'Single's Inferno5' Kim Go-eun said she ultimately did not develop into a romantic relationship with Jo I Geon.
On the 28th, Kim Go-eun left a comment on her YouTube channel Goni goeun and drew a clear line regarding her relationship with Jo I Geon, with whom she had maintained good feelings after 'Single's Inferno5'.
That day Kim Go-eun left a long comment saying, "Everyone, first, the feelings I mentioned during '집대성' or 'The Truman Show' were truly honest feelings for me at that time. But as of now our relationship has changed, and because I did not want misunderstandings to grow, I wanted to speak as quickly and clearly as possible."
She said, "We contacted each other and took enough time to get to know one another, but ultimately we decided to remain good older brother–younger sister friends who support each other. Not every fling develops into a romance, and we also went through a natural process, so I hope my sincerity at the time is not distorted," saying that they ultimately did not develop into a romantic relationship.
Earlier the day before, Kim Go-eun uploaded a Q&A video to her YouTube channel and about whether they were a real-life couple said, "We are not a real-life couple. When media, interviews, broadcasts, or appearances happen, stories about this older brother inevitably come up and I can't ask to have that removed, so I answered only that 'we are in contact.' As I said, we are not a real-life couple, and after the 'reunion' we got back in touch and are doing well, and I hope to show many contents on my YouTube and other content that can present me alone. I would appreciate it if you also like me for that," she said.
However, because in the recently released 'The Truman Show' content in which Kim Go-eun and Jo I Geon appeared together they confessed that "the relationship is progressing" and "we are getting to know each other again now," it caused viewers' confusion.
In the end, Kim Go-eun said in a final comment that although she and Jo I Geon continued their 'fling,' they ultimately did not become lovers. She confessed, "I was worried that presenting my position alone through YouTube might come across as drawing a one-sided line. But knowing well that many people support us, I did not want to use those precious feelings when at this point we are not that kind of couple. So after consulting with him sufficiently, I wanted to speak honestly, but my expression was clumsy and I think I caused more confusion, so I feel sorry about that."
She added, "The reason I was cautious about mentioning it on broadcasts is that during 집대성 or interviews where I appeared as an individual, it was not a clearly defined relationship at the time, so I wanted to say that I was careful about mentioning it. Unintentionally, issues continued to arise after the broadcast, and because this is unfamiliar to me, it seemed difficult to clearly convey my intentions. As a result, I may have caused fatigue and confusion among you, and I am sorry! I truly want to tell those who support us that I am very grateful, and I will work to show a more mature and better side going forward."
Meanwhile, Kim Go-eun and Jo I Geon appeared on the recently concluded Netflix dating reality Single's Inferno5 last month. At the final choice, Jo I Geon chose Kim Go-eun, but Kim Go-eun chose Woo Seong-min and they became the final couple. Afterwards, Kim Go-eun and Woo Seong-min did not become a real-life couple, and as news of Kim Go-eun and Jo I Geon's rosy developments spread, many people supported the two's potential real-life romance. However, it is disappointing that Kim Go-eun and Jo I Geon also said they did not become a real-life couple.
