Gwan Hee Clarifies Relationship Status with Hye Seon

Amid the speculations and growing concerns, Gwan Hee stepped forward on January 20, 2024, to address the situation and clarify his relationship status with Hye Seon.

In a candid statement, Gwan Hee asserted that they were not a couple.

"First of all, I want to tell you that we are not a couple... Realistically, Hye Seon will need to go to England soon, and I need to move back to Changwon and focus on my training, so I didn't think we could be a couple. So we naturally became a relationship where we just ask after each other from time to time," clarified Gwan Hee.
