations from fans.
◆ 2026's first couple… Changjo♥Casper
The first pair are TEEN TOP member Changjo and rapper-turned-businessman Casper, who is two years older.
On the 4th, Changjo personally confessed the relationship on his private social media. He said, "Some of you may already know, and some of you may be hearing this for the first time and be surprised," and cautiously revealed that he is in a relationship.
He went on to explain the reason for his confession, saying, "When a meaningful change happens in my life, I have always wanted to tell you first," and showed a responsible attitude, saying, "I didn't want to mention this lightly." He did not hide his affection, describing his partner as "a grateful person who has positively changed my previously unstable self and always supports me."
Casper also joined the public confirmation naturally by posting photos on social media. Born in 1993, Casper became known through Mnet's 'Unpretty Rapstar 2' and the 'Show Me the Money' series, and currently runs a beauty brand as a businessman, recording annual sales of more than 10 billion won.
Born in 1995, Changjo debuted in 2010 with TEEN TOP and was loved for hit songs such as 'Clap,' 'No Joke,' and 'Her Long Straight Hair.' After completing his military service in May last year, he has been actively meeting fans through concerts and overseas performances.
◆ 2026's second couple… Shin Eun-su♥Yoo Seon-ho
The second pair are 24-year-old same-age actor couple Shin Eun-su and Yoo Seon-ho.
Both born in 2002, the two met at a gathering of acquaintances at the end of last year and developed into lovers, and they have been seeing each other for about three months. Immediately after the report, both agencies officially confirmed the relationship to OSEN, saying, "It is true that they are dating."
Despite their busy schedules, they are known to be enjoying ordinary dates and nurturing a fresh love. They attract attention not only for both being actors but also for sharing backgrounds as former trainee singers.
Shin Eun-su debuted in the film 'Vanished Time' and has grown with calm and delicate acting in works such as 'Legend of the Blue Sea,' 'Bloody Heart,' 'A Model Family,' and 'Twinkling Watermelon.' Yoo Seon-ho became known through 'Produce 101 Season 2,' then transitioned to acting, appearing in 'Under The Queen's Umbrella' and 'The Married Life of Yeolnyeo Park's Contract Marriage' and is also active in variety as a regular member of KBS 2TV's 'I Live Alone.'

The third pair are Bae Na-ra and Han Jae-a.
On the 30th, Bae Na-ra's agency YY Entertainment told OSEN, "It is true that the two are dating. They care for each other and are seeing each other prettily." This officially confirmed that an onstage connection has turned into real-life love.
The two worked together in musicals such as 'Grease,' 'Housewarming concert,' and 'The Garden of Rapaniche,' and their shared passion for the stage and love of music naturally deepened their relationship, according to reports.
Bae Na-ra is active between musicals and dramas, and recently attracted attention by revealing even small daily moments through an appearance on I Live Alone.
