'I Am Solo' Season 28 contestant Young-ja has finally admitted that her relationship with Yeong-cheol has ended.
On the 31st, 28th season Young-ja said, "Although I am not a celebrity or public figure, I have long pondered whether it was appropriate to leave such a post about my personal matters. However, I felt it was proper to inform those who have cared for and worried about me about the current situation."
She continued, stating that she had ended her relationship with the other party and officially announced the breakup.
28th season Young-ja explained, "We never filed a marriage registration, and during our time together, we each bore our own living and financial expenses, so there are no assets or monetary issues to settle separately. All personal arrangements and item transfers following the end of our relationship have also been completed."
She added, "I will not provide further details about the process or reasons for our breakup. Moving forward, I will focus more on my present and future life than on past events and greet everyone with a better image."
Earlier, rumors of divorce between 28th season Young-ja and Yeong-cheol surfaced after Young-ja deleted or made all photos of Yeong-cheol private on her SNS.
Young-ja removed not only date photos taken with Yeong-cheol but also wedding ceremony and wedding shoot photos posted in January. Currently, she has also unfollowed Yeong-cheol's SNS account.
In contrast, Yeong-cheol continues to maintain Young-ja's photos and follow status on his SNS. Notably, he has pinned a date photo with Young-ja at the top of his feed, continuing to display his affection.

Especially since they had recently shared photos of dining out together, their sudden change in feelings drew significant attention. At the time, Yeong-cheol posted alongside a dining photo: "My wife came down to Daejeon and is at home. Although not often, we went out for dinner to get some fresh air. If this happiness is to last forever, shouldn't I do my best? I love my wife."
Later, on the 20th, 28th season Young-ja shared photos of pizza and pasta, stating, "I ordered a lot of pizza and pasta by myself today. My ears were ringing nonstop. I had to eat. Tomorrow will be pancakes," repeatedly showing that she was spending her days alone.


Subsequently, on the 28th, 28th season Young-ja posted a long photo containing Bible verses. Known as a devout Christian, she has frequently shared updates related to worship services through her SNS.
The message included phrases such as "Today too, the Lord's love for me remains unwavering," "My current situation today cannot make me despair; may I always remain calm," and "A new beginning today."
Young-ja and Yeong-cheol met while appearing on 'I Am Solo' Season 28's special single-and-divorced episode, developed into a romantic relationship, and held their wedding ceremony on January 17. At the time, Young-ja shared her thoughts on the marriage: "We had a period of waiting and tears that no one else could walk through for us. Rather than saying we will live well together, we decided to become husband and wife with a promise to stay together until the end."

About a month after remarrying, they appeared on tvN STORY's 'Lee Ho-seon Counseling Office,' confessing their conflicts and sparking discussion. The two mentioned a miscarriage due to threatened abortion that occurred around last fall and the story of their breakup notification.
Regarding this, Yeong-cheol recalled, "When we were dating, I suddenly heard the news of Young-ja's pregnancy. I was happy but couldn't easily express my feelings for fear of burdening her. I told her, 'I am very happy, but I will respect your thoughts and decision.'"
Eventually, Young-ja decided not to carry the baby in her womb and cried bitterly. Yeong-cheol revealed, "She was crying so hard that when I asked why she was crying, she said, 'Because you didn't give me certainty, I felt anxious.' In the end, we decided to have the child."
In response, Young-ja expressed her anxiety at the time: "It would have been enough if he had been like that from the beginning. If he truly liked me and gave me certainty, that would have sufficed. I was afraid that if I decided to have the baby, I might end up raising him alone, so I notified him of our breakup."
