A relationship in which you break up and make up a lot may seem appropriate for an actress who is known as the "Queen of Melodrama." In a recent magazine Hwang Jung Eum, the star of "Endless Love" and "Secrets," says that her nine-year relationship with SG Wannabee singer Kim Yong Jun has not been entirely smooth sailing.
They have broken up and made up several times.
The actress said that the relationship has had its ups and down but the couple remain devoted to each other.
"Sometimes I get sick and tired of him but in the end the only person next to me is Yong Jun," said the actress in an interview in Soompi. "We repeat the cycle of breaking up and getting back together. Even if we do end up breaking up, it doesn't go on for more than a week. If one person doesn't call then the other person ends up calling. It's very strange. We're like family now."
In 2009, Hwang Jung Eum and Kim Yong Jun, appeared on the second season of the celebrity match-up reality show "We Got Married." They dated before appearing on the show and remained together after the filming ended.
But that did not keep them from breaking up more than once. They almost broke up for good when she was cast in "High Kick Through The Roof." Rumors circulated that she was seeing co-star Daniel Choi. Kim Young Jun was upset by the rumors and did not like her kissing scenes with Choi. They fought and decided to break up.
It broke her heart and at that point she decided that she needed him to be happy.
"I can't live without Yong Jun," she told Soompi.
And yet they don't have marriage plans, says the actress, who debuted as part of the girl group Sugar. Even though nine years have passed, they are still not sure.
"We often tell each other, 'You're not my marriage counterpart.' Yet we also say, 'When are we getting married?' We say that to each other and think that if we do decide to marry then we do it, and if we end up breaking up we break up. I sometimes don't like his behavior but I still like him."
One thing has been successfully resolved in their relationship. He no longer watches her dramas or pays much attention to them. That way he won't have to be upset by any kissing scenes.
