SBS Plus and ENA's 'I Am Solo' couple Youngja and Youngcheol are facing breakup rumors.
On July 15, posts circulated on online communities stating that "all photos of husband Youngcheol have disappeared from Youngja's Instagram feed."
Currently, Youngja's Instagram account shows that all photos with Youngcheol have been deleted, and the comments section is closed, leading to speculation about their divorce. However, Youngcheol's account still contains photos of Youngja.
In response, netizens commented, "After appearing on Lee Ho-sun's counseling show, did they ultimately break up?" and "They reportedly went through cycles of breaking up and getting back together; perhaps they couldn't overcome that even after marriage."
Previously, Youngja and Youngcheol appeared together on the special episode of 'I Am Solo' for single parents, where they developed a romantic relationship that led to marriage.
After their wedding, Youngja expressed on social media, "Looking back, there were many difficult times, and moments when I was afraid to start over, but my meeting with Youngcheol on 'I Am Solo' quietly but clearly taught me that 'love can come again.' Thank you for holding my hand until now and showing your love through actions rather than words and attitudes."
However, their recent situation was revealed unexpectedly through a program. The couple appeared on tvN STORY's 'Lee Ho-sun's Counseling Center' in March, where they candidly discussed conflicts arising from rumors of infidelity, pregnancy, and miscarriage.
On that day, Youngcheol mentioned regarding the infidelity rumors, "My wife wanted to check the 'divorce adjustment document,' but at that time, I was hurt."
Regarding the circumstances that led to their quick marriage, Youngja stated, "We got married due to pregnancy while still unable to resolve our anxieties," and Youngcheol added, "If my wife hadn't been pregnant, we wouldn't have rushed into marriage like this."
Youngja also revealed that when she learned about the pregnancy before marriage, she considered breaking up based on Youngcheol's reaction. She said, "When I took the pregnancy test, I hoped I was pregnant. I wished he would say, 'That's great. Let's raise the child,' but his response was ambiguous." Due to her uncertainty, Youngja had informed Youngcheol of her decision to break up.
Youngcheol explained, "When I heard she was pregnant, I felt really good, but I couldn't show it. I thought it might be a burden, so I said, 'I'm really happy, but I respect your thoughts and decisions.' However, she said, 'I can't have it,' which hurt me, but I couldn't show it. She cried a lot, saying she felt anxious because I didn't give her certainty."
The couple also faced financial conflicts. Youngja noted, "Youngcheol participates in a band hobby, but the costs of performing as a pianist are much higher than his hobby. It costs about 2 million won each time, and I don't know his monthly income details."
In response, Lee Ho-sun advised, "Money and trust are everything in marriage. To reduce anxiety, you should not just consider each other but ask questions. You should open your bank accounts and hold a monthly financial meeting to reach an agreement."
